Where to find an instant, easy to navigate list of new releases

Are you, like me, sometimes baffled or disappointed in the NEW RELEASES category on Netflix?
It doesn't seem to be laid out properly and, quite often appears to breed endless re-cycling of really not-so- new titles.

Do you say to to yourself "There must be more new content than this!"? And it may be hiding there in the mystical Netflix user interface experience, but I easily give up in the quest.

AND, I am looking for new movies, not newly released episodes of crappy tv shows, or classic films from the 40's on DVD for the first time. Not that there's anything wrong with that kind of search....
easy now.

So I started googling DVD release sites. OMG! 400 titles per month, including Japanese kids DVDs, workout videos on DVD, more new releases of ancient movies! Too much crap to wade thru.

Where, I wondered,could I find a simple site that updated MOVIE DVD RELEASES only? And by the week, month, and year? Someplace I could go to remind myself of all the great recent movies that I had yet to see...

THE MOVIE INSIDER!

Just click on the month and voila, a list of new movie releases, broken down to the week. Missed a week in February? Hit February and go.

You will not believe all the great new releases that you've missed. AND they are all available on Netflix. Just not so's you'd know it...
