The Oscar season onslaught has begun! The big movies from fall 2012 are starting to hit DVD, and we’re picking them up. The first big name in our batch is Flight, the Robert Zemeckis film that has Denzel Washington in contention for Best Actor. Other notables include documentary nominee Detropia and Frankenweenie, Tim Burton’s return to animation. But don’t forget other new notable titles, including Ken Burns’s The Dust Bowl, Best Picture winner The Sting, a collection of Shakespeare performances, and the third season of Downton Abbey (watch it before it finishes airing on PBS!).
Read on for a full list of what we’ve added this month.
