KING KONG DVD details
I’ve only been a casual viewer of the KING KONG production diaries at Kong Is King.net. While I think they are fascinating and very well done, I just don’t want to overload on this movie before it actually comes out. The diaries have been incredibly popular which is no doubt responsible for this amazing DVD release. Click on the thumbnail to see details but this set really continues Jackson’s trend of outstanding DVD releases. This is being released to coincide with the theatrical release of KONG and based on the packaging, I guarantee you that a lot of people will buy this set thinking it is the actual movie.

SPOTLIGHT: The Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection
ALFRED HITCHCOCK: THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION is one of the most beautiful DVD sets I have had the pleasure to own. It’s a velvet lined box with a door on the front that slides open to reveal 4 DVD cases. Each case is beautifully designed in its own right, designed using original release posters from the movies within. Each of the cases up to four DVDs - bringing the total to 14 movies and one bonus disc of special features. The box also contains a slender booklet with promotional art and brief synopses for each of the movies. Needless to say, it will take quite a bit of time to get through this collection, not to mention write reviews on all the films contained within. But I wanted to give you a heads-up on this great package. If you are a Hitchcock fan and you definitely need to check this one out.

SERENITY DVD details
I still haven’t seen SERENITY but it is at the top of my list. The buzz around this movie at FANTASTIC FEST has been incredible. It’s not actually playing at the fest, but everybody I run into seems to be talking about it. The DVD is already in the works for a December 20th release and The Digital Bits were able to score a few details. This is unconfirmed at this date, but bonus features are rumored to include:
- Video introduction to the film by Whedon
- Whedon audio commentary
- Future History featurette
- We’ll Have a Fruity Oaty Good Time featurette
- Re-Lighting the Firefly featurette
- What’s in a Firefly featurette
- The Other Side of Serenity featurette
- Serenity’s Roman Orgy featurette
- 6 Minutes of outtakes

Unrated LAND OF THE DEAD hits select theaters
George Romero’s LAND OF THE DEAD was a disappointment at the box office and with many fans. I actually liked it quite a bit. The people who didn’t like it seem to mainly have a problem with the political element. To me, this didn’t seem any more prevalent than in Romero’s previous films. But all that aside, I am looking forward to adding LAND OF THE DEAD to my DVD collection. I will definitely be opting for the Unrated edition which looks to be very cool. To help promote the unrated edition of the DVD, Universal Studios is teaming up with Fangoria for a one night only screening of LAND OF THE DEAD on the big screen in various cities across the U.S..
Here’s a trailer for the event.
