What's New on TV, Netflix Streaming, Digital, and DVD/Blu-ray This Week: December 29 - January 4



At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.




New on DVD and Blu-ray



There's not a whole lot coming out on DVD and Blu-ray this week that's worth your hard-earned ducats, but here are two that might be.



"The Equalizer"

This actioner with Denzel Washington and Chloë Grace Moretz got mixed reviews from critics, but if you love Washington in butt-kicking mode - especially with "Training Day" director Antoine Fuqua behind the wheel - it's is worth a look.



"Kelly & Cal"

Juliette Lewis stars as a new mother trying to cope with settling down from her punk rock past. She strikes up a friendship with a teenage neighbor named Cal that becomes a lifeline for them both. Jonny Weston ("Taken 3," "Chasing Mavericks") co-stars.

New on Netflix



"Friends"

This sitcom about a gaggle of goofy New Yorkers in their twenties has been in syndication forever, but now you can watch whichever episode you want, when you want to watch it. FREEDOM!



"Election"

Alexander Payne's satire pits a straight-A student named Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) against the high school teacher who doesn't want her to be class president (Matthew Broderick).



"Mean Girls"

Tina Fey wrote the screenplay for this awesomely quotable comedy about one teen girl's foray into popularity. Lindsay Lohan stars as a teen at a new school who inadvertently falls in with a clique known as The Plastics - until she gets on the wrong side of chief mean girl Regina George (Rachel McAdams) by falling for Regina's ex BF.



New Video on Demand, Rental Streaming, and Digital Only



"Fury" (iTunes)

David Ayer's WWII action drama stars Brad Pitt as an Army sergeant leading a tank crew on a dangerous mission in Germany. Shia LaBeouf, Michael Peña, and Jon Bernthal co-star as his exhausted, war-scarred crew, with Logan Lerman on board as a fresh-faced newbie who has to get up to speed on the double.



"Mozart In The Jungle Season 1" (Amazon Prime)

Who knew playing in a symphony could get so racy? Gael García Bernal stars as the new maestro Rodrigo, with the wonderful Bernadette Peters as the head of the board of directors, Malcolm McDowell as Rodrigo's predecessor, Saffron Burrows as a successful cellist, and Lola Kirke as new oboist who's at the center of the story.



"Downton Abbey Season 5" (iTunes, Amazon Prime)

Catch up with the Crawleys as they head into the 1920's with a roar. Things are getting a little loose in this PBS series, as the Crawleys and their crew start getting with the times. The sexy times!
