Camera... Action Jackson!, I Want My DVD, Lights, Little TV Shows That Done Hit the Big Time, The Kongs of Comedy, We Call Do-Over
I Want My DVD: The New ReleasesJust in case you're not reading our DVDs Unwrapped blog, we thought we'd clue you in on the latest DVDs we've gotten the chance to review. Sadly, we were turned down for a review copy of The Complete Fraggle Rock, but we'll keep trying.
Get Smart -- Too silly to be an action movie, to serious to be a comedy. It does, however, have Steve Carell in a fat suit.
Futurama: Bender's Game -- A sci-fi cartoon full of Star Trek references, injected with extensive Dungeons and Dragons humor. Is there anything more geeky? No. No, there is not.
The 4400: The Complete Series -- It's like a much better Heroes! Except this one's already been canceled!
Shrek the Halls -- If you're a completist when it comes to Shrek, animated holiday specials or Scottish Mike Myers movies, here's another 22 minutes for your collection.
30 Rock: Season 2 -- Now that the new season's started, you know you want to buy it.

If you have a brain -- and for your sake, I really hope you do -- there are moments in Journey to the Center of the Earth that will make you cringe. There's that whole "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the center of the Earth" thing (it's in the trailer; watch and find yourself embarrassed for Brendan Fraser). There is also an unnecessary -- and unnecessarily schmaltzy -- obligatory love story. And, because it sort of comes from out of nowhere, the cheesiness of that romance will catch you off guard and you won't even be able to brace yourself against the ridiculousness.

Animation Desensitization, Camera... Action Jackson!, For Kids!, I Voted for GORE!, I Want My DVD, Lights, You Got Comic Book in My Movie, You Know
I Want My DVD: The New ReleasesJust in case you're not reading our DVDs Unwrapped blog, we thought we'd clue you in on the latest DVDs we've gotten the chance to review. Sadly, we were turned down for a review copy of Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter, but we'll keep trying.
Journey to the Center of the Earth -- Possibly the greatest 3-D movie made entirely to show off the wonders of 3-D you'll see this year. Of course, it's no The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, but then, what is?
The Strangers -- When Dave Chappelle (dressed as Lil Jon) talked about giving himself "a stranger," I don't think he meant breaking into his own home and terrorizing himself for the better part of a night. But maybe he did. We don't know his life!
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull -- Love it or loathe it, this is an out-of-this-world DVD set. Above and beyond. To the moon, Alice. In other words, it may have been created by aliens.
The Incredible Hulk -- A pretty incredible collection of extras, including an alternate opening where you can see Captain America stuck in a block of ice. Be prepared to "freeze"-frame. Get it?
Sleeping Beauty: 50th Anniversary Edition -- It's the newest edition of the Disney classic, straight outta the vaults and fully restored with bonus songs and some sweet documentaries. Fun for a girl or a boy! (Boys, be prepared to fast-forward.)

Box Office Tally, The Kongs of Comedy, We Call Do-Over, You Got Comic Book in My Movie
Center of the Earth, Top of the Box Office?Let's play a guessing game. What movie, if any, will unseat Will Smith's Hancock this weekend? Well, let's look at what's opening and make an educated guess. First up is the sequel to that OTHER superhero movie that's opening in July, Hellboy II. The first one made money, and is something of a cult classic, and (like Dark Knight) Hellboy II reunites its cast with the director of its predecessor. I loved the original film, but this in no way has the same drawing power as Will Smith. Fans of Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo Del Toro will go, as will Hellboy fans, but that's not enough.

Box Office Tally, Girls on Film, Separate but Sequel, The Kongs of Comedy, You Got Comic Book in My Movie
Batman Forever?It seems that I owe MWoP blogger Odie Henderson a dollar. Odie swore to me that Pineapple Express would not beat The Dark Knight at the box office this weekend, that in fact Batman would stay perched on his high gargoyle until Tropic Thunder came along. While that latter part remains to be seen, it does seem like my estimation of Seth Rogen and James Franco as Bat-breakers on a par with any of Arkham Asylum's inmates was incorrect.
