This Week in DVD

The Proposal: So a Sandra Bullock movie comes out a while ago called "All About Steve." It looks terrible. It's panned. It tanks. Yet "The Proposal" looked almost as terrible (not quite, I concede), and it is now considered one of the most successful films of her career. What does this prove? Absolutely nothing, but it gives me a chance to mention how stupid "The Proposal" looks without just blurting it out.

Land of the Lost: Well, the good thing about this Will Ferrell movie is--is--uh...DVD reissues of the old series, also out this week?

Drag Me to Hell: They're already releasing the family movies for the holiday season, I guess.

Jackass: The Lost Tapes: There's MORE "Jackass"? Yet they're still trying to find the tapes of Super Bowl I.

Looney Tunes Spotlight Collection Volume 7: Bad news is, this is another cut-rate version of the "good" sets, a collection of previously released 'toons aimed at the casual fan. Good news is, TV Shows on DVD reported that Jerry Beck said there were releases aimed at "collectors" on the way in 2010. The good news is a lot vaguer than the bad news here, but we got to take what we can get.

The Stepfather: This remake may be scary, but I can't even begin to think about it without flashing back to the original, saying, "Terry O'Quinn with HAIR!" and giggling like a schoolgirl...with an angry stepfather...who will probably get mad and tell her to shut up...AAH! I just DID get scared!
