It’s March, so that means it’s the season for all the big Winter films to hit home video. This week brings us some pictures that were hoped to be a bit bigger than they were – like The Adventures of Tintin and Young Adult - and some of the big prestige pictures of the year – like The Descendants and My Week with Marilyn. As for reissues, the American Pie films are hitting Blu-ray in anticipation of the fourth film in that series, and Martin Scorsese‘s most controversial film is getting the 1080p treatment.

2011 was the year of the indie. The majority of adaptations and blockbusters all fell completely flat, and numerous big studio dramas were missing that something special.

Check out the full list…

Marilyn Monroe is back in theaters again, this time played by the lovely and brave Michelle Williams, who much like Monroe always seems to be up for pushing herself and taking on a challenge. My Week with Marilyn is not your typical Monroe bio-film, though they throw in a few homages to her iconic dance numbers and songs, this film is really about pulling back the curtain and getting to know what really made Monroe an icon. It wasn’t her curves, it was that mysterious something else that gave her that edge, that sent directors mad, but ultimately made her one of the biggest stars, ever…

A while ago we posted the first official photo of Michelle Williams as the title character in the film My Week With Marilyn. Even though the actress isn’t a spitting image she has enough of a resemblance to pull off the part. Today we’ve moved on to the film’s supporting cast that includes Harry Potter alum Emma Watson.

Emma Watson is wasting no time with her post-Harry Potter career. The 20 year old is currently enrolled in Brown University and is still acting on the side. The latest film to catch her eye is entitled My Week with Marilyn. It’s directed by Simon Curtis, and is a period piece that centers on, you guessed it Marilyn Monroe. But this isn’t a biopic, it’s an ensemble that has a lot more to offer than its title star.
