Since this is Tuesday, it must be time for more new DVDs!

This Tuesday, another prolific distributor unleashes a mighty crop, and a few studios put out two-fers. Also, a super-secret surprise bonus — a western! Well, not so secret, really, just less-than-common.

I'm also introducing a new feature this week — semi-random recommendations. Each week, I'll be marking five specific DVDs with an asterisk that looks something like this: * When you see that asterisk, translate it to mean, "Phillip sez Check It Out!" But be warned, I'll be marking some discs I haven't even seen. Like Love, Actually. Still, it comes recommended to me, so I'm passing it on. Check It Out!

Enough chit-chat, let's get to the discs!
