Awards season is in full swing, so if you haven't caught the leading candidate for Best Picture, you'd better get moving. Well, not technically: in fact, you don't even have to leave the couch now that"The Social Network"(PG-13, $28.96) is out on DVD.David Fincher's account ofFacebook's founding has a host of memorable performances, butJesse Eisenberg's turn asMark Zuckerbergis arguably the best of the year.
From top-tier to bottom feeders, this is also your week to watch 2010's most memorable B-movie,"Piranha"(R, $28.95). Winking direction and a jokey script—not to mention the barely-clad cast—should make this one popular in frat houses across the land. And it would make a great double-bill with"TheFreebie"(R, $29.99), in whichDax Shepardplays a guy whose wife gives him one night off, to do absolutely anything he wants.
Then again, the more mature among you may prefer the French comedy"Heartbreaker"(NR, $24.98), about the romance between an undercover agent and an engaged heiress (Vanessa Paradis, still best known here asJohnny Depp's better half).
Or you could reach into the vaults, for the 20th anniversary extended edition of"Dances With Wolves"(PG-13, $29.99), or a newly remastered director's cut ofSergio Leone's gangster epic"Once Upon aTimeinAmerica"( R, $19.98).
Also worth seeking out is the"Raging Bull: 30th Anniversary Edition"(R, $29.99), a Blu-ray/DVD combo that includes shot-by-shot comparisons of actorRobert De Niroand boxerJake LaMotta. And the"Green Hornet"75th anniversary serials set (NR, $29.99) is timed to coincide with today's release of theSeth Rogenupdate. (Let's just say you'll find some differences.)
Small-screen choices also run the gamut, from the"Comedy CentralRoast ofDavid Hasselhoff"(NR, $16.99) to the fifth season of theHistory Channel's thought-provoking series,"The Universe"(NR, $29.95).
The newBetty Whitesitcom"Hot in Cleveland"(NR, $26.98) is worth watching, and this week also brings"Greek: Chapter Five-The Complete Third Season"(NR, $44.99), and the fourth year of"Rules of Engagement"(NR, $29.95).
Finally, anyone excited aboutMTV's new remake"Skins"may want to check out the original first. The fourth volume of the ultra-controversialBBCseries by the same name (NR, $39.98) is available now, just in time to stoke interest in America's edition.
