DVD Day: March 10th, 2009

? Let the Right One In
The critically acclaimed Swedish vampire movie. I’ve got my Netflix coming today, and am praying I like it enough to need to buy it. By all accounts, I will.
? Howard the Duck Special Edition
Your eyes do not deceive you — this is a really a special edition DVD of Howard the Duck. I’m not sure what bonus features there are other than a 5.1 Surround Sound track, so you can her the score in all its majesty.
? South Park Season 12
Two things to note: 1) this is the episode where Butters becomes a goth kid, and 2) this season is also available on Blu-ray. The fact that South Park is available on Blu-ray blows my mind, but not in a good way.
? Batman Anthology
The ’90s Bat-movies come to Blu-ray, allowing you to see this in the highest definition possible:
…yeah.
? Escape to Witch Mountain Special Edition
I hated the Witch Mountain movies when I was a kid, mostly because I was convinced aliens were going to abduct. And since these aliens were dressed in ’70s attire, it was even more terrifying. Return also gets a special edition release today, natch.
? Max Fleischer’s Gulliver’s Travels
This is exactly the sort of thing about three of you are probably insanely delighted over, so I thought I’d mention it. Go crazy.
