DVD Day: June 1st, 2010
 |
?? The Wolfman
I don’t know a single person who saw this movie, so I have no idea if it’s good, bad, pedestrian, or whatever. Enlighten me, Topless Roboteers.
? Alice in Wonderland
I know several people who saw this most Tim Burton-y of Tim Burton movies; about 75% disliked it, and 25% really liked it. I’m pretty sure I’d rather just watch Ed Wood again.
? Burn Notice: Season 3
Season 3 wasn’t Burn Notice‘s best, but since it stars Bruce Campbell, it is by default the best DVD release of the day.
? War of the Worlds
The Tom Cruise version, on Blu-ray.
? Aqua Teen Hunger Force Vol. 7
I certainly don’t begrudge ATHF its success, but would Adult Swim mind getting around to releasing those last Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episodes on DVD please? Pretty please?
? Super Mario Bros. Super Show: Off the Map!
I hate when the releases are so poor that I have to do the singles of lackluster cartoons. It depresses me. And the fact it’s a crappy Super Mario cartoon just after Dennis Hopper died depresses me too.
? 20th Century Boys 3: Redemption
Given how far this was buried in Amazon’s listings, I’d say maybe 8 people in America give a shit about this movie. I hope one of them reads TR.
