DVD Pick of the Week: Hancock - Page 3

Part of: DVD Pick of the Week

Larry The Cable Guy's Star Studded Christmas Extravaganza. "Git'r done." Or however that goes, it had to be said. The man can be funny, so long as you keep him off movie sets, those results are awful. I bet this is funny, but hardly a keeper.

Nevermore: The Year of the Voyager. Following up Lacuna Coil's release is another live DVD featuring a band I am much more interested in. Nevermore is an excellent band featuring virtuoso guitars and one of the best metal voices going (IMHO). I have seen clips of this and thirst for more.

Arch Enemy: Tyrants of the Rising Sun: Live in Japan. Paired with the earlier two band releases, this week offers a compelling card. Program your own concert! I have never heard live performances from these guys, but am definitely interesting in checking it out.

The Atomic Cade: Collector's Edition. I have seen this called a "nuclear Reefer Madness" but it is another film I have not watched yet. It is a comedic documentary-style film looking at the nuclear age. Sounds like fun.

Freaks & Geeks: Yearbook Edition. This was previously released only through the show's official site, but is now being reprinted and available to all. It contains all of the show's episodes, tons of commentaries, and bonus material as well as two exclusive discs all in a package that looks like a yearbook. I am not sure it is worth the inflated price, but the show is fantastic and ended way before it should have.

The Zeiram Duology. That Keita Amemiya is an odd fellow. I have seen a few of his films and they are all low budget science fictioners. This is the two film Zeiram cycle, which would best be described as Power Rangers for adults. Robots and aliens exist within this realm, which is fun and corny and worth checking out.

Dirty Cop No Donut. This sounds like fun, if only for the title. It follows a cop who is tired of what he sees around him and heads out to take the law into his own hands. Should be a good one!
