If, for some reason you haven't seen Zombieland yet and haven't had the surprise spoiled for you -- although that hardly seems possible -- buy or rent Zombieland tonight. You're living on borrowed time.
• Doctor Who: The Complete Specials
Well, more specifically, this set includes the complete Tennant specials, except it isn't complete and only includes his final four specials (five if you count The End of Time as two). So it's got The Next Doctor, Planet of the Dead, Waters of Mars, and The End of Time, specifically. All are sold separately, too.
• Planet Hulk
You know, if this does well, I really hope Lionsgate does World War Hulk as well. I really, really want to see Hulk beating the shit out of the Illuminati animated, don't you?
• Universal Soldier: Regeneration
Starring Jean-Clause Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. I think nothing more need be said.
• Ong-Bak 2: The Beginning
By all accounts Ong-Bak 2 is awesome. I'll probably be posting the trailer for Ong-Bak 3 later, if that helps at all.
• Dragonball Season 3
Dragonball is better than Dragonball Z. There. I said it, and I won't take it back.
• She-Wolf of London
Please don't confuse this '90s TV series with Isla, She-Wolf of the S.S. If you're expecting one and get the other, either way, you'll be immensely disappointed. And possibly offended beyond all measure.
• G.I. Joe: ARAH Season 1.3
All you need to know is that this set contains the episode "There's No Place Like Springfield."
• Hellboy: Sword of Storms and Blood and Iron
Both Hellboy animated specials on one Blu-ray. Convenient!
• Batman: Brave and the Bold Vol. 3
Look, we all know that B&tB will get a Complete Season 1 release at some point. I just wanted to take a minute to explain what happens in the five episodes for anyone who isn't watching this cartoon. Aquaman and the Atom play Innerspace in Batman, and Aquaman rides one of Batman's white blood cells; Batman goes to the Crime Syndicate universe and teams up with the good Joker, then comes home to find Owlman's been masquerading as him; and then he meets Bronze Tiger, turns into a giant mystical bat, and punches a ghost pirate ship so hard it explodes. If that doesn't sound like the awesomest thing ever, I don't know what's wrong with you.

Hellboy: Sword of Storms and Blood and Iron
These are so damn good. It's a shame we'll probably never see the third one they were going to do...it was Lobster Johnson based. Lobster Johnson is like the Boba Fett of Hellboy; just a couple of appearances (well, up to this last year or so), but a complete and total badass.

What's the surprise in Zombieland? that no one dies? (yeah, i know, before you say it, i know. SOMEONE dies)
sal said:
is it just me, or has Ong-Bak 2 been out for a long time?
The Thriller replied to sal:
It was internationally released a long time ago but had no official North American release. Then it was released in theatres late late last year (I believe) and was also available on Netflix through Xbox live (if you lived in the US, us Canadians were pretty much screwed). NOW it's FINALLY being OFFICIALLY released in North America on DVD. I've been waiting for this for ever...

Ong-Bak 2 is horrible horrible horrible. For the love of all that his holy, please just rent it first.

*Gasp! First the wasted daily list and now you're stating Dragonball to be better than DBZ?! For shame, Rob. Shame.
do4m replied to To the Dohm:
Well it's True! DB is a lot better than DBZ...
Z should've stopped right after Namek

I just saw Zombieland recently. It didn't really live up to the great opening; it just kind of meandered around and didn't provide as much varied zombie killing that I had been expecting.
It was an ok flick at best.
*preps flame shield*
Terjay replied to Sythlia:
Pretty much this.
difortu replied to Terjay:
*cough* disappointing
emerson999 replied to Sythlia:
I think it's best described as an ok zombie movie that had a couple quite good parts alongside one incredibly awesome part. To me that gives it something higher than ok, while still less than awesome. ok++

I actually agree. (Holy shit the world is coming to an end.)
I am a fan of both, and you shouldn't apologize for that, anyway. Dragonball did have some key improvements over the series later on. Dragonball involved more actual adventuring instead of gimmicky battles and filler, Dragonball had more effective comedy, and Dragonball had much more character development than Z did.
Honestly if that isn't the vast majority opinion with all DB fans, i'd be surprised.
Lucy replied to Karma:
Hehehe, you mean *other* people prefer Dragonball over DBZ? I... I thought I was the only one this whole time T.T I feel like a little weight's been lifted off my shoulders, placed there in the first place by all of those people who gave me odd looks whenever I declared my preference.
Bless you both :D I feel vindicated.

Holy crap! I remember She Wolf of London (although it was only called Love and Curses when I saw it). It used to come on late on Saturday nights, if I remember. It was an Night Stalker like show where an American girl (who was a werewolf) and some British guy solved supernatural cases.

Dammit, my hopes for a (in print) release shattered.
Zombieland kicked ass; definitely worth buying or renting.

@Rob
I agree for the most part. I'd say Dragonball/Z peak of perfection was from the start of the Piccolo Daimao Saga in Dragonball until the Android Saga in DBZ.
Before Piccolo Daimao there were moments of fun and intrigue with silly stuff thrown in. The first two tournaments were cool, but not amazing. The Red Ribbon had its moments, but I think as far was action was concerned Toriyama was still refining his craft.
The problem after the Trunks Saga is that starting with the Android Saga and all the way to the Cell Games it seemed that Toriyama was disinterested in martial arts and it was mostly a slug-fest of who was the most powered up at the time. Kind of boring for the most part.
With Babidi/Buu it seemed that Toriyama was more relaxed and went back to the basics of early Dragonball. It never got as good as between Piccolo Daimao to Trunks Sagas, but instead seemed to fuse pre-Piccolo Daimao with Android/Cell Sagas into some kind of middle ground which was more satisfying than the previous Android/Cell Sagas.
Dragonball GT just sucks.
kenshrio replied to THE PR0F3550R:
I think we can all agree that Dragonball GT was the worst.
THE PR0F3550R replied to kenshrio:
Don't I know it. I suffered trying to watch the first season box-set of DBGT with the stupid adventure and Baby Sagas, but I watched it. Then came the second season box set with the Super Android and Dragon sagas and it was just as bad and dreadful. I just gave up. The show ran in the background while I was reading, doing laundry, cleaning house, or playing the Nintendo DS, but I never was paying attention to it and I really don't give a shit about what was happening. Pan sucks!

You're not exactly taking a stand. Even anime snobs that like to take a big crap on DBZ readily admit that the original DB is a pretty good show. Among fans that don't just get off on fights and explosions it's a pretty common opinion that DB is superior to DBZ.
The stand you're taking is just agreeing with the majority.

I think you misunderstand. It was not meant to be all the specials up to this point, it was only meant to be the last four, which were known collectivly as "The Specials" as opposed to Series 5 . The older, specifically Christmas specials were part of previous series and have been included on the DVD sets.
