It's a good week in terms of quality as the biggest hit and the best movie of the year hits the home market this week. However, it appears that release might have scared away the competition. Of course, that release is Toy Story 3, and the 4-Disc Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack, which is not only the Pick of the Week, it might be the Pick of the Year.

It's the first week of the month, and like usual, it's a busy, busy week.
But while there are plenty of DVDs coming out tomorrow, the list if first-run releases is weak and the recent limited releases didn't really pick up the slack (although Wordplay - Buy from Amazon was the best of that list).
This means when it came to DVD Pick of the Week we have to go back, sometimes way back.
The most recent is Grosse Pointe - The Complete Series - Buy from Amazon while fellow TV on DVD release, Police Squad! The Complete Series - Buy from Amazon, is also in up there.
For movies we have The Transformers - The Movie - 20th Anniversary Special Edition - Buy from Amazon and the two box sets James Bond - Ultimate Collection - Volume 1 and Volume 2.
I'm not going to choose just one, but I'm thinking of not picking up the Bond sets until next month when I can get the whole collection at once.

Not a particularly good week for limited releases, which is strange since award season should be heating up. But there is only one film being released this weekend with overall positive reviews and none seem destined for Oscar glory. On the other hand, both Good Night and Good Luck and Shopgirl have major expansions while Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is among the other Oscar contenders earning a smaller such expansion.
