Universal Home Video will release a second volume of Woody Woodpecker cartoons on Tuesday. Picking up right after Volume 1, this three-disc set contains the next 45 Woody cartunes (Volume 1 covered 1940-1952). It also has 30 additional Walter Lantz cartunes, featuring characters like Chilly Willy, Andy Panda, and even has a few Lantz-era Oswald […]

This is already making me drool. I can’t wait until it comes out this December. There will be a limited theatrical run in October and I won’t miss that, either. Five discs is an awful lot for one movie but this film is deserving of all the added value material.
Interestingly, I was reading some of […]

A new feature is being added to Netflix that lets you watch movies on the web for free. It’s called Watch Now and it’s slowly being added to member accounts over the next six months. I was among the lucky ones who got to check out this feature, and I must say it’s pretty neat.
First […]

Another Netflix post.
I’m a big fan of Netflix, but I do have some problems with them. Namely, their practice of throttling. Throttling, as it is called on the web, is in part meant to give low-volume renters priority status for the titles they have at the top of their queues. Which is fair, I think. […]

I can’t tell you how big of a fan I am of DeepDiscountDVD.com. While they’re not as great as they’ve been before, nothing beats their bi-annual 20% Off Sale (you do have to use a promotional code, such as USATODAY, DVDTALK or PRICESEARCH in order for the discount to take effect). Each year they have […]

It really isn’t. I just put crappy pre-release movies at the top. There is this Wordpress plug-in that I use that automatically shows what 10 films I have at the top of my queue. See this snapshot that shows what my queue looks like now, today, November 20 2006, up to #10. I thought this […]

Here’s what I’ve been watching recently, starting with what I watched last night. Each is followed by a star rating:
-Nacho Libre. I didn’t care much for Napoleon Dynamite, so it came to no surprise to me that I didn’t dig this second film from Jared Hess, either. There are a few funny moments thanks […]

The black-and-white comedy series The Munsters spun off a feature in 1966, when the show was canceled after two seasons on CBS. Munster, Go Home had the family move to England, where Herman Munster had inherited a castle. It’s a very funny film, and it’s great to see the Munsters in color. […]

It’s like magic. Out of nowhere! Who would have thought, with films like Wings and The Jazz Singer not yet released, that today would mark the release of Tale Spin on DVD? I’m excited. This was a good Disney show, and I’m glad to see that said company’s home entertainment department is releasing […]

So what did I do during those three months that I was gone? Well, that’s a head-scratcher for me. Work, watching movies, sleeping… in short, having nothing to write about. I was in a softball league, that was pretty cool, but other than that it’s been an uneventful Summer.
And I really wasn’t gone: just out […]

This is the big day I’ve been waiting for: the release of The Planet of the Apes Ultimate DVD Collection. 14 discs of damn dirty apes.
Well, first let me give you the link to this week’s RoundUp at the HTF. As I explained two weeks ago (I was too lazy last week), you can find […]

Each week on Sunday, Mike Frezon at the Home Theater Forum posts a Weekly RoundUp of all the new DVD releases that will be coming out the next Tuesday. I can’t tell you what an amazing resource this is. Over the past years, Mike (and before him, David of TVShowsonDVD.com) have saved me countless hours […]
