DVD Day: November 11th, 2008
? Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Okay, you can get the film in single, double, or even triple-disc sets (and/or in Blu-ray), but the collector’s set comes with a poster, some kind of book replica, a Golden Army soldier figurine and the 3-DVD set.
? Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Re-live the magic in a format certain to be far more generous to the mediocre story and wooden animation.
? Firefly: The Complete Series
Now on Blu-ray, meaning ti looks evern better, meaning you’ll weep at Fox’s dickweedery even harder.
? Dragonball Z Season Z
Including the Great Saiyaman Saga, the part where Akira Toriyama turned the show into an insanely goofy comedy and tried to get rid of its’ slobbering fans. Didn’t work.
? Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom.
There’s a kingdom of crescent moons which needs guarding. Or something.
? Sukiyaki Western Django
Takashi Miike’s spaghetti-western remake/homage/parody. With the amazing acting talents of one Quentin Tarantino.
