DVD releases take a bit of a fall compared to last weeks bonanza of films. Be Kind, Rewind is the big release but I’m not all that excited to buy it. The only movie that I find even interesting is Russel Mulcahy’s The Sitter. Sure it’s a terrible made for TV movie that rips off The Hand that Rocks the Cradle but it is Russell Mulcahy. Expect crazy camera work and barely sensible plotting to follow. Awesome.

But the big DVD release that I am unfortunately excited for is the release of the complete series of Galaxy High. Galaxy High is a ridiculous cartoon from 1986 that I absolutely loved when I was growing up. It’s about two Earth kids who are whisked away to go to an intergalactic high school where they have all sorts of wacky adventures and hijinks. Trust me, it’s totally awesome. And it has one of my favorite TV intro songs ever. Sure it doesn’t top Misfits of Science, but nothing will.

As for film releases the two big ones are The Incredible Hulk and The Happening. I have little interest in The Incredible Hulk, but I am pretty excited for The Happening. I’m probably one of the only remaining M. Night fanboys left on the planet, so take my excitement with a grain of salt.

For smaller releases their really isn’t much I am interested in. I may go see The Promotion, but I am more then a little bitter that it is replacing Stuck, which was one of the better movies released so far this year, but unfortunately it only had about 100 people see it all of last week. Boo!

As always trailers are after the break!

Not much coming out this weekend in terms of Indie films, most likely because they are terrified to be crushed by the wake of Made of Honor. Sure the title makes absolutely no sense, but that doesn’t mean that people will be lining up as far as the eye can see to see McDreamy star in his first film since Can’t Buy Me Love. Or maybe it was Run? Suppose I should actually do a bit of research first … well well well, it was Enchanted. Who knew? Also some new comic book movie is out. Ho hum.

Of course my real excitement this week is for what is being released on DVD. First we have Teeth. A film entirely devoted to a killer vagina. It is an utterly ridiculous film that is also quite self-assured in letting the audience in on the joke.

But what I am really excited for is a film I have been waiting 20 years to be released, The Legend of Bravestarr: The Movie. Boom! Need I say more? Oh … I do? Well Bravestarr was a relatively obscure 80’s cartoon set on some far out planet where hordes of good people are oppressed by some sort of evil mutants until a heroic man arrives to save them all. This hero is a Galactic Marshall who rides a talking, gun toating transforming horse named Thirty/Thirty. Twenty years I have been waiting for the movie to be released on video, and on Tuesday that dream shall finally be realized. YEE-HAW!!!

As always trailers are after the break!
