It's a monster week for DVD lovers, as we'll see tons of new movies, television shows, and direct-to-video flicks hit shelves. Read on for the week's highs (Street Kings, Gossip Girl) and lows (poker drama Deal, a new Crispin Glover creep-out) and check out great exclusive videos from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and The Scorpion King 2!

One of last season's hottest new series brought sci-fi fans back to a beloved franchise with a vengeance: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. With a new Sarah (300's Lena Headey) and a teenaged John Connor (Heroes' Thomas Dekker), the show paid homage to the best elements of the Terminator films while introducing new twists -- and a new, benevolent Terminator (Firefly's Summer Glau).

In our exclusive clip below, watch as Sarah meets unassuming cell phone salesman Andy, who reveals his pet project: a powerful chess-playing computer called The Turk. Could the machine contain the powerful beginnings of SkyNet? Watch the clip here.

Another new release this week revives a familiar franchise, albeit a decidedly more...mummified one. Debuting on DVD is the prequel The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, which tells the origin story of the young hero (One Tree Hill's Michael Copon) who will grow up to become the much brawnier, much less clothed The Rock --- err, Mathayus. Watch UFC champion Randy Couture tempt the young hero into joining his army, whilst delivering lines like "There's no place for timidity now that the scorpion rides on your shoulder." Watch it here!
