UPCOMING DVDs

Here are some cool upcoming Region 1 SF releases you should know about. In association with Amazon.com. (See some more recommendations.)

 

	The Simpsons - Bart Wars If you can't wait for your regular Simpsons fix on DVD (the full season boxes are being released at a glacial pace, namely one per year, because Fox wants to do audio commentaries for every single Simpsons episode ever made! Why don't they skip some commentaries - who listens to them in any case? - and fast-track the whole process instead? We'll all be joining Grandpa Simpson in the Old Age home by the time they are finally released!) then this ought to provide a quick fix for you.
	Cube Zero   Second Cube sequel. The previous one was Cube 2 - Hypercube which was unexpectedly good — but isn't this idea being exhausted now? (This time one of the bureaucrats running the Cube decides to help a woman trapped in the maze.)
	Xena Warrior Princess - Season Six Popular TV show that ran for ages.
	The Incredibles Hugely entertaining outing by the Pixar guys — can they do any wrong? (Uhm, have you seen the Cars trailer by the way?)
	Star Trek - First Contact (Special Collector's Edition) A re-issue part of the drive to give all the big screen Star Trek movies the "special edition" treatment that make fans drool. This is incidentally one of the best Trek movies . . .
	Batman and Robin: Serial Collection Not the campy 'Sixties TV show starring Adam West, but rather the 1940s B&W serials. Personally, I didn't even know they existed, but there you go . . .
	Final Cut Understated SF thriller starring Robin Williams (who is "into" understatement nowadays, making up for decades of comic mania) with an intriguing idea which turned out to be . . . to understated. That is, if the critics are to be believed.
	Star Wars - Clone Wars, Vol. 1 (Animated) In time for Revenge of the Sith, the animated TV series based on the two so-called Star Wars "prequels", especially Attack of the Clones.
	The Twilight Zone - Season 2 (The Definitive Collection) Classic stuff now being collected as complete box sets for the first time. (If only this site made more danged money I'd buy it!)
	Astro Boy - The Complete Series Historical 1960s anime TV show.
	The Lone Gunmen - The Complete Series X-Files spin-off TV show that was cancelled pretty quickly. Ever notice how anyone ever involved with this TV show now seems to be . . . unemployed?
	Elektra This one came out pretty quick on DVD — now didn't it?
	Primer Cheaply produced indie sci-fi thriller that won all kinds of festival prices but met with mixed reviews because of an (allegedly) incomprehensible plot and poor production values. Still seems like a step in the right direction though . . .
