Get The Latest Movies To Rent From Blockbuster Video Unlimited DVD Rentals delivered to your door first month is only $9.99.

Back again with some more new DVD releases and I think there could be some pretty interesting especially if your DVD-R or TIVO has been on the blink..

Not exactly anything to lose sleep over if you missed it but some pretty good stuff never the less.

We start to day with 3rd Rock from the sun can this really have been going for 6 series since 1996? (apparently so..?)? this next one is only available as a region 3 DVD. If you have not moved upto multi region with your last DVD upgrade you might want to consider getting one as a back up.

I am still proudly able to boast ownership thanks to a trip to Malaysia a 50″ front projection tv? which plays 7 (i didn’t even know there were that many ) tv formats and for added bonus it even creates text in Chinese and Malay (ok not massively useful but a talking point in days gone by) and to get back to my point a multi region DVD player which plays every known DVD format known to man…

Without which I would have missed so many great movies ..

So multi region is without doubt the way to go if you are truly serious and not just watching the latest Hollywood blockbusters…

So where were we …

The next DVD is a Korean import in DTS (i knew there was a point to all that ) called City of Violence worth a look if you can get hold of it? or so it seems? Then if we could get further away than Korea and City of Violence we have Ellen Degneres with the complete series five which is good for a few laughs.

? Some might? prefer to think of this as the “coming out years “. On a? slightly different note we then have Touched by an Angel you will either love or loathe this series and I guess I stand on the loathe side but who am i to pass judgement.

Now we all have a pretty good laugh (never really been sure if Touched by an Angel? is supposed to be funny maybe it’s just me?) lets have some serious drama with Thin which takes head on full in the face the worring trend of eating disorders namely [tag-tec]anorexia[/tag-tec] , binging , size? 0 and a whole range of other mind provoking stuff .. if you are worried about some one having this problem watch this it’s pretty dramatic stuff and will open your eyes..

If not? go and treat yourself to a Mac and Fries (maybe we will look at Supersize Me another day!?
3rd Rock from the Sun: Season 6

Recommended The Sixth & Final Season

3rd Rock From the Sun is one of the richest and hilarious television comedies to air. The series first aired in 1996 and lasted for a total of six seasons. The show molds science fiction into a sitcom and the results are a blast. A team of aliens from Mars take on human form in Rutherford, Ohio and integrate themselves into the local populace. Their goal is to learn everything they can about humans in a couple of days. Of course, it turns out humans are much more complex than expected and the team of aliens decide to stay a while longer. For more details about this series and its cast, please refer to DVD Talk’s reviews of season one, Read the entire review

Ryoo Seung-wan, the man behind Crying Fist, returns to the action genre he’s so well known for in his native South Korea with The City Of Violence, a fun and entertaining fight film that succeeds more on style than on substance but which entertains from start to finish.

The film begins when a detective named Jeong Tae-su (Jeong Du-hong) heads back to the small town where he grew up to attend the funeral of a man who he was close friends with during his years in high sc…Read the entire review

Ellen – The Complete Season Five

Recommended The Fifth & Final Season

In the first season of Ellen, the series was called These Friends of Mine. However, with the second season came many changes, including a different cast and title change. The third season introduces another cast change and continues the same episodic format as the past seasons that look into the crazy daily life of thirty something Ellen Morgan (Ellen DeGeneres) and friends. In season four, Ellen underwent a major lifestyle change in “The Puppy Episode” and declared that she was gay. Since Ellen’s coming out, the direction of the stories have changed, but the overall mood is same. What makes the stories different this season is how they are mainly about Ellen’s new lifestyle. But the comedy still feels like past seasons with Elle…Read the entire review

Highly Recommended The movie

Anorexia and other, related [tag-tec]eatingdisorders[/tag-tec] are one of the ironic curses of our rich and well-fed civilization. In the midst of available food, anorexics (usuallyyoung women) literally starve themselves, trying desperately to shape their bodies to meet a distorted image of & quot;thin and beautiful."No one really knows what causes anorexia; the best theory at themoment is that some combination of genetic predisposition,personality, family behavior, and cultural pressure triggers the [tag-tec]psychological disorder[/tag-tec]. One of the most insidious aspects of [tag-tec]anorexiais[/tag-tec] its ambivalent position in our culture: while we recognize that behavior like binging and purging or drug abuse to lose weight are disordered, we also exalt size-0 models and implicitly associate obsession about weight with the rich, famous, and emulated.
