Bonus View Digest - July 22, 2011
Posted Fri Jul 22, 2011 at 12:50 PM PDT by Aaron PeckJuly is almost over. That means quite a few things in this neck of the woods. You may have noticed that our writer Aaron Peck hasn't been contributing a lot of posts to The Bonus View the past few days. That's because he's readying himself for a baby. Running around from doctors appointments, to car seat specialists, to diaper warehouses. It's been pretty crazy, but once everything settles back down he'll join the rest of our crack team to continue bringing you the best and latest in Blu-ray news, TV Recaps, and what's happening at a box office near you.

Top 5/Bottom 5: Natalie Portman
Posted Tue May 10, 2011 at 01:15 PM PDT by Aaron PeckWith her new sex comedy 'No Strings Attached' hitting Blu-ray today, I thought we could take a look back at Natalie Portman's illustrious carer.[/teaser]
Portman's fame seems to have skyrocketed over the past couple of years. In fact, it seems she's had a movie released almost monthly lately! She started early, making her first role one of her most memorable, starring as Mathilda in 'Leon: The Professional'. That movie has gone on to become a cult classic, beloved by many. But Portman didn't really achieve ultimate stardom until she starred in George Lucas' 'Star Wars' prequels as Queen Amidala. Those movies made her a household name. With two theatrical releases last year ('Black Swan' and 'Hesher') and three more this year ('Thor,' 'Your Highness,' and 'No Strings Attached') Portman shows no sign of slowing down.
