My fun little blog detailing all things pop culture...well, the interesting bits. I'll be covering music, television, film, and other similar areas of interest. I'll try to post at least once a day. Look for about 50% information, 50% opinion...but this is NOT a gossip blog. I am not Perez Hilton!

July 15, 2008 - DVD and CD new releases

Good morning. It's another Tuesday, so here are this week's new DVD and CD releases.


DVDs

  • The Bank Job - This is a funny and exciting action/heist movie based on a very intriguing true story. Jason Statham from the Transporter series stars.
  • Birds of Prey: The Complete Series - Just in time for the release of The Dark Knight, this overlooked television series revolves around a group of female vigilantes who take over protecting Gotham after Batman disappears. Ashley Scott stars as the supernaturally gifted daughter of Batman and the late Catwoman.
  • Shutter - Yet another remake of an Asian horror film, this particular story centers around the dead appearing in photos. I thought this movie looked kind of stupid, but who knows...it could be scary. But I doubt it.
  • more: Meet Bill, Step Up 2 The Streets, Trafic, Monsieur Vincent, Robbie Coltrane's Incredible Britain, Beau Brummell: This Charming Man, Asylum, Penelope, Eureka - Season 2, Reno 911 - Season 5, Swamp Thing: The Series - Volume 2, MANswers: The Best of Season One.

CDs

  • The Hold Steady - ""Stay Positive": The title of this album is very fitting, as it contains eleven uplifting punchy rock n' roll songs that should be able to brighten anyone's mood.
  • Jay Brannan - "Goddamned": This YouTube star from NYC delivers an intriguing collection of acoustic tunes with a harder edge. Something a little different, but this guy could definitely catch onto a much bigger audience.
  • Through The Fire - "The World At Our Feet": I wasn't able to find clips of this online, but I'm still promoting this release because these guys hail from Lansing, Michigan. Gotta support the fellow Michiganders!
  • more: John Mellencamp - "Life Death Love and Freedom," "Passing Strange" (Original Broadway Cast), "The Dark Knight" - Official Soundtrack, Circus Circus - "Brooklyn Nightlife," Saints Never Surrender - "Brutus," Ace Young - "Ace Young," Delta Goodrem - "Delta."
