It's a week full of action as films that blew up the screen like Act of Valor and John Carter meet up with campy fun like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and the thriller Safe House. One of the best weeks for multiple action releases in some time.John Carter - Rated PG-13 (Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins)
Didn't set the box office on fire earlier this year, but it's worth checking out on Blu-ray now, if for no other reason than the rich visuals created by Andrew Stanton.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island - Rated PG (Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine)
The film never takes itself too seriously and that's what makes it a half way decent journey. Dwayne Johnson is just so likable.
