New DVD Releases for August 18th, 2009

Again, it's largely TV that will get any potential buyers to the store this week. You can get Dexter Season 3, Gossip Girl Season 2, the Hannah Montana movie, Sons of Anarchy and the week's highlight: the Simpson's Season 12 box set in deluxe Jeff Albertson packaging.

New movie releases are the (supposedly great) documentary on Mike Tyson and the (supposedly fucking terrible) Last House On The Left remake.

Catalog highlights are Last Starfighter Deluxe edition and a 3 disc set of Versus, the best Ninja Vs Zombies filtered through the Matrix film ever made.

NEW DVD RELEASES August 11th, 2009

Not as sucktacular as last week, although the mere presence of 17 Again on the list makes this the gayest posting we've ever done. Here's hoping that "I Love You man" has secret charms that I missed in the theatrical release.

Disney goes UP your ass for their money

Disney announced details of the release of their Blu Ray and DVD set of Pixar's fabulous UP! While we won't see the set until November 10th, start saving because the Mouse is bending us all over for this one.

The SRP will be $45.99 for this FOUR disk set. A screw job if ever we saw one. Disney forces the Blu Ray fan also purchase a DVD copy and digital copy that are typically included in these sets. I know revenues have been hard on Disney this past year but taking it out on the family who wants to own your little films is not the way to recoup losses. At least give us the choice of a package without these extras most of us don't need. If I'm buying it on Blu Ray, I have no interest in watching it on DVD now do I? That's like adding a VHS tape to every DVD set sold back in the early days of the DVD revolution.

And the Limited Edition Set? Only $199.99 SRP. Comes with the overpriced Blu Ray set and a replica of the Pixar mascot, Luxo Jr. Really? a $155 extra for a lamp that likely won't even work?

Oww, Oooo, EEEEE, Owch, my ASS! Disney, Pixar, stop! Why would you do this to your loyal fans?

Pathetic DVD & Blue Ray New Releases for August 4th, 2009

Yikes! This pathetic mish-mosh of weak titles is only a preview of weeks to come, I'm afraid as the studio gear up their onslaught of last season's TV show releases. This week the unfunny and gawd awful "Flight Of The Conchords" will sadly be one of the better sellers, followed by "Race From, oops, I mean To Witch Mountain". It's too hot or rainy to go outside and there is NOTHING at the theaters, and this is all the Home Video boys can deliver. This week's schedule makes the home video release of Heroes Season 3 look appetizing. Hold on till September, everybody.

DVD & Blu-Ray Releases for Tuesday July 21st

Some good stuff here; Watchmen of course, which was hardly the revelation anyone hoped for but not nearly the tragedy it would have been in other hands, either. An additional 20+ minutes of footage will no doubt mean a lot to those that care and pass by like the wind for those who do not. Still we'll take it, even with foreknowledge of a larger set at the holidays. Hopefully this time WB will have the download thru iTunes instead of the same incompatible internal service that the Black Freighter utilized. But we doubt it.

Coraline makes it's home video debut, which means many more will finally see it.

Global Metal explores the effect of Heavy Metal in the east. It's been done before..

Mighty Boosh, the acclaimed UK sitcom that stars wonderful people, but I find unfunny, makes it's US debut - both seasons!

The "missing" Prison Break "movie" debuts this week on DVd and Blu-Ray, although we couldn't confirm the BR disc - they are advertising it.

Robot Chicken's "Empire Strikes Back" episode come to DVD with loads of extras, including 15 additional minutes of footage, but will still feel slight to most buyers. That 15 minutes of extra footage involves more work than you do in a year, pal.

Finally, aging Ska-fans (aren't they all dead?) can relive their favorite skanking moments with the Reel Big Fish Live DVD.
