Newhart: The Complete First Season. The second sitcom named after Bob Newhart has its first season released before the first series is completely available. Whichever one you choose, it is hard to go wrong with Bob Newhart.

30 Days of Night. Here is a movie that I really and truly wanted to love but just couldn't. The story played out terribly. Seriously, when I sat in the theater there was a moment that made me seriously suspect that a reel had been skipped. No such luck. Still, there were some great moments, some impressive blood, and a strong performance from Danny Huston as the lead vampire. It is at least worth a rental for you vampire fans. I am surprised not to see an unrated release of this. Could a double-dip be in the offing?

Death at a Funeral. Here is a fun film, if only for Alan Tudyk's performance. I kid. The film, in true British style, mines the funny from an event that is supposed to be anything but. It starts off a little bit slow, but it really builds to a madcap finish.

The Smurfs: Season One, Volume One. Well, after reading the title I am sure you have already made up your minds whether or not you want this. Take it from me, as a fan of Saturday morning cartoons, this is a nice set (I already have a copy). The little blue guys - and gal - have aged well.

The Last Emperor: Criterion Collection. I have never seen this film, and a Criterion release would seem to be the perfect opportunity to do so, however there is a big "but". The aspect ratio has been modified from 2.35:1 to 2:1. Apparently, the DP of the film does not like the 2.35:1 ratio for home viewing, saying it is better in 2:1. I am not sure I agree with this, so if you are a proponent of OAR, like I am, you may want to think twice about picking this up.

Highlander: The Source. All you Highlander fans get ready to spit some venom. This was originally being made for a theatrical release, then something happened and production was shut down with an unfinished cut made. It made its debut on the Sci-Fi Channel and proved to not be such a good movie. I remember having it on in the background and thought it was all right, but nothing special.
