Weekend Recap: Paul Newman, Crowe's Robin Hood, 'Dark Knight' DVD

It was a memorable and bittersweet weekend. The big story, and it really kind of overshadowed the economy and the presidential debates on Saturday, was the passing of the legendary Paul Newman. We'll present a special Top Five list in honor of Newman later today, and if you're anything like me, you blocked out a couple of hours this weekend to watch your favorite Newman performance. Mine will always be Cool Hand Luke, but there are about a dozen landmark performances I could've watched in my collection on Saturday. Here's the rundown of all of our top stories from this past weekend: Paul Newman: 1925 - 2008 Keira Knightley is Done with Pirates The new Spirit trailer shows some promise Russell Crowe will play Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham Scarlett Johansson is the marryin' kind Check out new pictures from the set of Alice in Wonderland The Dark Knight gets a DVD release date And because the news cycle has more or less returned to normal, there were plenty of other headlines making news over the past few days. You might want to check some of these out, as well: Lethal Weapon 5?

Russell Crowe's got the accent for Robin Hood (or the sheriff), though he could stand to loose a little weight...
