Busy times here at UpcomingDiscs. We’ve got our hands full with a grand total of 21(!) titles that release today — and who knows how many more flying in during the week — so keep checking our site for a barn full of reviews over the next week or so. But enough jibber jabber: let’s get to this week’s Round Up! CBS/Paramount is giving fans a triple of dose of NCIS with Season 12 of the original series, Season 6 of NCIS: Los Angeles, and Season 1 of NCIS: New Orleans. ABC/Disney’s offers magic and medicine with Once Upon a Time: Season 4 and Grey’s Anatomy: Season 11. Fox revives The Killing: Season 4, Lionsgate lets us live among The Royals: Season 1, Discovery Channel revs up for Fast N’ Loud: Speed Demons, and Entertainment One goes on patrol with Rookie Blue: Season 5, Volume One.

And we’re just getting started. Shout! Factory releases a quintet of titles: Nomads, Welcome Back, Kotter: The Final Season, The Rebel: Season 1, and a pair of double features with Easy Money/Men at Work and Metamorphosis/Beyond Darkness. Speaking of good things coming in fives: Mill Creek Entertainment will release the Hammer Film Collection and William Castle Horror Collection, each of which feature five spook-tastic films. Moguldom Studios offers a quick nip and tuck with plastic surgery docs Knifed Up and Bottoms Up, while Docurama explores sexual assault on college campuses with It Happened Here. Finally, MPI Home Video goes from 5 to 7, while A&E Home Video uncovers The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe.

RLJ Entertainment has Catching Faith out today and you can win a copy in our contest pages.

As always, don’t be shy about letting us know which of these titles you’re most excited to watch or read about.

We’d love to hear you tell us what you plan to add to your own video collection this week. We’re going to add a little incentive to hear from you. Once a month we’re going to give away a free DVD title from among the comments in our weekly Round-Up posts. You tell us what you’re interested in, and you might just get something free for sharing. The winners and their prizes will be announced the first week of every month right here in our Tuesday Round-Up post.

And one last reminder before signing off for the week: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

It’s great being back in the saddle for the latest Tuesday Round Up. Gino was kind enough to jump in these last couple of weeks, but I know there’s gonna be hell to pay for my having slacked off. That reminds me…keep an eye out for our review of Entertainment One’s Hell on Wheels: Season 4. There must be something in the air this week with TV shows and fourth seasons because Warner Bros. sent us Person of Interest: Season 4 and 2 Broke Girls: Season 4. The studio also gave us a chance to catch up with Hot Pursuit, one of its big-screen offerings.

We like to think of ourselves as a curious, adventurous staff, so keep your eyes peeled for our takes on Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters: Collection 13 and Shark Week: Dominating the Deep. On top of that, we’ll check into HBO’s The Knick: Season 1, take a peek behind the feathers with Cinedigm’s I Am Big Bird, strive to keep the peace during CBS/Paramount’s The Dovekeepers, and bundle up for Anchor Bay’s Northmen: A Viking Saga. (You can already hear more about Northmen by clicking here.) Last but not least is the debut of Shout! Factory’s Maude: Season 2.

As always, don’t be shy about letting us know which of these titles you’re most excited to watch or read about. And one last reminder before signing off for the week: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

An offbeat vampire comedy and a fresh batch of alien-related theories highlight the latest crop of Blu-ray and DVD releases. Keep an eye on the site this week to find out what we think of What We Do in the Shadows. You’ll also be able to unearth our take on Ancient Aliens: Season 7 – Volume 1. On top of that, we’ve got reviews scheduled for the documentary 72 %, and horror-comedy The Jokesters.

Other titles coming out this week include the Robert Duvall Western Wild Horses, and the Donnie Yen martial arts thriller Kung Fu Killer, along with season 2 of Looking, and season 7 of Robot Chicken. As always, we’d love to hear from you: which of this week’s releases are you most excited about? And since we have stuff flying into UpcomingDiscs headquarters throughout the week — like the copy of Ex-Machina that arrived after last week’s Tuesday Round Up — be sure to keep an eye on this post for updates.
