Welcome back! Just to recap for any new members, each week I will post what is due out that week (or at least most of the main stream releases, as anywhere from 100-300 DVDs are released each week). I'll then spotlight a DVD with a review or news about a new one coming out. Finally, I'll post a DVD easter egg or two each week. Many of you might already know of them, but they are fun things to find "hidden" on your DVDs.

Time to shock people and get this done while the sun is still up...Lots of releases this week with some intereseting re-releases (Don't Be a Menace, From the Earth to the Moon, Mallrats, The Outsiders, etc.).

DVD releases due out Tuesday, September 20th:

Thanks for the feedback on the Emile Griffith...I'm going to see if I can rent that one. I also want to rent Shackles, because that is supposed to be really good also.

I'm unfortunately giving in and buying Mallrats and Outsiders. I say unfortunately, because I already have them both, but the sound is supposed to be much better this time around. I think From the Earth to the Moon is supposed to also have better sound as well.
