Yesterday’s DVD Day: July 26th, 2011
 |
?Yeah, I know it’s Wednesday, but there were a lot of solid releases yesterday, and I felt it was more important to make sure everybody knew about ’em rather than do a Super Terrific Japanese Thing today.
? Supernatural: The Anime Series
It’s here! Any of you fangirls want to leave your assessment in the comments?
? Source Code
The second movie from Moon director and David Bowie progeny Duncan Jones. It doesn’t look that great, but I thought that about Moon until I saw it, so I’m guessing this will likewise be totally awesome.
? Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe
I heard this Burn Notice TV movie was only so-so, but Bruce Campbell did lose like 20-30 lbs. for it. Don’t you think you owe it a watch, just for that?
? Dylan Dog: Dead of Night
Yep. The Dylan Dog movie. Moving on!
? Justice League: Season Two
On Blu-ray.
? Stargate Atlantis: Complete Series Gift Set
100 episodes on 20 Blu-ray discs for $115.
? One Piece: Collection One
The first 26 episodes for only $20. If you’ve ever had any desire to check out One Piece — and I can’t personally recommend it enough — this set is a fucking steal.
? The King of Fighters
Even I don’t hate myself enough to watch this, so can anyone tell me where it falls on the live-action Tekken/Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li scale of awfulness?
? Herculoids: The Complete Series
In case you missed it the first time.
? Conan the Adventurer: Season One
The family-friendly animated adventures of the world’s most famous barbarian. “What is best in life, Conan?” “To see your enemies driven before you, fight them without spilling any blood, and then teach them about friendship and sharing!” “Really?” “Shut up.”
? Sci-Fi Invasion 50 Movie Set
50 horrible sci-fi movies for $19. They don’t even have the full list of the movies included on Amazon; that’s how horrible they are.
