Some big box office hits are making their way to DVD this week. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll love, and that’s only in the first of the DVDs releasing Tuesday, “Wall-E”. Also releasing are “Tropic Thunder” and “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2″.

Wall-E Releases on DVD November 18

Wall-E

A story of robot love and preservation of the Earth, that’s “Wall-E”. We first find Wall-E alone on Earth, having been left to clean up the mess we left behind. But when a spaceship lands 700 years later, Wall-E’s world is turned upside down. As one reviewer puts it,

The first 40 minutes or so of “Wall-E” — in which barely any dialogue is spoken, and almost no human figures appear on screen — is a cinematic poem of such wit and beauty that its darker implications may take a while to sink in.

The film is both a look at how sustainable our existence as it is now really is, and a “sweet and simple love story”.

Tropic Thunder

While filming a war movie, three diva-like actors anger their director so badly, that he decides to drop them in an actual war zone. Trouble for the actors is, they think the film is still rolling. Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and Robert Downey, Jr. play the actors who are in for the shock of their lives when they’re let out of the helicopter in the middle of the Golden Triangle, where the Flaming Dragon gangs controls the drug crop. The Flaming Dragon mistakes the actors for DEA agents, and violence (and of course, hilarity) ensue. And in the madness, “Tropic Thunder” delivers,

Think of all the ways you can hurt yourself laughing, as in fall down, split your sides, bust a gut, blow your mind. You get it all in Tropic Thunder, a knockout of a comedy that keeps you laughing constantly. It’s also killer smart, lacing combustible action with explosive gags.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

Two years and the same pair of jeans later, the girls are back in “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2″. Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera and Alexis Bledel are getting the foursome back together. Three years after the first adventure, the girls are embarking on their first year of college and the summer that follows. Through the laughs and the tears, the girls discover themselves, and rediscover their pants. Most critics are fans, with one describing it as “exactly as good” as the first, and that works.
