WWE Studios releases their latest crime thriller, Dead Man Down this week featuring WWE superstar Wade Barrett as well as Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Dominic Cooper and Terrance Howard. Victor (Farrell) and Beatrice (Rapace) both desire revenge and form a partnership to bring down Terrance Howard as an villainous kingpin. Dead Man Down is released as a Blu-Ray, DVD, UltraViolet combo pack from Sony Pictures.

Tina Fey returns to the big screen as an admissions officer, who takes a liking to an awkward prodigious student who's trying to get into Princeton, but isn't what the college is looking for in Admission. Paul Rudd and Wallace Shawn join Fey in this college-bound comedy distributed by Universal Studios. Admission is released Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital Copy, UltraViolet combo pack.

The final release of the week is the first season of Nickelodeon's hit animated show The Legend of Korra.

  2. I want to get Legend of Korra. Hopefully Avatar: The Last Airbender on Blu-Ray isn't too far behind.
