Hollywoodland - February 6

The only thing we have to report on the HOLLYWOODLAND DVD is that it'll be 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround tracks as well as a seperate HD DVD release so you can pinpoint the exact location where Ben Affleck's hair line ends and the wig begins. Stay tuned for specs as they are released.

Notables

A Fish Called Wanda(SE) - OUT NOW!!!

After much hub bub and delay, the focker is finally being released. Is it possible that we can petition Kevin Kline to do more comedies? Love that guy! By extension of that, can we petition is wife, Phoebe Cates, to recreate the pool scene in FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH? Love that girl! Read Quigles review of this Special Edition HERE. Buy it HERE

Accepted - OUT NOW!!!

Justin Long has a lot of potential to become a great actor. While I hated the movie WAITING, I thought what he did with the role was both funny and had some "realness" to it. Also, he's balls out hilarious as a doctor in the flick IDIOCRACY. Check out Scooter Weinberg's review of the ACCEPTED DVD HERE, buy that shit HERE.

Looking for Kitty - OUT NOW!!!

Holy f%ck! I had no f*cking idea, until writing this thing, that this was ANOTHER f*cking Ed Burns flick. I'm gonna spare you my f*cking continuous Ed Burns hate filled rants because even I'm f*cking sick of them. LOOKING FOR KITTY actually sounds like it should be the sequel to NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY. Jason "Happy Hour is the finest Hour" Adams reviewed the DVD HERE. Buy that shit HERE. Oh yeah, f*ck.
