These are my DVD and Blu-Ray picks that are getting released this week.
- Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy – The Rich Mahogany Edition – One of the most quotable of Will Ferrell’s movies is being offered in this Best Buy exclusive featuring a 12 pack of trading cards and “The Many Months of Burgundy” journal.
- The Evil Dead (Limited Edition) – The classic Sam Rimi and Bruce Campbell debut gets a high def release. (It’s Evil Dead…what else can you say?)
- The Best Of Soul Train (3 DVD)
– Just a glance of the description makes this purchase irresistible: “…exclusive performances by The Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye, The O’Jays, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone…the original dance styles and scene-stealing fashions…the Soul Train Dance Line and the Soul Train Scramble Board….Barry White on stage performing with a full orchestra…Marvin Gaye and Don Cornelius playing one-on-one basketball with Smokey Robinson refereeing…”
- I Think We’re Alone Now
– A documentary about Tiffany fans doesn’t seem that big a deal. Except she was a pop singer in the 80’s and this film was made in 2008 about two people who are her biggest fans. It gets weird. This was a hit at Fantastic Fest that year. (Technically this came out last week, but it hit my radar today.)
- FlashForward: The Complete Series
– I had several episodes of this show on my DVR when in got canceled. I’m afraid to watch the “complete” series lest it leave me thinking they never had a chance to actually complete it. Did anyone watch it to the end?
- Expendables 2: Zero Heroes
– What a coincidence that a few weeks after a movie called The Expendables slams the international box office that this DVD collection of four low budget 80’s movies (including a 1989 movie called The Expendables) — none of which has more than 100 votes on IMDb — finds its way to the release lists. It does include Cobra Mission which starred John Wayne’s son Ethan Wayne.
If you’re looking for cheap Blu-Ray discs, Warner Brothers has a sale this week.
