Week in Review: Castings Aplenty, 'Showgirls 2', 'Captain America'

It seems that there are waves of similar news items each week. It could be a bunch of great trailers, then the next week is all business dealings, and then you'll get a pack of odd celebrity news, people getting arrested. This week, it's almost all casting. Some of these are great, some are real head scratchers. Beyond those stories, though, we did find a couple intriguing headlines. For example, just a few months after Wal-Mart decided emphasizing DVDs in its stores was no longer a practical way to make money, the retail giant has announced it's buying a company that streams HD movies directly to your TV. The times they are a-changin'. Get to it: Ian McShane for Blackbeard in Pirates 4 Seriously? They might cast Jim from The Office as Captain America? Seriously? They're making a Speedy Gonzales movie...with George Lopez? Wal-Mart buys Vudu Another Die Hard for Bruce Willis? Best worst thing you'll see all week: The unrated NSFW trailer for Showgirls 2 Superman gets a new writer Poll: What's the best buddy cop movie?

Interesting information. So how do I get these DVD movies now? Still in the wal-mart stores? That is great that they have movies in full HD. The picture is clearer in HD.
