Obviously, the first catch of the day is Watchmen

This movie was pretty good, extremely entertaining, and faithful to the source material to a fault. Now, the director’s cut is on Blu-ray and we can watch in living breathing color all of the moments from the comic that were excised to make the film more accessible in theatres. Everyone is going to get this disc, it will do gangbusters.

Next up is Coraline. This version of the film is pretty definitive. For $20 you get both the 2D and 3D versions of the film, and Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copies. You’ll be able to watch the hell out of this movie on every platform you own. And the film is so exceedingly excellent that you will, indeed, want to watch it repeatedly any way it may be available. Seriously, don’t pass this one up. It’s a fantastic fantasy/horror film for the kids. Like Gremlins, only good.

After that is Robot Chicken: Star Wars – Episode II. This is quite a great special, though not as good as the first one, it’s still quite hilarious and I plan on picking a copy up.

Next we have Jean-Luc Godard’s Made in U.S.A. from the Criterion Collection. Perhaps I’m a bad film person when I say I’ve never seen any Godard and this will be my first. Expect a review of it to appear at my Examiner site.

Next on the list is The Mighty Boosh: The Complete Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3. I’ve heard so many good things about this show that it’s at critical mass.

Ira Glass’ This American Life: Season Two is coming out. I love the radio show and am quite intrigued to see the video version.

The last thing I’ll put on the list is the Blu-ray release of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I think this movie is a lot of fun. It’s fun to look at, fun to watch, fun to experience.
