• New DVD Releases: Walk Hard, There Will Be Blood and more

  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.

• By the Numbers: Reviews of this Weekend's New Releases

  Christmas comes early in Hollywood. Vince Vaughn's comedy Fred Claus is the first of this year's Holiday-themed releases to arrive at the Cineplex, squaring off against Robert Redford's political flick Lions for Lambs. The Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men debuts in select theaters, carrying with it heaps of Oscar buzz.

  A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:   

  Fred Claus  
  "Sure, it's sappy and sentimental, but so is Christmas. I only wish it were funnier." [Full Review] 

   

  Lions for Lambs 
  "A dull disappointment...not only did I find the end unsatisfying, it actually made me angry." [Full Review]

   

  No Country for Old Men 
  "The Coens return to their darker, earlier days and Brolin and Bardem deliver terrific performances." [Full Review]
