Grendelscott's DVD Corner: 09/25/05

Welcome back! Just to recap for any new members, each week I will post what is due out that week (or at least most of the main stream releases, as anywhere from 100-300 DVDs are released each week). I'll then spotlight a DVD with a review or news about a new one coming out. Finally, I'll post a DVD easter egg or two each week. Many of you might already know of them, but they are fun things to find "hidden" on your DVDs.

Featuring an all-star voice cast (Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear, Mel Brooks, Amanda Bynes, Drew Carey, and Robin Williams) and a groundbreaking visual style that pushes the boundaries of animated filmmaking. Robots is a dazzling, fun-filled feast for the eyes and a riveting good time for all ages!

This Week's DVD Easter Egg(s)

Evil Dead

At the main menu select ‘Bonus Materials’ and watch the ‘Bits and Pieces’ right to the end. Now, head back to the main menu and play the movie by selecting ‘Begin Terror’. You will the hear a demonic voice say ‘You Will Die!’ before the movie begins.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading, and see you next week.

Man, I have been on a DVD bender over the last month. I have gotten way too many. But I love 'em and can't help myself.

I'd definitely buy it. I couldn't stop laughing. Alot of ppl found Robin Williams annoying but I thought he was great. He had some stupid moments, but over all, the jokes in there were great I loved it and the animation was superb.

I agree with Ghost. And visually it was stunning. So much going on that it is impossible to take it all in in only one, and maybe even several, viewings. A must have DVD.

Grendelscott, I'm pretty sure A Knight's Tale Extended Version was released last week. I picked it up at Best Buy on Friday. I enjoyed the theatrical cut of this movie alot.

I know Creature Comforts have been out for years. Unless this is like the Comedy Central Released ones. I've had my dvd directly from Aardman for a while now.

They must have put them out early (I've seen them do that a few times). Both Best Buy and Amazon show 9/27 release dates. I try to catch when my sources make mistakes - I almost put a movie on there that wasn't due until January...lol. Either way, thanks for the suggestion, I've been debating on picking this one up.

The original came out 5 years ago on DVD. Not sure if it was a "season" like this one is. If it's on Comedy Central now, then most likely it's their release - more $$$ for them.
