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.

Up
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.'
