Winner of three Oscars, Brokeback Mountain is foregoing the chance at more box-office dollars as it makes ready for a DVD release on April 4, but based on the features listed I think we can certainly count on a 2-disc special edition later this year.

Oh yeah, a mediocre set of films in a cool looking collection as Universal may be trying to test the waters on just how much audiences adore the shiny-eyed anti-hero of the Riddick trilogy. There has been talk of a third and fourth Riddick film and good sales on this set would certainly help move those along.
· The Chronicles of Riddick (Unrated Director’s Cut)
· The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury

Sorry folks, I am a sucker for this show and considering the show seems to be making the syndication rounds I am not the only one. Therefore, sink your teeth into this fourth season set on DVD and join the Tool Man for another 26 episodes.

I am trying to remember the last time I watched Dumbo and for the life of me I can’t do it.

I have nothing to say for this one. I just added it to the database and I also just received a review copy in the mail along with a “9 to 5” mug and an odd bit of packaging having to do with rat poison. I am sure that has something to do with the movie, but considering I have never seen it I can’t tell you. Maybe I will have to subject myself to some old school Dolly Parton, I guess it couldn’t hurt to stare at her breasts for a couple hours eh?
