Never seen Spanglish. I've heard good and bad things about it though. Try it out and tell us.

Sideways
Adaptation, Comedy, Drama Rated: R Runtime: 2 hr 3 mins
A wine tasting road trip to salute Jack's (Thomas Hayden Church) final days as a bachelor careens woefully sideways as he and Miles (Paul Giamatti) hit the gas en route to mid-life crises. The comically mismatched pair, who share little more than their history and a heady blend of failed potential and fading youth, soon find themselves drowning in wine and women. Emerging from a haze of pinot noir, wistful yearnings and trepidation about the future, the two inevitably collide with reality

Sideways is a fucking trip. It's really great and Paul Giamatti and Thomas Hayden Church (recently cast as the new villain in Spiderman 3) were great. The DVD's got some great extra material and the deleted scenes are hilarious.

Elektra
Action, Adaptation Rated: PG-13 Runtime: 1hrs 37 mins
Not long after recovering from seemingly mortal wounds, Elektra (Jennifer Garner), the deadly female ninja, has severed all ties with the world, living only for her next assignment.

I've heard mixed reviews on Elektra. It's good for mindless action, but I thought it basically killed the Daredevil movie franchise. Somewhat like Catwoman, just bad.
Of course, there are other DVD's that are already out. The top 10 list of DVD rental and sales are
