The Complete X-Files Collector’s Edition – October 23

If I were an X-FILES fan, I’d be totally stoked have this on my DVD release calendar. We’re talking 198 episodes over 61 discs, tons of cool extras, a helluva nifty box set to hold it all. And the glory. For a complete list of details go HERE.

Hollow Man (Director’s Cut) – October 16

Not sure how the director’s cut can make HOLLOW MAN better, unless it includes sneaking into Germany’s Women’s Olympic track team to sniff their soiled uniforms. Sorry, wishful thinking on my part. Actually, there’s something about HOLLOW MAN that I enjoy. Maybe because Paul Verhoeven took SHOWGIRLS so seriously. Who knows.

Includes:

1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
English DD5.1 Surround
English and Korean subtitles
HBO Making-of “Anatomy of a Thriller”
”Fleshing Out the Hollow Man” 15 Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes
VFX Picture in Picture Comparisons

Ratatouille – November 6

RATATOULLE sounds like the sound effect you make when you spit after kissing your girlfriend’s mom at Thanksgiving. And by that I mean hot as hell.

Includes:

Deleted Scenes – Introductions by screenwriter/director Brad Bird
“Your Friend the Rat” – All-new animated short film.
Fine Food and Film: A Conversation with Brad Bird and Thomas Keller
Lifted – Oscar nominated for Best Animated Short Film, a teen alien learns that failure is an option

Family Guy Freakin’ Party Pack – October 30

Another monster of a set, this one involving the Griffins. This set includes Volumes 1-5 of the show along with the STEWIE GRIFFIN: THE UNTOLD STORY and a bonus disc with deleted scenes, interviews and featurettes that you CAN’T find on the current release. The set also comes with a collectible carrying case and a themed ping-pong set with paddles, a net and balls and 100 themed poker chips with two sets of playing cards inside. Freakin’ Party Pack indeed, bro. Below there’s some other features you can find in the Party Pack.
