In this edition of the New Release Tuesday blog, we get a good look into this weeks top releases. There are a few bigger releases, such as Inside Man and Prison Break, as well as a couple of new HD offerings. We also get a number of other mildly notable releases that might float your boat. On to the lists…

Top Film Releases

There is one big release hitting the streets today, but there are a few other interesting titles to mention. Inside Man, directed…by Spike Lee and sporting a star-studded cast of Denzel Washington, Jody Foster & Clive Owen should be the top buy of the week. Brick will be loved by many and should also be a great pick-up, but dark films like this are not for everyone. We also get Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia in The Lost City, a collection of Jayne Mansfield films, and a teenie-bopper flick in Bring It On - All Or Nothing. Here are the few titles that I thought were worth making mention of this week…

• Inside Man
• Brick
• The Lost City
• Jayne Mansfield Collection (The Girl Can’t Help It / The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw / Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?)
• Bring It On - All Or Nothing

Top TV on DVD Releases

Some great and highly anticipated titles are making their way to the world of TV–on-DVD today. The popular Prison Break gets a first season treatment, The Wire is back for a third installment, the bikini’s are out on Laguna Beach, Will Smith returns in the fourth season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the first season of the Logo network’s Noah’s Arc debuts on DVD. Here are today’s releases that are worth checking out…

• Prison Break - Season One
• The Wire - The Complete Third Season
• Laguna Beach - The Complete Second Season
• The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - The Complete Fourth Season

Top HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Releases

Not too much going on in the world of HD today. There are only two HD-DVD titles hitting the streets, but both are great films (Ray & Animal House). As a recap, here is all that this week has to offer…
