The Week of 8.12.12

The Expendables 2, Grimm returns, take on the role of Death, and more.

Another week is upon us, and this one is packed with action thanks to the fully loaded cast of The Expendables 2 hitting theaters this Friday. Grimm returns to NBC on Monday night this week rather than it’s original Friday time slot. Keep your thumbs busy this Tuesday with Darksiders II where you get to play as Death itself, and Sleeping Dogs. Finally, on Blu-ray this week comes Jaws, The Royal Tenenbaums, and a few Jet Li films.

That’s your update for the week; be sure to check out the listings below to see what else is getting released and hopefully find something to fill that digital void in your life.
