My Weakness Is Strong by Patton Oswalt

One-eyed Willie — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:13:08 +0000

Patton Oswald is arguably one of the funniest comedians out there today. The first place I ever noticed him was on the TV show King of Queens, but have since seen a lot of his stand up and various appearances at the various Friar’s Club Roasts, and can say that he is roaringly funny. This is a DVD/CD combo pack of his latest standup special, that is definitely worth the price of admission. $11.

Transformers 2

Peg Leg Larry — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:06:11 +0000

Big, loud explosions coupled with beautiful bombshells. That pretty much sums up the second installment to the “Transformers” series. You won’t get mind-twisting plots or tear-jerking dialogues within this movie but you’ll get an orgy of robots trying to kill each other. And of course, Megan Fox and Isabel Lucas provide the much needed eye candy so those two hotties alone are enough to warrant a pre-order for this video. Available in DVD or in Blu-ray. $23+.

True Blood Season 1

Dread Pirate Roberts — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:08:41 +0000

What do you get when you mix vampires and sexiness? True Blood. Now before you sigh with disgust, this is not like that crappy Twilight series, in fact, it is in a league of it’s own. Created by Alan Ball, who is also responsible for Six Feet Under, True Blood is set in fictional Bon Temps town in Louisiana where humans and vampires co-exist. Season 2 is running on HBO currently, so grab Season 1 and catch up on all the goodness. Still not interested? Let’s just say True Blood isn’t mild on the sex, nudity and violence. $39.

Inglorious Bastards

One-eyed Willie — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:02:30 +0000

Before you go out and see the new remake, make sure you see the original to spark your memory, or if you’ve never seen the original, check out where the movie’s roots came from. The classic version has been remastered to be optimized for Bluray disc, so you might even forget that it’s an old movie. $23.

Watchmen Director’s Cut

Dread Pirate Roberts — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:45:43 +0000

Watchmen definitely is not your average superhero flick. Violent, dark, long as hell, and chuck full of blue radioactive dongs, Watchmen is not for the masses who are used to the light superhero genre. Good news for fans of the movie, though. The Watchmen – Director’s Cut Blu-ray is out, featuring 25 more minutes of Zack Snyder’s adaptation of the iconic graphic novel. You’d also appreciate the bonus material and featurettes that come with the disc. Just make sure you have enough time on your hands and a tolerance for seeing blue members. $21.
