DVD Rundown

The Day After Tomorrow (PG-13)
Starring: Deenis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Sela Ward
Director: Roland Emmerich

Global Warming takes a megadose of methamphetamine and the world tilts or turns upside down that dinosaurs race southward as the ice age pushes through New York, trapping my wife's favorite Jake Gyllenhaal in the process. Fear not, daddy Dennis Quaid won't go the way of the DoDo bird. In fact, he'll come to rescue you. Sounds like a lot of cheap, low-brow fun!

Stateside (R)
Starring: Rachael Leigh Cook, Jonathan Tucker, Joe Mantegna, and Agnes BruknerDirector: Reverge Anselmo

A marine falls in love with a woman while home on leave and he must choose to between his sense of duty and their fledgling romance. The only problem is she just might be totally bonkers. Reminds me of one of my ex-girlfriends, but with Rachael Leigh Cook heading the cast, I know what I'd choose... Beyonce's path: "Got me so crazy in love."

Raising Helen (PG-13)
Starring: Kate Hudson, John Corbett, and Joan Cusack
Director: Garry Marshall

A career-minded gal gets motherhood thrust upon her sister and brother-in-law make her the guardian of their three kiddos. Time to learn that there are more important things in life than a career and money.

Arnold Schwarzenegger struggles to secure that one all-too-hard to find toy of the season. CATV
