‘The Croods’ is anything but rudimentary. Would you believe it’s a contemporary, albeit prehistoric, take on a classic allegory? It’s also fun for the entire family.
‘Olympus Has Fallen’ has decent action and a charismatic hero, but the script is lightweight and empty, making the movie quite forgettable.
‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ comes to home video with a very special bonus for fans of the film. But does this justify the purchase price with an expanded edition promised for later this year?
Movie on DVD and Blu-ray March 19 include ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ ‘Zero Dark Thirty,’ ‘This is 40,’ ‘Bachelorette,’ ‘Rust and Bone,’ ‘Price Check,’ ‘Badlands,’ ‘Porky’s,’ ‘Gorgo,’ and ‘Nanook of the North,’ with ‘Les Misérables’ released on March 22.
The home video release of ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ arrives this week. If you’re interested in watching a beloved story get both mercilessly hacked to pieces and inflated at the same time, look no further than this gem.

‘The Call’ begins as a decent, mildly clever thriller but falls apart in the last twenty minutes.
Burt Wonderstone’s act may have grown stale in Vegas, but ‘The Incredible Burt Wonderstone’ ultimately charms its audience.
