After a week off for the Fourth of July, the DVD picks are back with a nice lineup of big comedies, cartoons, horror movies and Matthew McConaughey’s hair. It’s hard to think of a better belated birthday present to America than that DVD rundown.
But that’s not all. There’s also a couple of critically acclaimed Cable Series unleashing their latest seasons on DVD and the absolute worst DVD you’ll see anywhere.

Every year a new zombie movie pops up out of the grave, whether it’s satiric (Shaun of the Dead), humorously indie (Zombieland), disappointingly bad (Undead), or impressively scary (the Dawn of the Dead remake and their pants-crappingly fast zombies). With so many zombie films in existence, it’s challenging to stand out in the genre and bring something fresh (well, as fresh as a rotting corpse can be, anyway) to the table.

I think at some point a drinking game will be created for every time Hollywood comes up with another movie to produce in 3-D. It seems like every reboot, remake, or third installment of a trilogy has to be in glorious 3-D. Personally, the trend has grown tiresome in my eyes, but studios won’t let it die. According to Bloody Disgusting, talk has emerged about making another film in the popular horror series, The Ring.
