If you are like me you need some downtime in the summer. All the swim team, park and vacation activities wear me out! What better way to relax in the A/C than with some new DVD and Blu-ray releases, right in the comfort of your own home!

Avatar has to be number 1 on that list.  If you didn’t catch it in theaters, you NEED to catch it at home.  All the hype is well deserved!  I enjoyed the mix of amazing graphics and real life drama in a timeless story.  Buying the blu-ray edition?  Be aware it does not play on some.  Check the internet for information.  I have read that this is a problem with many players

Valentine’s Day…the starriest cast you may ever see sparkles in a hilarious and heartwarming romcom from the director of Pretty Woman and The Princess Diaries. Stories crisscross, collide and boomerang in this look at a day in the life of love. There’s a proposal. Flowers that didn’t get sent. A big fat secret that’s finally told.  I loved it and it’s one I will watch again.

Caddyshack’s 30th anniversary edition!  Who doesn’t remember the dancing groudhogs?  Bill Murray is priceless and the cast deliver your daily dose of humor.  I would consider it one of Chevy Chase’s very best.  What is country club life really like?  This movie will not answer that but will provide a humorous look at life on the 18 holes.

Take a break from the heat!!  Enjoy a movie on a summer evening!
