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 29, 2008 - DVD and CD new releases

Good morning. There's almost nothing to speak of for CD releases today, but there are some DVDs worth checking out.



DVD


  • Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay - The sequel to "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle." While boarding a flight to Amsterdam, stoners Harold and Kumar are mistaken for terrorists and are sent to the titular prison. Soon enough they escape and wacky hijinks ensue. This isn't as good as the first film, but still worth a look if you like this kind of comedy.
  • Doomsday - When an epidemic destroys Scotland, the remaining survivors are walled off and develop their own anarchic society. This horror/action/dark comedy was directed by Neil Marshall, who also made the extremely creepy horror film "The Descent," and that makes this film a must-see for me.
  • Shine A Light - Martin Scorsese's documentary/concert film about the Rolling Stones. If you still dig the Stones this is a film you'll want to see for sure.
  • more: Stargate: Continuum, Surfwise, WarGames (25th Anniversary Edition), Dark City (Director's Cut), Witchblade: The Complete Series, Two Fat Ladies: The Complete Series, Freakazoid: Season 1, Avatar The Last Airbender Book 3: Fire Volume 4.

CD

  • Lucy Woodward: "Is...Hot and Bothered (Barnes & Noble exclusive)" - The long-awaited second album by Woodward (who had a hit a number of years ago with "Dumb Girls") is a mix of rock-pop, jazz, and R&B. If you like pop music with a bite and some intelligence, this CD is worth checking out. The physical copy is only available at Barnes & Noble, but you can also buy it on iTunes.
  • more: Sugarland: "Love On The Inside (standard edition)", Third Day: "Revelation."
