December 10, 2007; 11:36pm PST
Robocop: 20th Anniversary Steelbook EditionIt's hard to believe Robocop is now 20-years old. Regardless of its age, the movie has a great storyline and now with the extended cut, you get all the blood and guts and raw violence that was originally included. This particular 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition is also a Steelbook Edition, which looks fantastic.

Jesse Stone: Night Passage DigitalDingus DVD Review
December 7, 2007; 11:55pm PST
Jesse Stone: Night PassageTom Selleck reprises his role in Jesse Stone: Night Passage. This is the prequel to Jesse Stone: Stone Cold, which gives more information on Jesse Stone's history, and just how and why he became chief of police in Paradise. What's also new in this second installment of Jesse Stone, is the addition of a few well-known actors which give this Jesse Stone film more bite than the last. The characters from the last film are also more comfortable with each other, which makes this prequel a must-see for fans of this series.

Parker's novels about Jesse Stone, a former L.A. homicide detective, who travels across the country to a small town of Paradise, MA to become their police chief. Think a small town won't have any problems? Think again.

October 18, 2007; 11:47pm PST
The Day After Tomorrow - 2-Disc Steelbook EditionThe Day After Tomorrow gives you superstorms, special effects, and enough ice to keep your favorite soft drink icey-cold for a few centuries. What happens when big pieces of ice melt? Well, a lot of bad things. It's up to an observant climatologist to convince the powers that be, the world is headed for some major weather problems. If you have a widescreen television, this is certainly the movie to watch on it.
