If that fails to excite you, then I doubt either Little Fockers or The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader is going to do much better. There are, at least, a load of older films getting Blu-Ray releases this week, including one of my favorite indies of the past decade in Lars and the Real Girl, Jimmy Fallon's finest film, Taxi, and, of course, Mystic Pizza. There's something for everyone, so read on and make your shopping list!

1. TRON: Legacy
I'm legitimately looking forward to checking this out, even if Disney did go completely crazy and put this out in like four different editions, including a crazy Identity Disc version where all eighteen discs or whatever are encased in a replica disc from the film. A bit extravagant, but then, the movie did just barely break even at the box office, and is still probably in the red when you consider marketing costs, so I'm not surprised that Disney wants to milk every cent out of it. |

2. Little Fockers
It's still completely shocking to me that Meet The Fockers made almost $280 million at the box office. I mean, The Hangover didn't even make that much. The first film in this series was at least somewhat enjoyable, but it's been all downhill from there, and Little Fockers didn't even manage to make as much as the first film in the series, despite Jessica Alba's wonderful breasts. One can only hope that this is the end of the series, but I doubt it. |

3. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Because they're too cool for school, Walden Media has decided to put this DVD out on Friday instead of Tuesday like all the other DVDs. I'm kind of surprised they didn't wait a few weeks and go for Good Friday, because life is precious, and God, and the Bible. |

4. I Love You Phillip Morris
There must be at least a dozen guys named Phillip Morris out there who are going to get this as a gag present from someone who hasn't seen it, only to be shocked - shocked! - by its contents. |

5. Casino Jack
There must be at least a dozen guys named Casino Jack...wait, that doesn't make any sense. If you want to see Kevin Spacey acting like Al Pacino, this is for you! |

6. The Taqwacores
You'd think a movie about Islamic college student punks would be interesting enough to make more than ten grand at the box office, but apparently not. |

7. Come Undone
Despite the titillating poster and the promise of examining infidelity, this is another release that only managed to scrabble around $10,000 from its limited release. It stars the daughter from I Am Love, which is enough to make it interesting to me, so we'll see if it pops up on Streaming. |

8. TRON
In case you were only interested in the older, kinda boring TRON, feel free to nab it in a new Blu-Ray special edition today, since Disney put it out as a separate disc from the Tron Legacy box sets. |

9. Lars and the Real Girl

The fifth season of the popular high school football drama comes to DVD, alongside Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Part 4, iCarly: Season Two, Volume Three, Lark Rise To Candleford: Season Four, Life Unexpected: The Complete First and Second Seasons, Lisa Lampanelli: Tough Love, Sarah Palin's Alaska, Tyler Perry's House Of Payne Volume 7. Very funny. |
