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 the titles below, you can also now rent the
2008 Kids' Choice Award winner for Best Movie:
Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Who knew Stephen King and John Mellencamp had anything in common, much less a desire to
write a Broadway musical together? Not I, but apparently it's true, and the two men are collaborating on a musical theater project, scheduled to debut in April 2009, titled Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.
The story follows the legend that grows out of the tragic death of two brothers and a girl in the fictional town of Lake Belle Reve, Miss.

In the days leading up until the
Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees in the various visual categories. This week, I'll be looking at the nominees for
Best Costume Design. We've already taken a look at
the costumes in Across the Universe,
Atonement and
La Vie en Rose.

In the days leading up to the
Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees in the various visual categories. This week, I've been looking at the nominees for Best Art Direction, which encompasses the entire look and feel of a film from the scenery to the lighting. Check out my galleries of production stills from
Ridley Scott's darkly evocative American Gangster, the lovely
Atonement and the fantastical world portrayed in
The Golden Compass.

The dramatically scaled-back
Golden Globe Awards spread things around Sunday night, with
Atonement,
Sweeney Todd,
No Country for Old Men, and
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly each taking home two awards.
Atonement and Sweeney Todd nabbed the night's biggest prizes, for the Best Dramatic Picture and Best Musical or Comedy Picture; Atonement also won for Best Original Score, while Johnny Depp won the Best Actor: Comedy or Musical prize. Diving Bell took home awards for Best Foreign Language Picture and Best Director for Julian Schnabel.
