Okay, so it's after Christmas and you didn't get that DVD you wanted. Did you get a gift certif? Awesome, then take that puppy down to your mega-store and pick up one of these DVDs or if they'll let you trade in that Gosh-awful Aunt
Marge sweater for some movie eye-candy you can enjoy with BFFs, then all the better. Or hey, school isn't back in session yet so go rent some DVDs for a last holiday party-hearty! Here are some currently available possibilities....
From DreamWorks Home Entertainment
Eagle Eye: 2-Disc Special Edition
Get your Shia LaBeouf action fix watching the hottie play Jerry Shaw, an ordinary, under-financed young guy working at a copy store when his hot-shot twin bro dies. Soon after seeing his estranged family at the funeral, Jerry returns home to have a huge, life-altering freak out! His usually empty bank account is suddenly beyond flush and his apartment is bursting with up-scale military weapons! A call tells him he's been "activated" and he'd better run quick like a super-charged bunny or the FBI will get him. Huh?
The FBI does haul Jerry in but he is mysteriously rescued. Meanwhile, ordinary (but hot) young mom Rachel (Michelle Monaghan) also gets the weird "activated" message and is told to cooperate or her young son, away on a school trip, will die. The fates (or some black ops agency) toss Jerry and Rachel together in a hot Porsche and they are on the run in a high tech, manipulated, controlled action-fest adventure to complete a mystery mission that they feel ill-equipped to survive.
