If today is Tuesday, there must be new DVDs!
For recent theatrical movies, there are Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Timeline, while television vaults offer up Babylon 5 and Highlander: The Series, but there are many, many more DVDs that debut today that are less well-known, and some hidden gems for sure. As a little experiment, I'll mark all of the DVDs released by a particularly prolific studio, Brentwood, with an asterisk. Make of that what you will.

Would this list (and future lists) be more useful if it included the studio releasing each one? I highlighted "Brentwood" releases more or less as a "know what you're getting" label, but perhaps other studios would be useful to highlight as well?

Thanks Phillip, excellent. With Al doing new CD releases, we are still looking for people to do the list of new books and new theatrical movies each week, and we will have new releases down.

That Babylon 5 is tempting, but I always thought it went downhill after the writers ended the Shadow War prematurely thanks to the shows fate being in limbo during that season.

It is true that season five suffered compared to the rest. Season four crammed in most of the planned highlights for season four, leaving less for season five to cover.
But I would say that it began slowly and ended very well. Besides, the first four seasons are somewhat incomplete without the fifth! Sure, it's $350, but it's "worth it," somehow.
