Easter Eggs

ULTRAVIOLET – June 27th

If you felt the film was a little ‘unfinished’ when it hit theaters, then this may be the light at the end of the tunnel- released in both Rated (87 minutes) and Unrated (94 minutes) Editions, this DVD is looking to make back all that money it lost in theaters. But will those 7 extra minutes turn this flick into something more than a film with ‘so much potential’? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. And if the Unrated Edition includes Milla Jovovich naked, I’m totally there.

The Goods:

English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound

Anamorphic widescreen transfer

Cast Audio Commentary

Numerous yet-to-be-announced Features

Honorable Mentions:


THE RIDDICK TRILOGY – May 30th – Because you need to be reminded why Vin Diesel’s the man… and why he should be forgiven for THE PACIFIER.

JACK OF ALL TRADES: THE COMPLETE SERIES – No Set Date – Because Bruce Campbell, no matter what type of silly outfit they put him in, is and will always be a badass.

FEED – July 8th – Because after eating all those hamburger and hot dogs on the 4th, you’ll need a reason to loose some weight… and to give up food all together.

THE WEDDING PARTY – November 7th – Because most wedding receptions only feature free booze and a DJ… and this one has shotguns and hand grenades! Finally, a wedding movie for men to enjoy…
