Out Today on DVD 9/30

Number one for today isn’t Iron Man, surprisingly.  Best Buy has an exclusive DVD release of Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D starring David Hasslehoff.  I caught some of this on TV a few years ago and I’m wondering why they decided to put this out on DVD.  I’m sure some of us will buy it to have it on our shelves for a bad movie night.  And may I be the first to suggest that we do this movie for a Geek Night at Brewvies.

Next on the list is obviously Iron Man.  This movie was great and there really isn’t anything I can say about it here that you don’t already know.  Another big comic book movie to come out is Daredevil on Blu-ray.  It’s not too terrible.  It’s fun.  It’s not good, but it’s certainly the peak of Mark Steven Johnson’s career.

Obviously, today sees the release of The Mindscape of Alan Moore which you all know was the subject of a number of articles here on Big Shiny Robot! including a contest and interview with the director.  It’s good.

There’s a few cool Blu-ray releases, too.  John Carpenter’s The Thing, Romero’s Land of the Dead (shut up, it was better than you say it was) as well as Zack Snyders okay, but not as good as the original, Dawn of the Dead.

Lemme know if there’s anything important I missed.  (Also note, I didn’t “miss” Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I just didn’t care to see it or mention it because I’m sick and tired of the Apatow crew.)
