DVD New Releases – 9/7/2010
By Johnny Rollerfeet's Echo Chamber - Last updated: Tuesday, September 7, 2010
These are my DVD and Blu-Ray picks that are getting released this week.
- Hatchet – This played at Fantastic Fest 2006 and I wasn’t the only one who really liked this throwback to fun 80’s American horror, and the opportunity to see BtVS alumni Mercedes McNab run around screaming topless is a nice touch. Adam Green is coming back to the Drafthouse this year with the sequel!
- Mars Attacks! – I’ve been cranky lately about films that try to recreate the camp of classic cult films, but I need to figure out why I exclude this movie from that classification. It’s a fun homage to 50’s/60’s alien invasion films.
- Poltergeist (Blu-ray Book)
– There’s a cheaper simpler Blu-Ray available, but then you wouldn’t get this cool interior
(or a “digibook” — whatever that is.) Coincidentally, I came across this cool thing over the weekend.
- Pulse – If the jerk studio executives would make a Veronica Mars movie for Kristen Bell then we’d be less likely to bring up these horrible movies they thought were a better idea.
- Stardust – The freshness rating — 76% — of this movie is higher than what I gave it, but I do love Claire Danes…even if she is a home-wrecker.
- Tommy, the Movie
– How do you think he does it?
- THX 1138 (The George Lucas Director’s Cut)
– This is starting to follow the pattern of his other films. How many times can Lucas get you to purchase the same movie? Still, it will be nice to see this dystopian vision in high def.
- A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown – I will absolutely be upgrading to Blu-Ray for these but I think I’ll wait for the Peanuts Holiday Collection combo-pack which comes out Oct. 5.

Here’s a cool/funny sticker I saw on the side of a bar this weekend with a built-in QR code. You can go here to read what the hidden message is.
p.s. Yes, this is a repeat of something you may have seen me post on Twitter or Facebook, but I’m referencing this in my weekly DVD post later. You should be able to guess why.
