Finally, some movies I want to see coming out on DVD on Tuesday. The DVDs releasing this week run the gamut from comedy to drama to action-packed. So get your Netflix queue ready for the releases of “The Other Boleyn Girl”, “The Bucket List”, and “Jumper”.

“The Other Boleyn Girl” Releases on DVD This Week

The Other Boleyn Girl

Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, and Eric Bana star in this drama about the Boleyn girl you haven’t heard of until now. The story revolves around two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, who compete for the love of King Henry VIII because their father and uncle bring the girls into their quest to increase the family’s status and power. But while Mary is driven by true affection for the king, Anne wants the bigger prize - to be the Queen of England. The rivalry between the sisters grows until all of England is engulfed in the battle.

The Bucket List

When Jack Nicholson checks into a hospital only to be roomed with fellow old fogey Morgan Freeman, the two become fast friends after Morgan reveals his “bucket list” - all those things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Along the way, between the Taj Mahal and race cars, the two learn that it’s never too late to live the life you’ve always wanted. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might just make a list of your own. Critics have called it “absolutely charming”, “an entertaining tear jerker”, and a “rather special film”.

Jumper

Hayden Christensen stars in this movie about a guy who finds out he has the ability to teleport. He uses the ability to make a comfortable life for himself through bank robbery and other kinds of stealing, but when the jumper-hunters come calling, Christensen’s world quickly gets turned upside-down. A fun action movie, “Jumper” looks like a good pick for the week.

Witless Protection

Whether you like this movie or not will most likely depend on whether or not you like Larry the Cable Guy. The comedian stars in this movie about mistaken circumstances. Larry is a small-town sheriff who sees what he thinks is a kidnapping. It turns out that the girl is being escorted to a trial by FBI agents, not being kidnapped, but it’s a good thing Larry is there to save the day because the agents are on the take.
