Rupert Grint made his big-screen debut in 2001's box-office smash Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, bringing to life Ronald Weasley, friend to the famous protagonist Harry Potter of J.K. Rowling's children's novel. Born in England in 1988, Grint had only performed in plays for school and local theater in Europe before making the giant leap into Hollywood with Harry Potter. He scored a role in the family comedy Thunderpants soon afterward, but was kept busy for the next several years as audiences saw him grow up alongside co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson while appearing in the ongoing Harry Potter sequels. He emerged in 2006 with a starring role in the well-received comedy drama Driving Lessons, alongside Hollywood heavyweights Julie Walters and Laura Linney. ~ Sarah Sloboda, All Movie Guide

The Ugly Truth
Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl in a completely predictable rom-com. She's the producer of a Sacramento early morning news show, he's the macho on-air personality and sex guru doling out dating advice to her. Gee, do you think they'll hook up in the end? It's a shame this story is so predictable, since the two leads play very pleasant characters whom you want to root for. But alas.

I can't say enough great things about this movie. Not only is this one of my favorite animated movies of all time - and The ol' DVD Guy here is a huge animation fan - but I think this is also one of my favorite MOVIES of all time. Great story. Beautiful characters. Sharp direction provided by (Bloomington, MN native) Pete Doctor. A gem. Get the multi-pack release, for sure - you'll find a nice price on it pretty much everywhere you go, and inside you'll have the DVD, the Blu-ray, and the digital release...that'll cover all your current and potential future viewing of this 'classic-to-be.'
