It’s another great week for DVD releases, with plenty star power from George Clooney, Renee Zelwegger, Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGreggor, Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of the Sex and the City crew. It’s a good time to catch up on some of the films that didn’t stay long in theaters, but are definitely worth a rental at home. Here’s the rundown:

Buy It: Sex and the City—For Carrie Bradshaw fans, the movie is worth watching over and over again just as the TV series is. Friends, fashion, fun, flings, what's not to like? The film finds our four favorite friends, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, in their current settings:  Miranda, Steve and Brady are living in Brooklyn; Carrie and Big are madly in love in Manhattan; Samantha has moved to Malibu to manage Smith's booming acting career; and Charlotte and Harry are happily hunkered down on Park Avenue with their adopted Chinese toddler. Great clothes, interior design, shopping and shoes serve as backgrounds for every woman's ultimate fantasy, which turns to every woman's ultimate nightmare, and transitions into what's ultimately right for our heroines. But this is a late night indulgence to watch after the kids are asleep. It’s rated R.

Rent It: Deception—This is a sexy, stylish and suspenseful thriller that didn’t stick around in theaters long—it only made about $.5 million. Still, this corporate heist film that involves an upscale sex club, a kidnapping, murder, and, of course, deceit, so there’s plenty here to keep you entertained. Hugh Jackman stars as the all-too-slick Wyatt Bose, and Ewan McGregor is an auditor who inadvertently winds up way over his head in crime and sex. Michelle Williams (Heath Ledger's ex), plays an accomplis and love interest. Look for masterful cinematography from Dante Spinotti. Another grown up film, this too is rated R.

Rent It: Leatherheads--This is a new film out this week that that at least the older kids can watch. The ever-charming George Clooney's latest directing and starring effort may not quite have the snap of the vintage screwball comedies he's mimicking, but the film is great fun all the same. Set back in the days when the National Football League as we know it was but a spark in Tom Landry's eye, a charismatic, over-the-hill pro footballer by the name of Dodge Connelly (Clooney) recruits a college superstar and ersatz war hero (The Office's John Krasinski) to save the flagging Duluth Bulldogs, and the entire professional football system. But will fast talking Chicago Tribune reporter Lexie Littleton (Renee Zellweger) spoil Dodge's plans? Don't forget to take time to enjoy Randy Newman's rousing 20's score while you’re watching this film that’s rated PG-13.

Skip It: Run Fat Boy Run -- Dennis, an unmotivated chubby guy (Simon Pegg -- Hot Fuzz), leaves his beautiful, professional, pregnant bride (Thandie Newton) at the altar. Five years later he learns that she's about to marry a rich American who will take a more active role than he ever did in raising their son, and the lazy, unemployed guy decides to redeem himself by running in a London Nike marathon. Granted, Simon Pegg is endearing and 'Friends' David Schwimmer shows some comedic skill, it’s hard to get past the warped premise and the offensive title. It’s rated PG-13.

Buy It: The Godfather—The Coppola Restoration Gift Set—This set includes all three Godfather films and retails for a whopping $69.99, but if you’re a true fan of some of two of the best movies every made (Godfather Part III doesn’t really count), it could well be the last version of these films you’ll ever have to buy. It also makes a great gift for any film lover. Not only has the film been restored, but special features, created by Kim Aubry, founder of Zoetrope Aubry Productions, explore the complexities of the restoration process and provide new insights and perspectives about how the film almost didn’t come to pass as we know it. The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn’t relates the unlikely events, intrigue, allegiances and luck that put together the unknown director with the "unwanted" cast and contains interviews with most of the living players and many of the films’ admirers. Other featurettes include "When the shooting stopped" and "Godfather World", which takes a look at The Godfather’s influence on popular culture today. Each film includes a commentary by Coppola.
