Awesome Movies

Thanks to a successful run at 2009 Sundance, blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite blasts its way onto DVD/Blu-ray on 2/16/2010; both include commentary, extra scenes, and featurettes.

Ong Bak 3 won’t arrive stateside for awhile, but Ong Bak 2 is now out on DVD, Blu-ray, and as a two-disc Collector’s Edition; the latter includes behind the scenes and making of featurettes.

The lack of words only adds to the haunting visuals in this Red Hill trailer; it takes No Country for Old Men, gives it a Old West spit-shine, and sends it down under to high-country Australia.

Left 4 Dead fans, eat your hearts (and brains) out: A.D. is a CG animated zombie flick with a jaw-dropping, bad-ass style we can’t get enough of; it’s directed by Ben Hibon of Codehunters fame.

This Ong Bak 3 trailer is light on plot but is a heavy-hitter both in terms of action and a few fan-tusk-tic costars; Tony Jaa will be all fists, feet, and fury when he arrives in Thai theaters in April.

NSFW: the guy who created the epic Phantom Menace review is back with an epic Avatar review; if you’ve been looking for a totally un-PC antidote to Avatar’s hyper-PC themes, this is it.

Buy the one 1978 animated film to rule them all with Lord of the Rings: Remastered Deluxe Edition; it includes remastered audio and video plus a 30 minute interview with director Ralph Bakshi.

This Amity Island Boat Hire t-shirt may give visitors a sinking feeling, but any fish dumb enough to tangle with Roy will bite off more than they can chew; still, they’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Get one of the best movies (mob or otherwise) ever made: Goodfellas 20th Anniversary Edition is a 2-disc Blu-ray set with booklet, commentaries, featurettes, and feature-length documentary.

Get a double-dose of Akira Kurosawa’s legendary samurai-meets-spaghetti western flicks with the Yojimbo & Sanjuro two-pack; it’s an HD 1080p 2.35:1 transfer with Dolby Digital 3.0.

Make your day with the Dirty Harry Collection (Blu-ray/DVD), due out 2/16/2010; it’s cheaper than the Ultimate Collection by leaving out extras, but still includes all five films.

NSFW: The 100 Cheesiest Movie Quotes of All Time is loaded with sappy one-liners and come-backs; not surprisingly, it’s weighted heavily towards Arnold, Stallone, and Keanu.

Brad Pitt blitzkriegs into stores 2Q 2010 with this 1:6 Lt. Aldo Raine figure; incredibly lifelike down to the wrinkles and facial hair, it includes a stand with Inglourious Basterds logo.

European audiences watched it in 2008, but The Red Baron finally makes it over the pond to US theaters in 2010; the film dramatizes the life of WWI ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen.

It didn’t do well in theaters, but we’re still rootin’ for Astro Boy as a robot-tastic flick; it arrives on Blu-ray/DVD 3/16/2010 with deleted scenes, featurettes, and two new animated scenes.

Avoid it if you haven’t seen Avatar yet, but Creating the World of Pandora is an excellent look behind the scenes; it covers visual effects, sound effects and actor training.
