DVD Tuesday: Smart Panda

It ain't Pixar, but Kung Fu Panda isn't a half-bad flick. The voice-over talent makes up for the relatively uninspired animation. Get Smart looked like a total bomb coming out of the gate, but Steve Carell did a decent job as Maxwell Smart and is Anne Hathaway ever not fun to watch? Shrek-branded prostitution alert! Before there was The Dark Knight there was the grim and great Batman: The Animated Series. Never thought much of Shane West until I saw him go for broke as Darby Crash in What We Do Is Secret.

To all who have never committed to committing to the best show on television, now is your chance to catch up on the complete series to date of Battlestar Galactica. I know, I know--science fiction is not your thing, you're saying. Ignore that. This ain't sci-fi. This is a richly-imagined alternate universe that will pull you in quickly and never let you go. And is there a bigger badass than Katee Sackhoff right now? Me say no. Two long overdue Cassavetes' films get the Criterion treatment this week. If you've never quite "gotten" Ben Gazzara, watch Chinese Bookie. Same goes for Gena Rowlands in A Woman Under the Influence.
