Kind of a slow week for DVD releases this week. ... Actually, there are 40 releases on this week's list, including 10 spotlight reviews, but compared to the last several weeks, it feels slow. (I didn't even have to split the column into two parts.) There are a few releases that are definitely worth picking up, but none that really rise to the level of a DVD Pick of the Week. Watchman - The Complete Motion Comic on DVD or Blu-ray and Wonder Woman on DVD, DVD + Digital Copy, or Blu-ray come the closest, but neither have enough extras to make it over the top.

One of the most unpredictable releases for the month comes out next week as Star Wars: The Clone Wars makes its debut on Friday. It is also this week's target film and in order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going over, will win a copy of Stargate - Continuum on DVD. In addition, we have a trio of 'cloned' prizes, or prizes that have been featured in previous contests. These include Exes and Ohs - Season One - DVD, Run's House - Season One & Two on DVD, and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila - Season One on DVD.
Meanwhile, whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going under, will also win a copy of Stargate - Continuum on DVD, as well as the three 'cloned' prizes mentioned above: Exes and Ohs - Season One - DVD, Run's House - Season One & Two on DVD, and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila - Season One on DVD.
Entries must be received by 10 a.m., Pacific Time on Friday to be eligible, so don't delay!

Another slow week without a single first run release that was a must have, or even a contender for DVD Pick of the Week. Granted, many will find Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay worth picking up, but it is not a top-notch release. There are also a couple of special edition releases that are easily worth picking up: Dark City - Director's Cut - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray and WarGames - 25th Anniversary Edition. But the best of the best, and the DVD Pick of the Week is Stargate - Continuum - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray. But I am also giving an honorable mention to Two Fat Ladies - Buy from Amazon. On a side note, it is another week where we had to split the list into two due to the size. Part I can be found here.
