Star Wars always gets top billing in my little corner of the world, which is why Star Wars: The Clone Wars – A Galaxy Divided is seated here, firmly as the king of the hill. This DVD contains the first four episodes of the much acclaimed Cartoon Network series which consists of the Yoda-centric episode and the Malevolence Saga. This is a DVD to give to the kids, not one for the series collectors. This is a cheap disc with four episodes. Lucasfilm has been extremely forthcoming with the knowledge that a full season box set is only a couple of months away, both on Blu-ray and DVD with all the frills. So, there is to be no whining about their double-dipping. You know the score for the get go. If you’ve hesitated to get into the series, this is your chance to try it out. Snag it on Netflix or buy it, you won’t regret it.

Next we have the supplement to this month’s biggest film release, The Watchmen, Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood. You can read the review that Clang! Boom! Steam! and I wrote of this at Big Shiny Robot!.

Next we have the latest installment of the James Bond trilogy, Quantum of Solace out on both DVD and Blu-ray. You can read my thoughts about it here. Coming out today are also possibly three of the worst James Bond movies (the worst, For Your Eyes Only is already out, so they couldn’t pull a perfect score) come out today. They are, in no particular order of shame, Never Say Never Again (which barely counts as a Bond film anyway), Moonraker, and The World is Not Enough. I’m only hard on these movies because I love the franchise so damned much and I want to point out that these four vintage Bond films are the worst and the new one, Quantum of Solace, was a middling Bond film at best. To balance the inherent poor quality of these movies, Amazon decided to release an exclusive Steelbook Blu-ray edition of the best James Bond film, Goldfinger. So, buy that one for sure.

Some more good news for geeks today, The Venture Bros.: Season Three hits shelves and this is certainly a must-own collection.

There are a lot of classic films getting new releases today, too. First, we’ll start with Hitchcock’s fourth collaboration with Cary Grant, To Catch a Thief . Grace Kelly is a dream in this movie (as with most movies she was in.) Neil Simon’s Odd Couple gets a new release today, this movie is always good for a laugh. Criterion also put out a Blu-ray of Truffaut’s The 400 Blows and a normal DVD version of his film, The Last Metro.

I think we covered a lot of ground today. Is there anything I missed?
