Valkyrie

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to my selections below you can also add Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Fanboys to your queue.

Valkyrie
In Bryan Singer's Valkyrie, Tom Cruise stars as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, a German officer who leads the plot to kill Hitler. The story is one of those "little known" historical gems that's full of intrigue and political coups. A fantastic cast (including Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, and Tom Wilkinson) surrounds Cruise, lending some serious acting cred to the production.

Special features include audio commentary by Tom Cruise, Bryan Singer and co-writer/producer Christopher McQuarrie, and The Valkyrie Legacy Documentary.

Katie Holmes wowed the audience arriving at Tom Cruise's Japan premiere of Valkyrie today with gorgeous long hair! Katie has been wearing her chic short haircut for a little under two years, and it's such a surprise to see her with long locks again. Recently, it appeared that Katie was starting to grow it out again after her shortest look last Fall, but here she looks just fantastic —vibrant and young, smiling like the Katie we fell in love with. While we may miss her mother-daughter matching dos with Suri, the 2-year-old is a bit young for extensions. The Cruises arrived in Japan over the weekend, and we know at least one way Katie has been spending her time. So what do you think — are you loving the return of her long hair?

Tom Cruise headed to a photo call for Valkyrie in Tokyo earlier today after arriving in Japan with the girls on Sunday. Suri and Katie are getting their fill of international travels as Tom continues to plug the movie, but their next trip may be a bit more low-key. Apparently the Cruises are planning to take a big camping trip once they're back in the states, which sounds like a fun break from their jet-setting lifestyle.

Katie Holmes was a gorgeous splash of color on Tom's arm at the premiere of Valkyrie in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last night. After a relaxing few days including some visits to the beach and shopping with Suri, it was the main event. Tom's managed to win over a few hearts along the way — apparently making fawning fans of some reporters at yesterday morning's photo call. The couple looked happy and healthy together, though Katie's pretty dress and beautiful hair — not to mention the smile — stole the show from her adoring husband.

Tom Cruise paraded Valkyrie to Rome this morning, one stop closer to that visit with Beckham in Milan he mentioned. During his stop in Madrid yesterday, Tom expressed his Oscar hopes, including, sweetly, a win for his ex Penelope Cruz. His No. 1 woman, Katie Holmes, hasn't joined him for this leg of the trip, but Mrs. Cruise certainly didn't look pregnant when she presented at the SAGs this weekend. There are still rumors, however, that another baby is on the way, which would be fun and not too much of a surprise in 2009.

Tom Cruise held roses from fans at the Valkyrie premiere in Moscow last night before appearing in Madrid for a photo call earlier today. Katie had her presentation duties at the SAG Awards this weekend, which kept her away from his side, though he still included her in conversation — Tom said it'd be great for Katie to work in the West End. He also mentioned he's excited to visit David in Milan, so maybe Katie will be meeting up with her husband for some time in Italy with the Beckhams.

Katie Holmes slipped into a unique dress to accompany Tom Cruise to another premiere for Valkyrie today, this time in London. Looks like Katie's short 'do is starting to grow out, and we wonder if she'll have her longer locks around for her new movie role. Tom was always Katie's biggest fan when she was up on stage for Broadway, and now she can return the favor as the glamorous couple tours the globe.

With so many stars at Sundance and in DC, someone still has to hold down the red carpet overseas, and today it was Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's turn for the Berlin Valkyrie premiere. Tom recently revealed that even as a child he imagined killing Hitler so whether or not the movie is a big international hit, he's proud to be a part of telling the story. Tom was well-dressed as usual while Katie slipped into a sexy long black dress. She looked perfectly refreshed after her first week off Broadway, but soon it's back to work as she just signed on to a new movie project.

Tom Cruise was still in South Korea over the weekend continuing to promote Valkyrie. He had his handprints taken on Saturday afternoon after mingling with a crowd of enthusiastic fans, and yesterday he held court at a press conference. While he was busy in Asia, his girls Katie and Suri were laying low. Now that Katie's done with All My Sons it looks like their NYC fun is over for the time being, but rumors are already brewing that she might be headed back to Broadway after she auditioned for a new show based on the movie Finding Neverland.
