All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to my picks below, you can also add
Priceless starring Audrey Tautou and
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr.

Interestingly, neither a
BFF movie nor a stoner action-comedy could dethrone
The Dark Knight in its fourth weekend. Having already
surpassed the $400 million mark in domestic ticket sales, the superhero movie pulled in another $26 million over the weekend.
According to Variety, the movie
has now taken the place of Shrek 2 to "become the third highest domestic grosser of all time with a cume of $441.5 million.

The female friendship movie is a totally different animal than the romantic comedy, and yet they often get lumped together under one big "chick flick" banner. Recent Summers have been heavy on the bromances (see
Superbad,
Knocked Up,
Step Brothers,
Pineapple Express, etc.) so I thought it would be fun to take a moment to remember some of the best (girl-mances? lady-mances?) girlfriend movies in honor of
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 opening this week.

At one point in the second installment of the stories surrounding girls who have pants and will travel, an exasperated Carmen (America Ferrera) says something like, "Can we just please focus on the pants?!" And yet, that's the thing I find most refreshing about this sequel: there's not really a focus on the pants. The fact that Carmen has to remind her friends to think about the pants is a good sign in this case; the focus should be on these girls and their friendships, not two tubes of faded, magic denim.

Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases
hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:
When geeks are right: I chose that intro phrase because that's what one of the
coolest songs from The Faint's new album,
Fasciinatiion, is all about.
