Farscape, Vol. 4 -- I tell you what - I am just loving this release schedule for the Farscape discs. It's like every six weeks it's Christmas again. Anyway, this time we've got a great episode in PK Tech Girl, which featured the titular Gilina as a PK hottie and Crichton love interest, and That Old Black Magic, a so-so episode by Farscape standards. I can only assume that this comes with the same features as the first three volumes, but haven't been able to confirm it. Either way, you need it!

Cast Away -- personally, I thought this was an amazing movie. Almost 70 minutes of the film has virtually no dialog, but yet is captivating through out. A really cool experiment in film narrative. And if you liked it, you'll love the dvd. It's a 2 disc set, that comes with: Commentary by director Robert Zemeckis & Crew, theatrical trailers, The Charlie Rose Show interview with Tom Hanks, Wilson: The Life and Death of a Hollywood Extra featurette, The Island featurette, HBO First Look Documentary, Surviving as a Castaway Survivalists Docmentary, Special Effects Vignettes, Concept Art Gallery, and Storyboard-To-Film Comparisons. Check out Shea's review.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? -- you know, this one just didn't do it for me, which is surprising, since I've liked every other Coen Bros. movie, and I can certainly recognize the artistic merit of it. Yet, I dunno... Anyway, you'll get a making of featurette, and a Soggy Bottom Boys music video. In other words, keeps in the tradition of crappy Coen Bros. dvds. What's with that anyway? Well, as for the movie, you can find out more with Shea's review, here.

The New Stanley Kubrick Collection -- just to piss you off if already you bought the 'Old' Stanley Kubrick Collection. Basically, you just get more extras per movie, and some improved transfers. Comes with Barry Lyndon, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Lolita, 2001, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, and Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures.

Blue Planet -- from amazon.com: The IMAX film Blue Planet offers an eloquent reminder--and a cautionary warning--that the planet Earth is a delicate living organism, constantly reshaped and rejuvenated by the awesome forces of nature. The difference between this and other nature films is that the Earth's delicacy is emphasized by stunning views from space, filmed in the IMAX format by NASA astronauts in orbit 200 miles above the Earth's surface. With astonishing clarity, this orbital perspective supports the film's ultimate purpose: to reveal the awesome beauty of the Earth, and to emphasize that we, the custodians of this miraculous gift, are also the greatest threat to the planet's delicate health. Proof of man's destructive influence offers a sobering reminder that our responsibility toward nature is perpetual, essential, and routinely abused.
