Weekend Showdown: Leo & Kate vs. Dave Matthews

Forget summer blockbusters. This week some pretty major things are hitting the shelves, and we're curious to know what you'll be spending the big bucks on—or maybe we're being a little dramatic and you'll only be throwing away about 20 bucks.
Either way, Tuesday's main competitors are the Leonardo DiCaprio-Kate Winslet reunion flick, Revolutionary Road, versus Dave Matthews Band's latest album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.
The long-awaited Titanic redux revolves around a 1950s couple desperate to escape the monotony of suburban life. In all seriousness, we were just eager to see the steamy love scenes between Jack and Rose—we mean Frank and April, right?
The flick fared well in theaters and was a mainstay throughout awards season. Unfortunately, Winslet is just too incredible for her own good and her Revolutionary Road role was overshadowed by her Oscar-winning turn in The Reader. Solution: Rent both and enjoy!
Dave Matthews Band is back with their first studio album in over four years, and from the sound of it they're still on top of their game. On a sad note, the title and cover art of the record are a tribute to DMB founding member and longtime saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, who unexpectedly lost his life in August 2008. The "GrooGrux King" reference in the title is a nickname the band gave to Moore, whose influence is said to be felt throughout the album.
Back to upbeat, if you're a DMB fanatic, the new disc will coincide with an upcoming summer tour. It never hurts to be familiar with the music when you check out a concert, so there's your incentive to go out and buy the record.
Whichever way to choose to go, it looks like a great week to support the new releases.
