​• Stargate: SGU-1
Wait a second. Does this mean the show's real name is "Stargate: Stargate Universe-1"? Fantabulous.

• Dante's Inferno
The anime of the videogame based on the classic work of literature in that a character is called Dante and it takes place in hell. I'll pass, thanks.

• The Guild Season 3
Felicia Day and pals continue to have wacky hijinks in and out of the World of Warcraft. I think. Probably. I haven't watched it.

• Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai
Apparently this is a classic Japanese movie about several generations of a samurai family that won some awards. Sounds kind of cool.

• XIII: The Conspiracy
All I know about XIII is that it's a French spy comic, and the only reason I know that is because of that PS2 game from a few years ago. I didn't know there had been a movie starring Val Kilmer until I got on Amazon about 20 minutes ago.

​• Zombieland
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.

​So remember when we were talking about how awesome Hulk Vs. was in the straight-to-DVD comic book movie list earlier today? Well, I have similarly high hopes for the upcoming Planet Hulk animated adaptation, out on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download next Tuesday, February 2nd (you can check out the trailer over here). I loved the comics by Greg Pak, and it's a stand-alone story that should be perfect for one of these movies. Oh, and there's lots and lots of smashing.

Well, Lionsgate, makers of Planet Hulk and Hulk Vs., emailed me the other day -- not with a death threat, oddly -- but with the message that they wanted to give away the new Planet Hulk  2-Disc Special Edition DVD to two Topless Roboteers. I explained that you were all horrible people who didn't deserve such gifts, but they insisted.

So the contest is this -- tell me about the last time you got furious and wanted to Hulk out. I mean got crazy mad and just wanted to smash somebody (or somebodies, or venerable institutions, or whatever). Since this is TR, I'd prefer it to be still be over something nerd-related, like at a comic store or a role-playing game rather than when you were in line at the DMV or something -- and since I'm still judging the winners, I'd pay attention to that rule if I were you.

The winner will still get TR shirts, too. As usual, only one entry per person, the contest ends on Monday, February 1st at 12:01am, and TRY TO KEEP IT FROM RUNNING TOO LONG OR I WILL SMASH YOUR PUNY ENTRY MYSELF. HULK NO HAVE TIME FOR READING 1000-WORD ESSAY ABOUT HOW SCALPER STOLE LAST SLAVE LEIA FIGURE FROM YOU AT TOYS "R" US ONE MORNING.

​Just like we live in a golden age of comic book movie, we live in a golden age of straight-to-DVD comic book movies. Sure, they're not all stupendous, but live-action films like Iron Man and The Dark Knight should be enough to convince you that theater-going comic fans have it better than ever before. Likewise, comic fans that like to stay home are equally blessed, because Marvel, DC, and even Dark Horse are making animated features starring their best superheroes, and, for the most part, doing them well. Sure, everyone has their own favorites that everyone else hates, but we've learned to take the good with the bad when it comes to adaptations of our beloved characters into moving pictures.

Unfortunately, for every terrible live-action comic book movie that manages to get to theaters, there at are least three animated DVD feature movies that seem like they were thrown together by a group of writers with the vaguest of super hero magnetic poetry kits, and they need pointing out as well. Here's a list of the five best and worst to ever cross our home entertainment thresholds.

​• Surrogates
Question for anyone who saw this story of Bruce Willis investigating non-blue furry avatar murders -- is there any reason I should watch this instead of rewatching 12 Monkeys for the 10th time?

• Naruto Shippuden Box Set 1
When Naruto made the jump to Shippuden, I was genuinely excited (I'm a sucker for shonen stories, what can I say). But I've read enough of the Shippuden manga to know that author Masashi Kishimoto not only doesn't have a grand plan for his characters, he's making shit up on a week-to-week basis. It's just terrible. I pity anyone who's collecting the anime and watching this nonsense while it's padded out for TV.

• Sherlock Holmes
Couldn't wait to see Sherlock Holmes and Ianto tussle with some dinosaurs? You're in luck, because Asylum's goofy-ass DVD movie come out today. Let me know how it is.

• Rifftrax
There are a bunch of Rifftrax DVDs coming out today, including riffs of old movies like Planet of Dinosaurs, Voodoo Man and the DVD of the recent and awesome Plan 9 from Outer Space live riffing held back in August. But the gems, as always, are the two discs of shorts -- Shorts-Tacular Shorts-Stravaganza and Wide World of Shorts. There's so much entertainment on each of these that's it's criminal that they're only $10 each. Buy them. Do it. I promise you will not regret it.

• Parker Lewis Can't Lose: The Complete Second Season
I tried to watch some of the first season on DVD. I remembered why I liked it as a kid, but couldn't get back into it as a bitter, jaded adult. I don't hold this against Parker Lewis, it's just an observation.

• The Real Ghostbusters Vol. 2
Five discs and 31 episode of real ghostbusting action.

• Alone in the Dark II
If you need to own a sequel to a Uwe Boll movie -- a sequel that Uwe Boll turned down, meaning that IT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR UWE BOLL TO CONSIDER DIRECTING IT -- on Blu-ray, no less, I... no, I can't even imagine such a person existing. I won't.

The Asylum -- the beyond low-budget, straight to DVD makers of the recent Princess of Mars movie, the Transmorphers movie, and many more knock-offs, have decided to try their hand at Sherlock Holmes. Thanks to the wonders of the public domain, the movie is simply called Sherlock Holmes, much like the Robert Downey Jr. version, although the latter is severely lacking in dinosaurs, while the Asylum's version has them in spades. So... yeah.

I can't help but think that Holmes will be less solving a mystery than running for his life from dinosaurs in this movie, and as a Holmes fan, that disappoints me. Unless, of course, the mystery is why Torchwood's Gareth David-Lloyd -- Ianto! -- would consent or be forced to star as Watson in a shitty direct-to-DVD Sherlock Holmes rip-off. Something tells me whatever the answer to that mystery is, the answer will depress all of us. Thanks to Kristie for the tip.

Apparently Smallville's little JSA preview was feeling lonely, so DC also allowed this clip of the upcoming Crisis on Two Earths to keep it company. This is a fight scene between the Justice League and the Crime Syndicate and it's pretty groovy, especially if you like to see Superman just outright punching women (you misogynistic bastard). But stay until the end of the clip for a harrowing discovery -- The Flash makes a quip that isn't funny. Not even kind of. "That's what I call tuning someone up"? Who says that? Who ever uses "tuning up" in regards to a person? No one, that's who. You'd think the Flash would be a little quicker on his feet, right? ZING. DC, THAT TOOK ME 20 SECONDS. TRY AGAIN.

​• Gamer
I remember this live-action FPS movie/Running Man knock-off looking like it could be so-bad-it's-potentially-good fun. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

• Whiteout
I remember this movie adaptation of the Greg Rucka comic being announced and then -- nothing. I assume this is not a good sign.

• Pandorum
Look, I love Dennis Quaid, but when he's the biggest draw your sci-fi film has, well... yeah.

• Defying Gravity
Yet another primetime sci-fi show killed within its infancy that I never remember airing because the major networks don't promote sci-fi series at all. This complete series set includes five episodes that never got aired.

• 2081
This is a 25-minute adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron." I love Vonnegut, but that's my least favorite short story by him. And I'm not buying a 25-minute DVD of anything ever.

• Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics Vol. 1
Four whole episodes on one DVD. Even though the whole damn series could fit on one DVD if anyone gave a shit. I don't.

• Kingdom of the Spiders
'70s-era William Shatner fights giant spiders. From Shout Factory, so it's packed with far more extras and love than a '70s movie starring Shatner and giant spiders should have.

• Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series
This release contains the complete Fraggle Rock cartoon. Unfortunately, it's still the Fraggle Rock cartoon.

• Nunsploitation
Three nun-tastic stories of nuns versus demons, nuns versus lust, and nuns versus lesbian lust. Really, I just love the word "nunsploitation."

• Super Robot Red Baron
An Ultraman knock-off from the creators of Ultraman. Do you need another '70s Japanese live-action giant robot show in your life?

On February 2nd, Lionsgate will release their animated adaptation of Greg Pak's Planet Hulk to DVD and Blu-ray. Newsarama is currently hosting an exclusive two-minute clip from the film, so you can head over there and check out the green mayhem for yourself. (It's a given that the animation is better than what you see above). The sequence -- which at first uncomfortably brings to mind the bloated arena scene from Attack of the Clones -- really comes to life once the Hulk begins kicking robotic ass. Releasing a extended clip that reminds viewers of Lucas' prequel stinkbomb is a gutsy move on Lionsgate's part, but the Hulky action in this clip and coolness promised in the trailer will still make it required viewing for Marvel fans. At least those who aren't pissed about the company's Deadpool variant shenanigans.

​• Moon
Sam Rockwell starts to crack after being sent to hang on the moon alone for three years in this acclaimed sci-fi movie that's barely sci-fi. I could've told you that was a bad idea, people.

• The Simpsons Complete 20th Season
So. This exists.

• Robin Hood: Season Three
What? Where's Robin Hood killing the fuck out of everybody? Where's the sword slashing and screaming? Where's the fucking bitchin' guitar solos? Why even call it Robin Hood if you're not going to fill it with bitchin' guitar solos?

• Transformers Season 2, Vol. 2
Four DVDs containing episodes such as "The Secret Of Omega Supreme, The Search For Alpha Trion, Hoist Goes Hollywood and the thrilling two-part The Key To Vector Sigma!" Very thrilling, I'm sure.

• Care Bears: Helping Hearts
I doubt many of you want to buy a Care Bears cartoon DVD, but for the few of you who do I highly suggest you do it now, because once FFF rolls around, you're not going to want anything to do with the Care Bears ever again.

• Cliffhanger and Last Action Hero
Now on Blu-ray. When Cliffhanger and Last Action Hero enter your medium's library, you know it's no longer on the rise, but slowly beginning its inexorably slide into irrelevance.
