It's a Great Summer so far, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol has been plenty busy keeping track of movies in the theater but we thought we would catch up a little on some DVDs for those lazy days of summer or when there's just rain in the forecast. A spy, a little love, a plane trip, and even a party guy from beyond the grave to name just a few.

Non-Stop- Fighting for what's right when you're traveling can be a heavy proposition. Traveling a lot can wear you down but it's what Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) does. Being an air marshal can be boring and you always hope that it is. Bill's trip is about to get livened up when he receives a series of text messages that tell him the flight he's on might be in jeopardy unless $150 million is put in an offshore account. To make matters worse, the account is put in Bill's name and it makes him look like he's the one who wants to kill everybody. How will he stop the attack while staying out of trouble? Some other great DVDs with plane trips that can give a thrill are "Turbulence,""Snakes on a Plane (with Samuel Jackson), and "Air Force One" (starring Harrison Ford) in stores right now.
