DVD and Blu-ray Releases for April 12th, 2011 - The Numbers

Muay Thai Fighter - Buy from Amazon
Martial arts movies are common these days and even ones from an emerging market like Thailand are not rare anymore. Can this film stand out with so much direct competition? Check out our review for my opinion.

Needless Collection 2 - Buy from Amazon: DVD or Blu-ray
I don't know who came up with the name for this show, but it wasn't someone in the marketing department.

Nick Jr.: Nick En Francais - Various Releases
A huge number of Nick Jr. shows are being released in Canada with a French-language track. Most of these I've previously reviewed, but one was new to me. To find out which shows and which DVDs were including, check out our review.

Plastic Planet - Buy from Amazon
I'm looking forward to reviewing this film, but I've been having trouble downloading a screener from the press site. (My internet access has been spotty. It's not a problem when doing my regular work, as it hangs for a few second and then goes back to normal. But downloading a large file is nearly impossible.) Hopefully it's not too late to grab a screener.

Summer in Genoa - Buy from Amazon
Despite having an impressive cast that includes Colin Firth and Catherine Keener, this film sat on a studio shelf for three years before coming out direct-to-DVD. That's a bad sign, but is it a bad movie? Won't know till the screener arrives.

Third Reich: Rise & Fall - Buy from Amazon
People used to joke that it was more accurate to call the History Channel the Hitler Channel instead. Obviously World War II was one of the most important events of the 20th century, but how many specials can they make before they are just repeating themselves?

Tracy & Hepburn the Definitive Collection - Buy from Amazon
This seven-film collection has amazing movies and better extras than most catalog titles have; however, they are also double-dips, so it might be cheaper to buy them separately than to pick up the box set.

Whitney Cummings: Money Shot - Buy from Amazon
I reviewed this stand-up comic's work as part of the Douchbags & Donuts DVD, but this is her first solo release. Is it worth checking out? Won't know till the screener arrives.
