While this week may be lacking in quality recent titles, it more than makes up for it with quality classic titles. Also, there are a lot of love stories due this Tuesday before the Valentine’s Day weekend…

Title	DVD Release(s)	Blu-Ray Release(s)
Action
National Treasure		Amazon.com
	Blaine: This was surprisingly enjoyable. Also, it’s an action movie that you can watch with an eight year old; language and violence are toned down without actually feeling like they’re toned down. This is about solving the puzzles before the bad guys, not about killing them first.
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets		Amazon.com
	Blaine: I still haven’t seen this one, but I’d like to based on the original.
Ong Bak 3	One disc DVD only, one disc DVD + digital copy, two disc DVD + digital copy	Blu-ray
	Alex: This is Tony Jaa’s last film before he decided to retire from acting and become a monk.
The River Wild		Amazon.com
Wild Target	Amazon.com	Amazon.com

	Comes with an art box that can hold parts one and two, plus a flag for the Zuellni Academy City (the city where the heroes are based)

	A bit more about the setting – the series is based in a post apocalyptic future where humanity is forced to survive in domed cities, and fend off attacks from mutant monsters called Contaminoids.

Beverly Hillbillies (Special Edition)	Amazon.com
	Blaine: These are seemingly random episodes from the early seasons of the series.

	Blaine: This is not the entertaining mockumentary, but some Jeremy London vehicle I’ve never heard of before.
Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, Vol. 6	Amazon.com

The Guardian: Final Season	Amazon.com,
Reality
Project Runway: Season Eight	Amazon.com
Romance
Beauty and the Briefcase	Amazon.com	Amazon.com
Enchanted		Amazon.com
	Blaine: This is a surprisingly great romantic comedy. I have two huge complaints about the genre in general: predictability, and the habit of starting the movie with at least one romantic partner in a relationship already, followed by subsequent infidelity. This movie avoids both traps, and it’s loaded with references to classic Disney films for the eagle-eyed film geek to find.
The Romantics	Amazon.com
You Again	Amazon.com	Amazon.com
Science Fiction
Barb Wire		Amazon.com
Doctor Who: The Mutants (Story 63)	Amazon.com
Doctor Who: The Movie	Amazon.com
	Blaine: This was Paul McGann’s entire run as the Doctor, ending the original series to be following by the Russell T. Davies relaunch. Alex: Though McGann would follow this up with a not-unsubstancial run of audio dramas with Big Finish.

Superhero
The Super Hero Squad Show: Quest For The Infinity Sword Volume Three	Amazon.com

I Spit on Your Grave	Original edition, unrated edition	Original edition, unrated edition

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “in a week that offers new Columbo, my pick will always be Columbo.” Alex says, “As the T-Shirt says, you never forget your first Doctor, and my first exposure to Doctor Who was the TV movie, and that’s my pick of the week.”
