Some good stuff this week.
Beastmaster: The Complete Collection Marc Singer eventually showed up in this, didn’t he? Anyhoo, all three seasons of the syndicated fantasy series; 66 episodes in all.
The Five Doctors: 25th Anniversary (!!!!) Edition. Seriously, Tom Baker, couldn’t you have just played along? Also DVDs for The Time Meddler (Hartnell) and Black Orchids (Davison—a rare only two-parter)
Get Smart S1 (Yay!) Amazon is selling it cheapest, by the way–$17 for 30 episodes!
Ben Ten S4; Masters of Science Fiction CS; Robin Hoods S1&2; Star Trek OS S2 (Remastered); Wire in the Blood S5
Movie of the Week: Rogue! Finally! And screw you, Weinsteins, you sucks.
Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers: 20th Anniversary Edition Really the best of the ’80s self-mocking, nudity drenched DTV movies. Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer are gorgeous, and many of the jokes are actually *gasp* funny. Seriously, good stuff. Maxim Magazine called it “the 4th best B-movie of all time.”
Maneater Series: The Hive — Killer ants, oddly, not killer bees. But then, bees wouldn’t eat people. Stars Tom Wopat. Given history, this will eventually come out in a set, two, with a couple of other movies.
Rustler’s Rhapsody – Paramount is putting out simply tons of ’80s movies (D.A.R.Y.L.! Summer School! Uncommon Valor! A zillion more!) today under the rubric “I Love the ’80s,” and each has its fans, no doubt. But if you have seen this genial but genuinely funny western spoof, give it a look. Tom Berenger should have been a much bigger star. (Also, James Garner’s Support Your Local Sheriff. Classic stuff.)
And, per Eric’s suggestion:
Werewolf/Future War (reviewed here!)/Laserblast/First Spaceship on Venus
Oh, and he suggested this link too:
Oh, and Eric also suggested I put a link to these up.
That Eric’s a weird dude.
New to Blu Ray:
Starship Troopers (Alone and in set with DTV sequels), Lonesome Dove
