It's like the week of the
Western with that genre making appearances in nearly every category, Special Edition, Box Sets, TV on DVD. But while there are certainly some that were in the running for DVD Pick of the Week, (
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid -
2-Disc Collector's Edition, for instance), it was a limited release that is the DVD Pick of the Week. And that film is
Sarah Silverman - Jesus is Magic -
Buy from Amazon, but I fully admit my pro-
Sarah Silverman bias has something to do with this decision.

The weekend after Oscars should be a tough time to release a film with the Oscar winners trying to expand to take advantage of the Oscar Bounce. But with only two or three of the
winners in any position to make a movie this weekend, the new limited releases have a chance to make an impact of their own.

During the past week promotional websites for several movies were launched and some older ones added additional content. This week's winner was one of last week's best sites,
She's the Man -
Official Site, which added a lot of content this week including some old stuff that was off site for previous weeks.

This Friday marks the release of the daring and provocative The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, and it is the first film featured in our new weekly box office prediction contest.
The winner will receive a T-shirt, poster, and a pair of underwear.
(We have a picture of a model wearing said T-shirt and underwear, which we would post, but it would probably melt the server.)
Since that film is taking the limited release route, we will be basing this contest on The Hills Have Eyes, which is also opening this Friday.
All you have to do to enter is predict the opening 3-day weekend (Friday to Sunday) gross for the movie.
The winner will be whoever's prediction is closest to the actual result without going over.
Entries must be received by 10am, Pacific Time on Friday to be eligible, so don't delay!
