Twilight'Mark your calendars Twilighters! On March 21st you will finally be able to own a copy of "Twilight" on DVD, and that means you'll be able to savor every single moment as many times as you like. That date falls on a Saturday, an extremely odd day for a DVD release (virtually all other films come out on Tuesdays.) According to the studio, the Saturday date was selected "to encourage midnight release parties for fans across the nation."

And fear not, this release of "Twilight" is anything but a bare bones edition of the film. The eagerly anticipated DVD release is going to be packed with special features. Check them out after the jump. Read More...

As much as I love giant snake movies, nothing quite matches the thrill of seeing mythological creatures parading around Manhattan or gobbling up swimmers in the Bermuda Triangle. Last year we had the rather lackluster "Dragon Wars" to tide us over, and now we have something for our next snow day: "Yeti."

'Yeti'

Headlined by former "Popular" girl Carly Pope and "SeaQuest" crewmember Peter DeLuise, "Yeti" finds the group -- a college football team -- forced to escape the uncharted wilderness as they're stalked by a "hungry beast ... with an insatiable bloodlust" (that would be the Yeti, I'm assuming, not Peter's father, Don). It's scheduled to hit store shelves on January 13th. After the jump, check out the full (kind of amazing) DVD cover featuring a poor bloodied victim being dragged into the netherworld by our favorite wintery bigfoot. Read More...

Ashley Tisdale in 'High School Musical 3: Senior Year'I’ve never been too big a musical fan, or so I say. I’ve always thought that there is something unbelievable about them. Somehow, I find cars that defy the space-time continuum more realistic and relatable. Not really sure why. Equally, I feel the same about high school movies. They never really represent what high school was really like. So far, the nerd has not gotten the girl.

With this week’s release of "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," the first venture of the franchise to the big screen, Disney elevates it to status of other classic musical movies set in high school. Here are just a few to start off with to understand how the "High School Musical" series started scoring all ‘A’s.

FAME (1980)
It’s not so unbelievable that a bunch of kids at The New York City School for the Performing Arts might sporadically break out into song, taking over the streets in synchronized movement and break dancing atop taxi cabs. Read More...

Josh Brolin as George W. Bush in 'W'Hail to the chief, he’s the chief and he needs hailing…

Right now it’s hard to escape political coverage of the election at hand. It's consumed "Saturday Night Live" and it’s almost the sole topic of "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." And now this weekend we can’t get away from it in the movie theaters either, with the release of Oliver Stone’s "W," the film starring Josh Brolin as President George W. Bush that tells the story of how Dubya became our nation's commander in chief.

Now, after eight years of Bush, some people might not want to watch another two hours about him. To avoid overload, I dug up some other presidential choices for you. Maybe they wouldn’t have made for the best president to lead the free world, but they are damn entertaining to watch. Try and not be engrossed by their ability to hold down the White House.

Rob Brown as Ernie Davis in 'The Express'Originally I was going to talk about "Body of Lies" this week, but then a quite simple realization hit me. Kind of like a linebacker coming with full force, but in my brain. I went to Syracuse University; I must talk about "The Express."

"The Express" is the story of Ernie Davis, the Syracuse running back who became the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. Taking place just prior to and during the beginning stages of the civil rights movement, "The Express" tells of the struggle Ernie Davis faced while becoming a legend and activist. And aren’t all good sports movies about underdogs succeeding and overcoming adversity? Yes. Yes, they are. The only thing that might make them better is if they all took place at Syracuse. Unfortunately, that's not fair to other lovely sports establishments.

In my searches for other movies about Syracuse to grace you with, I found but three others. Neither "The Boys From Syracuse" (1940), or "The Syracuse Sap" (1930) take place in Syracuse, NY; and the third was "Big Daddy" (1999) wherein Adam Sandler mentions he went to Syracuse Law. So, to my dismay, I bring you some other films to catch before hopping on "The Express"… Read More...

I don't think I'm alone in saying British comedian Russell Brand was probably the stand-out star of the Judd Apatow-produced "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (although lead Jason Segal got a nice Muppet deal outta it). Virtually unknown in America prior to the film, in short order he became a sensation, eventually landing on-stage as host of the MTV Video Music Awards. With "Sarah Marshall" now hitting DVD and Blu-ray, check out the karaoke version of his character's hilarious music video below, along with his audition tape after the jump.

Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan in 'Eagle Eye'"They set me up." Seems to always be the case, doesn't it...never your fault that all government agencies are chasing you down? That's the case for Shia Labeouf and Michelle Monagham in this Friday's new release "Eagle Eye." As they leave a path of destruction, they attempt to prove their innocence. It usually helps though if they know what and who they are running from, but they don’t... Not the first time though. Here are some other tight binds that the fugitive runs but can’t hide while attempting to prove their innocence (and get out alive).

THE FUGITIVE (1993)
Simple enough for you? It says it in the title. A classic for the ages, Dr. Richard Kimball (Harrison Ford) is charged with killing his wife, and authorities don’t want to look farther than him for the murderer. Double tasked with avoiding the law and finding his wife’s killer, he is quite the busy man. Trekking around the country, running from U.S. Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) Kimball takes one hell of a road trip, getting tangled with some messy folks, but as our hero should, avenging his wife’s death in the end. Based on the TV show of the same title, this updated version garnered a lot more attention with its star power and by cramming an enormous amount of mind bending plot twists from the series into a two hour awesomefest.

Dwayne JohnsonIn an exclusive interview with MTV News about made-for-home-entertainment sequels to hits such as "Mean Girls" and "Naked Gun," Paramount Famous exec Louis Feola talked with us about what sort of plots some of these sequels will have.

"Road Trip"

"Well, I am in preproduction right now, so I have a script that I am comfortable with, hired my director and set up my operation," Feola said. " 'Road Trip 2' will take place against the world of beer pong, which I think is a very topical subject for our TV audience."

"Naked Gun"

“ ‘Naked Gun’ is about corruption in the city," Feola said. "A new [younger] police squad is being formed to battle the corruption." Read More...
