So today is Valentine's day so why not cozy up on the sofa with your girlfriend or boyfriend, dim the lights and watch a movie.  With a bevy of new films released on DVD and Blu-ray, why not pick up one of the new films out in stores.  Why not watch Take Shelter, Nude Nuns with Big Guns or even The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence?  Huh? Doesn't that sound like a beautiful date night?  Tell me what film you're excited to pick up this week in the comments below.  I desperately want to see Take Shelter and Human Centipede 2.

What is there to say about this weeks DVD releases?  Not much except for Drive, which was my favorite film of 2011.  So as you can tell, I am so excited to finally buy this film to have my family endure the pain of watching Ryan Gosling stare into Carey Mulligan's eyes for fifteen minutes at a time.  We have a ton of films being released this week but here are the ones that you should care about. 

Drive

Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston.  Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn

After you read up on who received a nomination at this year's Oscar's, you may or may not want to leave your house to pick up a movie or two.  None of the films released today, however, were not nominated for any award at this year's ceremony, except a technical award for Real Steel.  Because I have a really busy day in front of me, there will not be a convenient list this week but I will make sure that one will be appointed next week.

50/50

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick.  Directed by Jonathan Levine

A young man struggles with fight to beat cancer in this comedy/drama based on a true story.

It's a slow week this week for DVDs.  Today is the day for Hollywood to dump out the worst films of last year on DVD and Blu-ray like Abduction and Bucky Larson.  But despite this, The Ides of March makes its way onto DVD, so it's not all bad.  Lets get this started with my quick hits:

The Ides of March
