Perhaps not the coolest man ever, but Kurt Russell is certainly in the Top 5. And without his many contributions to cinema I would not be the man that you see here today.
Yes, the rumors that I bought a winter coat specifically because it makes me feel like a member of the cast of The Thing are in fact true. The beard I grow just because I’m lazy.
Coinciding with the DVD release of Living Arrangements (read my review), Astrix Home Video has released a step-by-step series of videos to help you in preventing werewolves from invading your home. It is safe to say that these videos are freaking fantastic, and I can’t oversell them enough. I’m embedding the first one but be sure to head over and check out all of them. You won’t regret it.
Mondo has been making great screen printed posters for what seems like eternity, so it should come as little shock that they have once again out done themselves with their latest releases for House of the Devil and Frozen. Granted, I can see why people would wonder why House of the Devil needed a sweet limited edition poster when its original one sheet is already bloody fabulous, but the poster for Frozen is simply outstanding and one of their finest releases to date.
So swing over to Mondo and grab one of these, or dozens of other, great posters to hang on your wall. And if you’re really feeling frisky, pickup this fantastic Werner Herzog t-shirt while you’re at it.
House of the Devil is a bit of a favorite around the site, so much so that James and I devoted one of our few Spoiler Alert podcasts (Download Here) to it, and it is with great pleasure and excitement that I discovered a few days ago that it would be released today on DVD. And not just DVD but Blu-ray as well. And while I’m not a fan of Blu-ray I have to admit the film should look fabulous in that format.
But in a rather shocking twist, I also found out that House of the Devil can also be purchased on VHS! Oh that’s right, for just a few dollars more you can have your very own VHS copy of this film along with your DVD copy. And unlike Blu-ray I am a huge fan of VHS and this kind of release is sheer brilliance considering the style and tone of the film. Kudos to whomever came up with the idea, you’ve totally sold me.
And now, just when I thought VHS was dead and buried I now have a reason to dust off the old head cleaner and fire up the VHS player. Scha-weet!
