New Releases, week of 12/1/12: Yanni edition
There are a couple big new releases this week as we get closer to the end of the year. The biggest of them is Men in Black III, which comes out Friday the 30th rather than today since it's special like that. Also out this week are ParaNorman, The Apparition, Step Up Revolution, and Lawless. The official SF Giants World Series video is out as well for all you Bay Area baseball fans and anyone who thinks the Dodgers suck serious butt. And, of course, Yanni on Blu-ray, just what you wanted for Christmas. (Yanni is cool and all, but he's got nothing on John Tesh.) Honestly, the only new release that may get play from my wallet is the Pogues 30th anniversary concert video. The re-release side is relatively quiet this week. The only thing I'm really interested in is Bill Plympton's restoration of The Flying House, a 1921 animated short by the great Winsor "Little Nemo in Slumberland" McCay. Visions of Ecstasy has me a bit curious -- it's a banned UK short featuring an obscene retelling of the ecstasy of St. Theresa. Maybe the most notable thing on the re-release front is the DVD cover to The Devil's Playground, a documentary on George W. Vanderbilt III trying to conquer the sea. This is not to be confused with the 2002 rumspringa documentary of the same name, though the image is a good metaphor for the inner spiritual struggle of Amish teenagers tempted by the world. The cover is in the gallery for your viewing pleasure. Check out the full list of releases after the cut, and get funky with The Tesh.

12:00 PM on 05.08.2013 New Releases, week of 5/11/13: Heading Upstream EditionFirst off, sorry this edition of New Releases is a day later than usual. Running behind with lots of things this week. Netflix Now will also be a day late. I owe you an ice cream.* The new releases this week include Jack Reac...
12:00 PM on 05.06.2013 Cleopatra getting 50th anniversary re-releasesCleopatra, the epic film known as much for its off screen issues as it was for its grandeur, is turning 50 this year and 20th Century Fox isn't about to miss out on the opportunity to celebrate it. They've remastered the...
12:00 PM on 04.30.2013 New Releases, week of 5/14/13: Big Bad Borg EditionWhile most folks will be interested in Silver Linings Playbook today (as it earned a bunch of awards and the like), I'll be trying to find myself a copy of Manborg. We've featured a trailer for the film on the site recently a...
12:00 PM on 04.23.2013 New Releases, week of 4/27/13: Gangsta's Paradise EditionThis week's biggest release is arguably the re-re-re-re-re-release of Jurassic Park (IN 3D!!!), oh, there's new stuff this week also? Well...then the biggest new release is probably Gangster Squad, which is ironic since Matt ...
8:00 AM on 04.16.2013 New Releases, week of 4/20/13: Djangowned EditionHowdy, folks, and welcome to this week's new releases, a sort of pre-Tribeca reprieve for me. This week boasts two genre deconstructions. The biggie is Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx (who, as Nick p...
10:00 AM on 04.09.2013 New Releases, week of 4/13/13: Historical Hot Dog EditionIt's another slow week on the DVD/Blu-ray release front. The most high-profile title is the disappointing Hyde Park on Hudson, which features Bill Murray as FDR. (More accurately, Bill Murray doing an impersonation of Cary Gr...
8:00 AM on 04.02.2013 New Releases, week of 4/6/13: All Cleaned Up EditionI know something major happened yesterday... Hmm... weird. Don't know what it was. Funny how that works. An oddly sparse week with new releases. The biggest thing by far is a re-release: The Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase O...
12:00 PM on 03.26.2013 New Releases, week of 3/30/13: Fightin' Abe EditionToday is the day that Steven Spielberg's Lincoln rolls onto DVD and Blu-ray. I think Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are my favorite U.S. Presidents. Both were supreme badasses in different ways. Lincoln steered the count...
11:00 AM on 03.19.2013 New Releases, week of 3/23/13: Les Little People EditionBack from warm and awful nice Austin to the cold, jerk-filled New York and what do I see? Lots of major releases out this week on DVD and Blu-ray. (Worst thing about Austin by the way: limited free wifi at the airport. Damn y...
