This week brings plenty of films that will assuredly want to make their way into your collection, or at the very least into your Netflix queue. The question, as it is every week, which ones are worthy? Allow me to step in and assist you in my own little way. I have perused the lists of new releases (hundreds come out each week) and picked out the ones most interesting to me, so if your tastes are anything like mine, this could prove useful. If not, well, give it a read anyway, perhaps you'll be surprised.

Beowulf. This past November, director Robert Zemeckis brought his latest experiment in animation to the big screen, in IMAX 3D, no less. The film was spectacular. It was big, explosive, dramatic, epic, and just delivered a good time for all. Was it the best animation of the year? No. It was also nowhere near the best film of the year. However, it was a fun adaptation of the classic poem and it was a good example of a director embracing a technology and attempting to push the medium forward. The film is being released in theatrical and unrated varieties — make sure you get the one you want!

NFL Super Bowl XLII: New York Giants. Who in their right mind (outside of New York anyway) would have thought this DVD would be released this year? It was an amazing year for Big Blue that culminated with the spoiling of the Patriots' would-be perfect season. For Giants fans and Patriots haters, this will be a DVD to savor.

Justice League: The New Frontier. I have been looking forward to this ever since I heard about it, which was not all that long ago. This animated film is based on the graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and chronicles the formation of the Justice League. The animation looks great, and the cast is strong and includes Neil Patrick Harris, Lucy Lawless, David Boreanaz, and Jeremy Sisto. This is being released in single and two-disk editions.

The Darjeeling Limited. The latest from Wes Anderson is a curiosity. It plays better in small chunks than it does as a complete film. It features great use of music and has a unique, distinctive look. In the end I just found it to be a little too self-aware and perhaps a touch pretentious. Still, I can see myself adding this to my collection; while not great, it certainly is compelling.
