Out Today on DVD 11/18

Wall-E comes out today and it’s a must own.  The Blu-ray also comes with a digital copy so I can burn it to my iPod (or iPhone) which makes me extremely happy.  This movie is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 and if you haven’t seen it then you have to catch this Blu-ray.

Criterion is releasing a Blu-ray edition of The Third Man and I have to say that this is required viewing.  This film is on my top-ten and if you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to do so immediately.  Joseph Cotton and Orson Welles headline this second collaboration between director Carol Reed and writer Graham Greene and is quite possibly their best.  (True story, Criterion has put out their first two collaborations, but their third, Our Man in Havana (starring Alec Guinness, Maureen O’Hara and Burl Ives) is not available in any way in the United States…)  Anyhow, buy this and watch it.  You can thank me for it later.

Star Trek: The Original Series – Season 3 Remastered hits the streets today. I’m keen to see the “Special Editions” of Star Trek. I want to show the little robots Star Trek pretty soon, so I’m also wondering if the price tag for these sets is worth it. Anybody have an idea?

Not much else out today… Tropic Thunder comes out, and I rather enjoyed it in the theatre. In fact, Tom Cruise is worth the cost of the DVD.
