What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday


Updated 01/16/08 4:57 PM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 2 comments

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, Good Luck Chuck and Mr. Woodcock are also now on DVD. So . . . there's that.

Extras: The Complete Series
This full series package is more of a "What to Amazon." Have you missed out on the Golden Globe-winning comedy series Extras? Well, here's your chance to check out the entire series — including the Christmas finale.

The show follows Andy (Ricky Gervais), a struggling actor whose aspirations greatly exceed his resume — and his talent. He and his buddy Maggie (Ashley Jensen) are just barely getting by as extras in big-name films, so the episodes always feature cameos by A-list stars willing to poke fun at Hollywood culture.

This complete series box set doesn't include any new special features that don't appear on the previously released DVDs of Seasons One and Two, but it is — so far — the only place to find the 84-minute series finale.

Another new release if you read more.

The Ten
This movie, by some of the former members of The State, is sometimes weird-funny and sometimes just weird-weird. Paul Rudd presents ten short stories, each having to do with a different one of the Ten Commandments. The supporting cast is great, from Adam Brody and Jessica Alba to Liev Schreiber and Gretchen Mol. It's not the most genius film, but if you ever wanted to see Winona Ryder get it on with a puppet, well, now you can.

Extra features include audio commentary, outtakes, interviews with the filmmakers (and Paul Rudd) and a making-of featurette.
