It's a less-than-stellar DVD Tuesday this week, with a pair of underwhelming comedies, the Jessica Alba/Dane Cook rom-com Good Luck Chuck and the Billy Bob Thornton flop Mr. Woodcock making their debuts on home video. Also arriving on DVD shelves are The Ten, Raising Flagg and He Was a Quiet Man.
Our recommendation for this week is the Blu-ray version of Good Luck Chuck. It may not make you laugh, but at least you'll be treated to some HD Jessica Alba (or Dane Cook, if that's your thing).

With all three of this weekend's major releases, The Brave One, Mr. Woodcock and Dragon Wars, receiving mediocre reviews, folks heading to the movies this weekend might be best advised to skip the Cineplex entirely and hit up the local arthouse theater instead.
A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:
The Brave One 
"The director tries to distract you with lots of fancy shots, but the script...I don't know what's worse, the storyline or the dialogue." [Full Review]
Mr. Woodcock 
"The movie's first ten minutes, in which coach Billy Bob viciously berates his meek pupils, are intermittently hilarious, but it's all downhill from there." [Full Review]
In the Valley of Elah 
"It's heavy, it's sad, and flaws aside, I liked it...Tommy Lee Jones's performance is quiet, intense, and stunning."
