Movies You Didn’t Know Were Coming: December Edition
It’s that time again to look at watch ridiculous DVDs are coming out with almost NO advertising. Since I write this column I’ve already seen some of the releases and I’ll be honest… there are some OUTRAGEOUS titles (both good and bad) this month. So unless you’re saving up your money to buy the Special Edition director’s cut of Devil… get ready to spend some coin.
December 7th there’s some amazing blu-ray releases from titles like Lost in Translation, Rush Hour, The Big Hit and Videodrome (a must have for any movie geek). At long last cult sci-fi classic Cronos will be available on both blu-ray and DVD. Coming just to DVD (for roughly $375) is the Fox 75th Anniversary box-set containing 75 discs worth of Fox movies. There’s a lot of movies to name in there but it includes such titles as Day the Earth Stood Still and Star Wars: A New Hope. However my pick of the week (much like in September) is one of the 90’s best kid’s shows, Boy Meets World Season 4
Coming to both DVD and blu-ray on December 14th, Indie comedy Cyrus and Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (a documentary about the funniest female comedian). On DVD is America Lost & Found: The BBS Story which much like the Fox 75th Anniversary is a mult-disc collection including titles like Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Last Picture Show and a few others. However the pick of the week is obviously the blu-ray release of cult classic Hard-Boiled.
December 21st we get A LOT of TV releases between Futrama Season 5 and Family Guy It’s a Trap on both DVD & Blu-Ray, Caprica Season 1.5 on DVD only and the Family Guy Star Wars Trilogy on Blu-ray. On DVD we also have the films of Rita Hayworth which is exactly as it sounds, a collection of films starring Rita Hayworth. However the pick of the week is truly a toss-up between Mega Shark Vs. Crocarus or the Amateur Porn Star Killer Trilogy. What can I say, we’re a classy bunch here at Geekscape.
Finally December 28th kicks off the Christmas Season right with Charlie Brown’s Valentine’s Day. As well as Cyborg Conquest which I’m sure will become a classic that the whole family can enjoy. In the realm of Family Friendly DVD releases Jersey Shore Seasons 1 and 2 finally come out but my pick of the week is the animated detective series Archer which will be released on DVD.
