Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the much-anticipated and only mildly disappointing return of Harrison Ford's iconic action hero, leads off this week's crop of new DVD releases. We recommend the Blu-ray 2-Disc Special Edition, featuring a gaggle of special features and behind-the-scenes featurettes -- all in sparkling HD. (Don't look for alternate endings or deleted scenes, though; Senor Spielbergo has never been fond of such things.) There are also several exclusive editions, featuring unique items like giant, creepy crystal skull replicas (pictured left), available at retail chains Circuit City, Best Buy, Kmart, Sears, and Trans-World.
Also debuting today on DVD: War Inc., John Cusack's sequel to Grosse Pointe Blank political satire of corporate-managed warfare; Stuck, Stuart Gordon's quirky horror-comedy about a man trapped in a car windshield; and the animated hit The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A Veggie Tales Movie.

Not ready to give yourself over to the estrogen-fest that is Sex and the City? And you don't want to have your pants scared off by The Strangers, either? Perhaps this weekend is time for some handy-dandy indie movie counterprogramming.
Allow us to suggest the awesome thriller/horror, Stuck, about a nurse (Mena Suvari) who accidentally hits a homeless man (Stephen Rea) with her car and then drives it home to let him die in her garage so she won't get in trouble.
Intrigued? Learn more in our Exclusive Interview With Stephen Rea and our Review of Stuck. You'll be glad you did.
Next Showing: Stuck opens in select theaters this Friday.
