| #1 Posted on 30.6.09 1148.59 | Instant Rating: 8.51 | Sorry I'm late...I unwittingly fell asleep for like a zillion hours.
This Tuesday - well, okay, TODAY we have 254 new DVDs and 20 new Blu-rays. Some of these may already be out of stock because I am so late! You probably were not interested in any of those!
As usual, more info can be found by hovering, clicking on IMDb or tv.com icons, clicking on movie website icons and/or company links, or you can turn the computer off and go outside. It's (still) (mostly) a free country.
PICK OF THE WEEK Parker Lewis Can't Lose: The Complete First Season (The W at Amazon) (FOX, 1990-1) I can't believe it's finally on DVD, either. More info and previews at Shout! Factory (shoutfactorystore.com) Kim really likes this show, but I didn't make it her pick of the week. See below for THAT...
MOVIES OF THE WEEK
THE BIG ONES
Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience (Single-Disc Edition) (2009) NOT in 3D on DVD...sorry Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience (Two-Disc Extended Edition + Digital Copy) Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience (Blu-ray/DVD Combo w/ BD Live + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]
Princess Protection Program (Disney, 2008) Like there wasn't already enough for the tweens to ingest with the Jonasfest above. Are there any big movies for adults this week? Why, yes...

MOVIE FOR KIM OF THE WEEK 12 Rounds (Rated + Unrated) (2009) John Cena - "Extreme Cut" contains Theatrical AND Unrated versions 12 Rounds [Blu-ray] I haven't yet caught up on WWE television (and the stuff I acquired has the commercials stripped out), so I have no idea if WWE's even been blanketing our airwaves with ads for this or if they're just trying to quietly forget it ever existed...?
The Betrayed (2008) Melissa George
You (2009) Melora Hardin (also directed) (7/1)
Pedro (2008) More info available at Wolfe (wolfevideo.com)
The Education of Charlie Banks (2007) Jesse Eisenberg IS, Jason Ritter 
MOST UNNECESSARY SEQUEL OF THE WEEK Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li (Canada/India/USA/Japan, 2009) Kristen Kreuk IS - but IMDb reviewers have been (surprise) quite unkind thus far Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (Three-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]
