Tuesday, April 8
There's truly something for everyone on this week's DVD Tuesday. Daniel Day-Lewis gives an Oscar-winning performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's oil epic There Will Be Blood; John C. Reilly plays a rags-to-riches rock star in the biopic parody Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story; Samuel L. Jackson plays a boxing legend turned homeless man in Resurrecting the Champ; a Scottish child befriends the Loch Ness monster in The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep; Ron Livingston plays a Vietnam vet who becomes a crusader for people with disabilities in Music Within; and Wes Bentley stalks Rachel Nichols inside a parking garage in P2.
Our pick for the week is the 2-Disc Special Edition of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, featuring an eye-opening documentary about one of the film's scene-stealing stars.

Several new movies are lining up this weekend to try and knock Superbad from its perch atop the box office rankings. Do any of them have what it takes to stop the latest Judd Apatow juggernaut?
A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:
The Nanny Diaries 
"Stalled out in mediocre-land...unless you're a fan of the book, I'd say it's a rental." [Full Review]
Resurrecting the Champ 
"Nothing can wrench this movie from the grip of a saccharine, formulaic script full of plattitudes and divided allegiances." [Full Review]
Illegal Tender 
"If you've ever wondered what would happen if Martin Scorsese remade Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, this movie is for you." [Full Review]
The Hottest State
"Perfectly fine indie fare, but the plot and the characters seem a little more self-indulgently autobiographical than compelling." [Full Review]
Also opening this weekend: War, Mr. Bean's Holiday, September Dawn, Right at Your Door.
