The first film on the list today is Fritz Lang’s masterpiece M.  You can read my review of the Blu-ray from Criterion here.

Next on the docket is the Blu-ray release of Mel Brooks’ classic parody Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  It’s a fitting release since Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood hits theatres this week.  This film still holds up as incredibly funny, though a number of the jokes are pretty directly tied to the Costner Prince of Thieves picture.

For those of us who remember the Beavis and Butthead spin-off Daria, the entire series comes out on DVD today.  It was a good show and it sucks that MTV has fallen out of playing music videos and cool animation.  I don’t even know what the hell they program that isn’t a reality show.  Is there still music on MTV?  I’ll never know.

The last film I’ll mention today is the Blu-ray release of the original Karate Kid.  I bought this film for my kids a while ago, interested in forcing them to relive bits of my childhood and I was surprised to see that not only did this film hold up remarkably well, it still works for the kids of today as well.  Whether or not you have kids, if you have a nostalgia for this movie, as long as you can deal with the cheesy conventions of 80s filmmaking, this is a safe one to pick up.  Though it’s way longer than I remembered it.
