DVD shuffle: 04/18/06

Not a whole lot going on in DVD Land this week, with only one major release (“Hostel“) hitting store shelves. Other titles making their way into stores include special editions of “Moonstruck” and “Event Horizon,” as well as the award-nominated “Mrs. Henderson Presents” and the indie transgender flick “Breakfast on Pluto.” Next week looks to fair much better, with five major releases, five reissues, a handful of straight-to-DVD features and even some nice collections.

Box Office Roundup: Boo

Based on Sunday’s estimates:

1) Scary Movie 4: $41 million (first week)
They were smart to include the scariest thing we saw in the last year: Tom Cruise on Oprah.
2) Ice Age: The Meltdown: $20 million ($147.1 million, third week)
In fairness to Denis Leary, the next installment should be “Ice Age: Diego Gets Peckish.”
3) The Benchwarmers: $10 million ($35.9 million, second week)
We’d take this moment to make fun of the ridiculous wig David Spade wears in this movie, but then we remember: he’s dating Heather Locklear. Damn.
4) The Wild: $9.5 million (first week)
When our guy was assigned to cover this, he said, “Just take my ‘Madagascar’ review and replace the title.”
5) Take the Lead: $6.7 million ($22.5 million, second week)
Never underestimate the power of dance. Or something.

If Forrest Gump were Dirk Diggler, I think it would go a little something like this…

Thankfully, no hack stand-up comedian has worked that hypothetical imitation into their routine, but, in what can probably be called the opening shot in the barrage of press he’ll be doing for “The DaVinci Code,” Tom Hanks did an interview for German newspaper Bild, in which he selected his top five films that he had nothing to do with. I don’t want to spoil the whole list for you…particularly since Hanks offers at least one legitimately surprising selection…but the title of this posting does, admittedly, have a bit of a spoiler in it.

Is it just me…

…or does “RV” look like a serious contender for the worst movie of 2006?

How do you combine Robin Williams with director Barry Sonnenfeld (“Get Shorty,” “Men In Black,” “The Addams Family”) and come up with what appears to be a lame-ass “National Lampoon’s Wilderness Vacation”…? It looks like slapstick crap…and, given that the online trailer for the film includes a scene where the RV’s sewage line is backed up, I apparently mean that literally. Ugh, ugh, ugh. If this is the kind of comedy you’re doing, Robin, go back to drama…
