This page is all about upcoming DVD releases, DVDs that we are currently featuring, as well as some of the more “exclusive” areas of our DVD section.  As you scroll down, you will find info about featured genres, exclusive DVDs, Criterion Collection, and our staff picks for the month.

Hoodlums carries DVDs from all genres, all eras, all types… new and old too.  We also special order for free!  Bring in your old DVDs and trade for new ones.

New Release DVDs

We believe one of the keys to being a knowledgeable DVD collector is having excellent information about upcoming releases.  You gotta know what, when, and how many versions are on the way to know what to buy.

However, just like with CDs, there are so many new releases every week, that it wouldn’t make sense for us to try and list them all.  Especially not when there are professionals that do it for us.

These fine movie sites are the best in the business.  If you see something you like, give us a call.  If we have it, we can hold it for you.  If we don’t, we will gladly special order it for you for no extra charge.

The reality is that what we do best is used DVDs, but we do have a large selection of new DVDs (especially the classic stuff) and we can track down new DVDs better than anyone in the business.

The best sites for DVD and Movie information

VideoETA. This DVD new release page is awesome… and trust me, when you have to update a DVD NR board in the store for ten years, you learn.  It allows you to search forward or backward by release week, and it covers every type of genre: from the good little indie films to the over-hyped corporate baloney.

IMBD. The Internet Movie Data Base is great.  You probably knew that.  The DVD NR list isn’t as good as Video ETA, but the movie info is really fantastic.  The actor/director/gaffer directory is even better.

AllMovie. We use AllMusic a lot, so naturally we switch to the movie side quite a bit too.  Mainly I use it to answer “Who the the guy who played…” customer questions – and it almost never fails.

Video Detective. This site claims to have more movie trailers than anyone else.  I have been getting their email (although I am finding these RSS feeds pretty nifty these days) and it’s pretty amusing, but with three kids at home I don’t get much “trailer” time.  However, if you want a trailer of an upcoming DVD, these guys have a bunch.
