Out Today on DVD 5/6
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 at 12:01 am Category: DVD's |
This is a pretty light week. I think the most noteworthy release this week is the rerelease of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 the movie. We all know and remember the guys from MST3K and they provided hours and hours of entertainment, making unbearable movies entertaining. I haven’t seen this in probably a decade (indeed! it has been that long) so I’m interested in giving it another shot.
On a sidenote, Mike Nelson is running a website that sells podcast, MST3K-style commentaries to watch alongside much larger Hollywood fare than the licensing budget of their show could afford. (They’ve recently finished up I Am Legend, Cloverfield and a number of others.) They even do celebrity guests (Weird Al even joined in for the Jurasic Park commentary). The new commentary I’m most interested in is their track for “Batman and Robin”. I wonder if even they could make that movie watchable. So, check out that site over at www.rifftrax.com…
Another pick for the week is one I missed in the theatres:

It looked great, I just never managed to catch it.
Be sure to check back next week. 5/13 is going to be a pretty big day with more than a few mandatory purchase.

I still remember walking out of the theater after seeing MST3K and not being able to breathe. Damn that’s a funny movie. I’m not sure why I never picked it up on DVD (probably too poor at the time), but it was out of print in no time. You could find copies selling on eBay for upwards of $150, so it’s a good thing that it’s finally coming back into print. I’m picking up a copy fer shure.
