This Week on DVD01/24/2012 – ‘Real Steel,’ ‘Paranormal Activity 3,’ ’50/50′ and ‘Punished’
Pick of the Week
In the near-future, the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech. Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when two-ton steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal on the underground circuit. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes are raised, against all odds, Charlie and Max get one last shot at a comeback.
