Top DVD Releases for the Week of December 29 2008
Here is a list of the DVD Releases for the week of December 29 2008:
Serenity [Blu-ray Disc]
Synopsis: In the feature film version of the sci-fi cult TV hit 'Firefly,' Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran on the losing side of a galactic civil war, ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family -- squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers --a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister -- he gets much more than he bargained for. The two are highly sought-after fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe. Caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the cannibalistic fury of the Reavers (savages who roam the very edge of space), Mal and his crew come to realize that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.(Source: Moviefone)
Cast: Adam Baldwin, Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Chiwetel Ejiofor, David Krumholtz, Glenn Howerton
Recommendations: I know this is only a new release on Blu-ray, but this is one of the few movies that I would recommend you buy on Blu-ray. With all the action, it's definitely worth watching on HD.
Buy it: Serenity on Amazon
Giveaway: SURFER DUDE Poster
We have 5 posters from the new Matthew McConaughey movie, SURFER DUDE to giveaway. The movie comes out on September 12.
You can read the synopsis and watch the trailer below.
Synopsis: Steve Addington, long-boarding, herb-totting, soul-surfer, returns to Malibu for the summer to find his hometown vibe corrupted. New sponsorship demands the surfer expand into Virtual-Reality Video Games and Reality TV.
Unwilling to participate in this new digital-reality, Addington chooses to stay earthen and analog, surfing majestic So-Cal waves. But in a biblical twist-of-fate, the waves go flat and stay flat.
Out of money, his sponsored expense-accounts canceled, betrayed by his buddies, the waveless Addington is backed into a harsh corner. He must endure the insanity of the wave drought or give into the Man and his reality-altering machines and pre-packaged amusements.
Aided and abetted by his manager (Woody Harrelson), his mentor (Scott Glenn), his guardian-angel (Willie Nelson) and his summer lover, (Alexie Gilmore), Addington (Matthew McConaughey) has a high-quality chance of keeping his cool, maintaining his mellow and bringing harmony to his fractured and waveless world. It won’t be easy.

Thoughts: Ok, I usually really love to watch Matthew McConaughey's movies, but I'm going to have to put my foot down on that one. Not only does it not look funny, but the story doesn't even sound that interesting. So yeah, I'm going to have to pass.
