What are your favorite TV stars doing when they're not making television magic? They're making movie mediocrity! The stars of Heroes, The Mentalist, Law & Order, Parenthood and Weeds are all on DVD this week, in movies of varying degrees of quality.

Christmas must be two months away, because the holiday films are starting to hit stores. Also the orphan movies, the Woody Allen movies and the movies John Malkovich did for a paycheck. Meerrrry Christmas!

One of the highest-grossing movies ever comes out on DVD today, and is already destined to make more money on DVD than it would in a sane world. Everything else is small potatoes, but even a small potato is better for you than a big box of chili fries.

Are we having fun yet? After a trip to the DVD aisle, we'll be having a lot more fun, because this is the week of fun movie releases. Maybe not good movies, but "good" and "fun" don't always go hand-in-hand. Also, "clean."

The question isn't "What DVDs are you going to buy?" The question is, "What DVDs aren't you going to buy?" We have a few suggestions.

Two hipsters take a road trip while a young girl takes a long walk in a strange land. Monsters fight aliens, Superman teams up with Batman, dogs and cats living together... Mass hysteria! Welcome to Tuesday.

Depending on how you feel about security guards, Lyme disease, Matthew McConaughey, claymation, Avatar and the French, this is either a very good week for DVDs or the worst week ever.

Scary monsters. Super creeps. Sienna Miller. All are represented in this week's new movies on DVD, as wolverines, wolfmen, zombies and overrated actresses stalk the moors. And by moors, we mean Best Buy.

Angela Lansbury, Jason Statham and Valentino Garavani walk into a bar. The bar explodes. End of joke. Start of the weirdest week in movies on DVD ever.

You know, considering all of the big TV releases that came out today, you'd think there'd be more big movies out, but it's just not a big day for movie releases. However, there are a few smaller films out today worth checking out, as well as a movie-related concert film and a couple of really nice collections. Also, another Bring It On, but those apparently come out every two weeks like clockwork.
