Yes, this is probably the earliest this column has ever been posted. I don’t know if I’ll have time to go online again before Monday, so I’m doing it now.

First, the genre releases:

• Beauty and the Beast – Season One: I never watched this, but it’s had fantastic reviews.
• Masters of Horror – Pelts
• Naruto Vol. 9 – The Scroll’s Secret
• Thrills! Chills! Spills! The Ultimate Adventure Collection: This five disk set has a number of classic and not-so-classic titles.
• Zoom – Academy for Superheroes

Now, the non-genre releases:

• All in the Family – Season Six
• Ballykissangel – Complete Series Five
• Bicycle Thieves – Criterion Collection: This is a classic of Italian cinema. What seems like a small theft to one can ruin the life of another.
• The Departed
• The Gloria Swanson Collection: The silent starlet gets her own box set.
• The Golden Girls – The Seventh and Final Season
• Green For Danger – Criterion Collection
• Half Nelson
• The Hills – Complete First Season
• Hustle – Season Two
• Infamous
• Infernal Affairs Trilogy: This inspired The Departed.
• Man About Town
• Marie Antoinette
• Men Behaving Badly – Complete Series
• Mr. Moto Collection Vol. 2: Includes “Mr. Moto’s Gamble,” “Mr. Moto in Danger Island,” “Mr. Moto Takes a Vacation,” and “Mr. Moto’s Last Warning.”
• Paul Robeson: Portraits of the Artist – Criterion Collection: A four disk set about the first African American movie star.
• Police Story 2 (Special Collector’s Edition)
• The Quiet
• School For Scoundrels
• Smiles and Spectacles – The Harold Lloyd Treasury

Finally, the pick of the week. I’ve got to go with The Bicycle Thieves. Some people can walk away relatively unscathed from having a bicycle stolen, while others cannot. This is a nice way to reveal the value of thinking through any actions that impact other people.
