New Release Tuesday !

Wow,,Tuesday is here again. Another big release week, but one movie stands out among the crowd. Read below for a few stand-outs and my pick of the week.

Oh yea..........ONLY 2 MORE DAYS TO STAR WARS EP III !!!!!!

Batman-Return To The Batcave : Holy made for TV reunion movie Batman. This did appear on TV a few years ago and is in fact a reunion show, but with a little sub-plot thrown in. Adam West and Burt Ward play themselves as they visit a museum where the batmobile is on display. But Holy grand theft auto! Someone has stolen the batmobile,but who could be responsible for such a dasterdly deed. Thats for Adam and Burt to find out. The most enjoyable part of this dvd are the stories that Adam and Burt tell about the series and its effect on thier lives. As campy as the original and loads of fun, this is a must for any bat fan.

The Grudge-Director's Cut : Let me start this off by stating that it always peeves me off when a studio releases a Director's Cut just a few months after the first release. It's all about money, because they know that any videophile, (me included) will shell out the extra bucks to see the newly recut film. But to tell the truth, they fully delivered on this disc. The extras alone on this disc are worth the purchase price. Some new featurettes and 15 new deleted scenes are included, but the best is the 2 original "Ju-On" shorts by director Takashi Shimizu. The movie itself does contain added material, but the most noticible will be the ending which presents a more frightening and slightly more graphic ending.

Scrubs-Complete First Season : Take ER, remove all that serious doctor stuff and deep emotional stories, and you have the very enjoyable TV series Scrubs. This comediac look at hospital-life through an interns eyes is one of the funniest shows of TV. All 24 1st season episodes are included on this 3 disc set, along with several featurettes,deleted scenes and outtakes.

Team America World Police : From the mind of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone comes this story of an elite US counter-terrorism squad out to protect our free way of life. Oh yea,,the entire movie is done with marionettes a-la Thunderbirds. This is a good example of what happen when puppets go bad. This is a funny movie but in no way is it meant to be viewed by kids. this unrated and uncensored dvd includes a very raw naked marionette sex scene that was left out at the theaters. Like I said, there are some funny moments to this movie, but it will also be very offensive to some viewers. The dvd includes 8 featurettes, deleted scenes and outtakes.

White Noise : This is my pick of the week, even my pick of the month. This was an amazing movie that helped prove that you don't need a multi-million dollar budgat to turn out a incredible film. Michael Keaton gives one of the best performances of his life as a depressed husband who loses his wife and then gets involved in EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) to attempt to make contact with her from beyond. I have to admit that there are a few plot holes in the story, but the film makes up for this in its creepy and atmospheric presentation. This is a "bare-bones" dvd with only a few extras, so I expect to see a Director's Cut or Special Edition in the future. Still,,this is a must see. You do not have to be a horror fan to enjoy this movie. I give this my highest recommendation.

And did I mention that it is ONLY 2 MORE DAYS TILL STAR WARS EP III !!!

Not that I am excited or anything.
