One of my favorite films of 2007 arrives to DVD today, , rectify that mistake today by buying the new, juicier version. more ›

Even though they are the two big releases today, I just couldn't bring myself to lead with the awful left off...with more girl-liking. more ›

You know it's a light week when I lead off with the DVD of a TV series. isn't. more ›

The and wonder why James Taylor didn't become a famous actor. more ›

Pixar's long streak of superb movies is starting to feel vaguely satanic, but I'm willing to keep embracing evil as long as it's this rich and funny. is finally on DVD so prepare for 720p vidcaps of Biel ass. more ›

Yeah, yeah, I know. . If you must have it, steal it. Oh, and does R. Kelly have no concept of irony? more ›

In the last year, HBO has lost four of my favorite shows for various reasons--The Sopranos, Extras, Deadwood and Rome. Do you hear that sound, HBO? That sound is Showtime creeping up on you. At least the second season of Rome is now available on DVD. If you like gratuitous sex mixed with your gratuitious violence (and who doesn't?), then Rome is the show for you. more ›

David Fincher's obituary will likely refer to him as the director of Fight Club, but Zodiac is his most complete work. Luxuriate in its full 157 minutes this week when it reaches stores. The Number 23 had a pretty good trailer, but unfortunately the actual movie was longer than 90 seconds. Bring back Lloyd Christmas, Jim! Sure HBO seems to have the best shows on cable, but Showtime is quickly closing the gap. Weeds is its best series to date--funny, absurd, relevant and featuring uber-MILF Mary-Louise Parker. Prepare for the crappy live-action Underdog movie with the classic Underdog cartoons. Keeley Hazell's zoomers enliven a mannered, should-have-remained-a-short Cashback. Speaking of zoomers--nude, female French wrestlers? Yes, please! more ›

Reno 911!: Miami may have only been a marginal hit (and a critical dud), but I had a great time with it (being drunk at the time). It really took the freedom of an R rating to liberate the show from its PG-13 Comedy Central roots. For those of you who missed it at the theater, be sure to pick up the "unrated" edition for even more hot, naked action. Speaking of hot, naked action, Bridge to Terabithia doesn't have any. It is, however, a movie that should please kids and adults alike. After all, it pleased me and I'm a very child-like adult. more ›

This is the week where everyone mourns the end of (watch this now if you've never seen it!), check out his initial transformation into the Ghost Rider for a signature example of WAY over-the-top acting. more ›

In what was probably the least gross competitive eating event I have ever seen, James Donohue destroyed the rest of the field at this morning’s CHiPs DVD Release/Donut-Eating Contest. Donohue inhaled 18 donuts before anyone else could finish as many as a dozen (and I’m talking full-sized glazed donuts, too, not the tiny, little powdered sugar motherscratchers.) CHiPs star, Erik Estrada, was on-hand to referee the whole affair but his services were barely needed... more ›

When I saw in the theater, there were about 60 people in the audience.  Virtually all of them maintained the appropriate funereal silence as the film was slowly excreted through the projector.One guy, though, was apparently watching the funniest movie he had ever seen.  I imagine he’s one of the few that will be lining up to buy today.For the rest of us, it’s probably a couple of good docs, some excellent TV, a Jason Alexander boob-heavy curio and a long overdue (for me, at least) Wack Pack biography.

One dark note this week…the emergence of a new, sinister and completely unnecessary form of DVD.Actually, I should say a new form of packaging a DVD since there is not really any fresh material on these so-called “steelbook” and “lenticular” editions.They just look really shiny.Because I am sick and tired of studios repackaging crap in new boxes, these releases are consigned to “after the jump”.
