[Editor's Note: Tuesday Video Alert is a weekly column announcing "notable" titles fresh to DVD and/or Blu-ray, sometimes as reissues, and in every region under the sun.]

Essential:

Once Upon a Time in the West [Paramount Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, Region 1]: "Sergio Leone made a fistful of great films, but none better than 1968's ode to the fading American frontier, Once Upon a Time in the West." Nick Schager

L'Age d'Or [BFI Video, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 2]: "If the Marquis de Sade had lived anytime during the 20th century, perhaps he would have made a film like L'Age d'Or." Ed Gonzalez

The Cat O' Nine Tails [Blue Underground, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1]: "Structurally and thematically, Dario Argento's The Cat O' Nine Tails is an improvement over The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, even if the film's non-linear convolutions of plot may purposefully distract." E.G.

Stanley Kubrick: Limited Edition Collection [Warner Home Video, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1].

American Graffiti [Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, Region 1].

Matinee [Carlotta Films, Blu-ray, Region 2].

Netflix It:

Kaboom [MPI Home Video, DVD, Region 1]: "Strange is the new normal in Gregg Araki's splashy and squishy Kaboom, a screwball clusterfuck that finds the writer-director returning to portraits of youthful, orgasmocentric ensembles." Fernando F. Croce

True Blood: The Complete Third Season [HBO Home Entertainment, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1]: "True Blood thrives on cliffhanger endings and sharply swerving storylines, so it's hard to talk about plot without taking away some of the thrill." Aaron Riccio

Legend [Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, Region 1]: "If you love '80s relics, none come more gorgeously artificial than Ridley Scott's faerie-tale Legend." E.G.

Drive Angry [Summit Home Entertainment, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1]: "Drive Angry thrives on its flagrantly juvenile premise, something so dopey that it could have been taken from a bad, err, maybe just shelved, Russ Meyer movie." Simon Abrams

Biutiful [Lionsgate Home Entertainment, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1]: "At its best, Biutiful, essentially a miserablist's version of Kurosawa's Ikiru, is a reflection on emotional and spiritual inheritance and the decay of the human body." E.G.

Undertow [Wolve Video, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1]: "Undertow isn't the first Peruvian film to feature a character coming to terms with his homosexuality (Francisco Lombardi's 1998 coming-of-age tale Don't Tell Anyone got there 11 years earlier), but it likely stands as the country's first gay ghost story." Andrew Schenker

Queen to Play [Zeitgeist Films, DVD, Region 1]: "Queen to Play misrepresents the difficulties of women with no semi-marketable talents at freeing themselves from their own domestic grind." A.S.

Pi [Bac Films, Blu-ray, Region 2].

Grand Prix [Warner Home Video, Blu-ray, Region 1].

Big Jake [Paramount Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, Region 1].

A Man Called Horse [Paramount Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, Region 1].

Rio Lobo [Paramount Home Entertainment, Blu-ray, Region 1].

Future Coasters:

Passion Play [Image Entertainment, DVD/Blu-ray, Region 1]: "The women in Passion Play are either natural-born strippers willing to do anything for 20 bucks or fragile circumstantial strippers just one heroic guy away from snapping out of the sleazy life." Diego Costa
