The Wrestler on DVD today!

Not sure which DVD to pull off the new release shelf? Need a new Blu-ray to show off in 1080p? Or maybe you're looking through the new releases on Netflix and don't know what to add to your queue?  

This week you'll find the entire new-release rack filled with Oscar-nominated films and performances including, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and many more. Make sure you rent those before you try the prequel and sequel at the bottom of this list:

The Wrestler - Buy-it - Even if you hate the ever-eccentric Mickey Rourke, never once ordered a Wrestlemania pay-per-view, and believe Marisa Tomei's talent and beauty is utterly overrated, you will love this film!

Frost/Nixon - Rent-it - A film with acting performances akin to Mike Tyson's power, Barack Obama's rhetoric and Nastia Liukin's grace.

The Burrowers - Rent-it - Finally an original twist in the horror genre.

Notorious - Rent-it - If you’re interested in everything Biggie, not for just the average movie-goer.

Laid To Rest - Skip-it - If you're looking for something scary, try The Burrowers first, and something else second.

Mulligans - Skip-it - Buy the book instead.

Personal Effects - Skip-it - Ashton Kutcher and Michelle Pfeiffer respectably embrace "the space between loss and love."

America Betrayed - Skip-it - A terribly unpatriotic attempt at old-fashioned eye-opening patriotism.

Into the Blue 2: The Reef - Skip-it - Even if you are one the rare fans of the first Into the Blue (ummhmm me ummhmmm cough cough).

Caprica - Skip-it - Unless you are a die-hard Battlestar Galactica fan.
