DVD or Blu-ray? Redbox or Netflix? Streaming? And hardest of all: Justin Timberlake or Ryan Gosling? Whatever your poison, here's the breakdown on all the week's new releases. Moviefone's Picks of the Week "Drive" What's It About? Ryan Gosling stars as a stuntman-by-day, getaway-driver-by-night who gets caught up in a violent con-job involving his beautiful neighbor and her young son. See It Because: It's an original idea with good acting performances and unique direction -- which is becoming more and more of a rarity in Hollywood these days.

Also Available on: Redbox DVD & Blu-ray | Amazon Instant Video "In Time" What's It About? Justin Timberlake flexes his action hero muscles in...

Drive Would you look at that, my #1 movie from 2011 is on DVD and Blu-ray and it is arriving just as quiet as a church mouse. Does anyone know this is hitting shelves today? Have you seen any marketing? FilmDistrict bungled this release in an impressive fashion, but then again, how do you sell a dark, anti-hero film to today's Add audiences?

Nevertheless, this is a must buy if you ask me. I can't wait to own it myself.

 

To Kill a Mockingbird (50th Anniversary Edition) Now this one I have seen advertising for. Go figure. And I've also had the pleasure of watching it and it is stunning.
