Today sees the release of

on DVD and Blu-ray. This is something that you have to get into your collection. I know some of you may be skeptical about my recommending to you a Star Wars product of any kind (only because you know I love it all) but this show is really a cut above and I’m sure you’ll like it. And by the last episode, if you’re not jonesing for Season Two (which is even better), my guess is that there’s something wrong with you.

The release from today that I’ve been enjoying the most that I’ve received a review copy of is Zorro. Disney is releasing today tin boxsets of the complete Guy Williams Zorro, The Complete First Season and The Complete Second Season.

The next most important release today is the Blu-ray 50th Anniversary edition of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest. This film is a masterpiece and if you haven’t seen it before, this is the perfect time. Cary Grant, James Mason, Eva Marie Saint, and Martin Landau fill out this all-star, dynamite cast and it’s really Hitchcock at his best.

After that, we have Rocky: The Undisputed Collection on Blu-ray. That’s all 6 movies in the series. Of which you’ll probably only watch three of them more than once… four tops…

As for the geeks, the little seen Ruby-Spears Superman comes out today in it’s entirety. This was a Superman cartoon that was made in the late 80s, coinciding with Superman’s 50th birthday and lasted only one season. Marv Wolfman acted as story editor on this series.

Fraggle Rock: Complete Series Collection comes out. This excites me since Henson productions are usually of top quality and I loved this series as a kid.

Criterion has a couple of releases today, most notably Howards End, the award-winning Merchant/Ivory production.

On the documentary front, Food, Inc. is coming out. I’m told it covers a lot of the same ground as Killer at Large…

Oh, and that G.I. Joe movie I didn’t see came out…
