DVD Releases
Halo Legends (DVD and Blu-ray)
Halo follows in the footsteps of Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight with an animated anthology. Each of its 8 episodes is created by a separate prominent Japanese anime producer.
Law Abiding Citizen (DVD and Blu-ray)
This hybridization of legal thriller and serial-killer shocker flopped at the box office, but it’s sure to be a hit on late night cable. A guy killing people from prison? So plausible it’s frightening!
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (DVD)
The California coast is terrorized by two enormous prehistoric sea creatures as they battle each other for supremacy of the sea. If you’re not getting your B-movie fix with the SyFy channel, pick this one up.
Ran (Blu-ray)
Kurosawa’s brilliantly conceived retelling of Shakespeare’s King Lear. Lord Hidetora announces his intention to divide his land equally among his three sons, resulting in a power struggle that drives Hidetora insane, destroying his entire family and kingdom.
Small Wonder: The Complete First Season (DVD)
A man invents a robot that looks like a little girl but then decides to keeps her true nature a secret. A TV critic for USA Today called it a contender for worst TV show of all time, but I consider it to be a classic of the eighties!

In Theaters
Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island (R) hits theaters this weekend. They delayed it’s release date from October to February, when box office bombs are typically slated, which does nothing to recommend it. Still, Shutter Island looks to be the first decent thriller of the year.
