DVD Day: April 8th, 2008
Posted at 11:53 AM Apr 08, 2008
• There Will Be Blood
Included only for the way it helped milkshakes to take over our national consciousness.
• Walk Hard
John C. Reilly singing and Jenna Fischer in lingerie means nerd interest. Don't deny it.
• Day of the Dead
I was going to mock this nth-tier re-make but than I saw the cover—of a zombie bazooka-barfing green slime, in which is an eyeball—and now I've got total respect for it.
• The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 20th Anniversary Edition
• Nana
The live-action flick of the hit Japanese girls' comic starring two wildly different girls named Nana, which I totally have to 'fess up to reading. I don't know why. I think I keep expecting them to make out.
• Time Slip: A.K.A. G.I. Samurai
Sonny Chiba is the G.I. Samurai!
• The Super Robot Red Baron: the Complete Series
I have absolutely no clue what this is, but it looks awesome.
And two miscellaneous notes from this week's DVD listings:
• There's a Blu-Ray edition of the old Space Ace laserdisc video game. Seriously? Is Blu-Ray really necessary for this?
• There's a Girls Gone Wild DVD titled Sex Race. That cracks me the hell up. Are they really timed? What do you win for first place? Do they have to wear numbers? Do they get water and orange slices at the halfway point?
Comments
I thought the zombie on the "Day of the Dead" cover was attempting to swallow a Skeksis corpse until I read bazooka-barfing.

Posted 04/08/2008 at 12:00:18 PMGood find on The Super Robot Red Baron.
I have no idea what it is either, but as of this moment it's my new favorite tv show/movie from the 60s/70s/80s/90s.
