Welcome to this week’s edition of the New Release Tuesday Blog. It is a good release day for both DVD and HD/BD releases… and a forgettable day in regards to TV-on-DVD. What we lack in the quantity of notable releases is definitely made up for by the quality of titles hitting the streets today. Headlining the discs released today are separate 2-disc Collector’s and 3-disc Deluxe Editions of American Gangster (DVD & HD DVD), Michael Clayton (DVD & Blu-ray), In the Valley of Elah (DVD & Blu-ray), Rendition (DVD), Run Lola Run (Blu-ray) and the Unrated Edition of Lust, Caution (DVD).
