There are a handful of good movies hitting stores this week. Christmas has come early for Trekkies with the release of Star Trek. J.J.

New on DVD: Week of November 10
There are a handful of decent Blu-ray movies releasing this week. I thought The Ugly Truth was a pretty good movie.

I thought Butler's sense of humor in the film is what I enjoyed most. Another movie I'm sure people will look forward to is Disney-Pixar's Up. Last week's DVD sales continue to prove that people love animated movies, and Up should...
