Fans always love Bond news. But we unfortunately have a sad announcement this week: Joseph Wiseman, who played Dr. No in the film-of-the-same-name, passed away on Monday at age 91. So pop open your Dom Perignon '55 (or '53 if you prefer) and celebrate one of the great Bond villains of all-time.

But there are more important things over here at the DVD Clinic, like home video numbers. Check out the Top 10 for the week of October 5th to the 11th…


"Come here often?"

The monsters and aliens teamed up once again to take the top spot for the second consecutive week, beating out Fox's Bones and the Harold Ramis "comedy" Year One, which took the #3 spot with $5.6 million. In at #4 is X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which surpasses the $60 million mark, enough to make it one of the 10 highest-grossing Blu-rays ever. In less exciting news, something called My Life in Ruins comes in at #5, just barely edging out the 70th anniversary edition of The Wizard of Oz. Meanwhile, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past drops three positions, Hannah Montana reemerges after a two week absence, and FX's Sons of Anarchy makes a ten-spot cameo after being MIA since its August debut.

Out on DVD and Blu-ray this week are: Sam Raimi's return to the horror-comedy Drag Me to Hell (BD/DVD); Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds rom-com The Proposal (BD/DVD); the Criterion Collection release of Monsoon Wedding (BD/DVD); Blu-ray releases of The Craft, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Natural Born Killers, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense, and Wolf; and seasons of Fox's Futurama (DVD).
