Oh boy—fans of the classic-era James Bond films just might have something to draw them to the upcoming (and currently untitled) James Bond 23, the third film in the Daniel Craig iteration of the long-running franchise: classic Bond super villain and arch nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld (you know, the guy that Dr. Evil was partly based upon) might be making an appearance in the Sam Mendes-directed film.

It’s that time of year again. The time where the networks begin unleashing their previous season TV on DVD box sets in order to get you ready for the upcoming TV season…or to burn off the shows that didn’t work last year.
This week it’s a pretty even split between the holdovers and the castaways, enough to make you think it’s sweeps week all over again.
All that, plus three tiny little independent movies and the wonderful moment where a huge international star goes straight-to-DVD!
Check it all out below…

Not only that, but season five of everyone’s favorite Showtime Serial Killer, two excellent Special Editions and the worst DVD of the week!

As you make recall, SETI (the nonprofit Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute) is a group which is dedicated to discovering extra-terrestrial life in the universe, as made famous in the Jodi Foster film, Contact. And, if you follow the news, you’ll recall that funding for the Alien Telescope Array, used to search for that extraterrestrial life, was shut down this year due to budgetary restraints. Well, it turns out that Jodi Foster, star of Contact, has rushed in to the rescue.

It’s a bit of a nerd Nirvana on DVD this week as three different sci-fi/fantasy/comic book parodies all arrive at once with the releases of Paul, Your Highness, and Super. So get your condescending laughs ready.
For those not looking for the geek-parody genre in order to fulfill their home entertainment desire, there are even more feature films hitting shelves this week, plus another that suffered the sad fate of having its premiere in stores.
