DVDs: Flying Turtles, Star Packages, Horny Vampires and Apocalyptic Survivors

It's DVD time. Here's a sampling of the new titles that came out in the past two weeks. And here's where you can boss me around and force me to write about one of them like you did with An Education, Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans, Doctor Zhivago (pending) and Fantastic Mr Fox. If you want everyone to vote your way, make your case in the comments.

• Dear John
  In which Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum romance me ... er each other! I meant each other! You can't fault me for fantasizing, can you?
• Extraordinary Measures
  In which Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser prove that they're very much still alive and available for casting should you require their services. Do you require their services?
  
• Gamera, The Giant Monster
  In which the giant turtle first takes flight. I remember loving this one on TV as a wee tyke but I'm not sure if it's the same one since there were quite a lot of those Japanese monster movies syndicated for television
  
  
  
• Invictus
  In which Clint Eastwood teaches us about racial harmony, rugby and speech-making.
  
• The Messenger
  In which Oren Moverman takes control after years of working on interesting movies as a screenwriter (I'm Not There, Jesus's Son)
• The Road
  In which our beloved Viggo plays Man who tries to keep Boy alive in this ultra bleak post-apocalyptic film based on the absurdly great novel by Cormac McCarthy. Read it immediately if you haven't. One of my ten favorite books of all time.
• The Spy Next Door
  In which something or other that's comical and action-packed happens to Jackie Chan. You know how he do.
• True Blood: The Complete Second Season
  In which Sookie, Bill, and Eric rescue the vampire mythology from Twilight's sparkly whiny angst and return it to the land of danger and eroticism and perversity. In short: exactly where it belongs.
  
• Valentine's Day
  In which CAA throw a huge party with all their repped talent, films it, and makes major bank.
  

What'll it be for you in your home theater? What'll it be for me?
