This week, I'll be reviewing the animated "Planet 51," about a happy planet invaded by an alien -- an American astronaut, "The Blind Side," with Sandra Bullock in the true story of a poor but talented black football player adopted by a wealthy white family, and "New Moon," the second in the series based on Stephanie Meyer's sensationally popular Twilight series. The other two will be published Thursday night but unfortunately "New Moon" won't be up until late on Friday, so stay tuned.
