This week, your dream of owning every episode of MacGyver is finally within reach.
Many reviews compared this favorably to The Goonies, so my curiosity is piqued. A somewhat less creepy application of the motion capture animation behind The Polar Express.

And one of the few CG animated films this year not about talking animals taking on their human oppressors.
Extras include filmmaker commentary and a boatload of featurettes.
With the mind behind Napoleon Dynamite, the writer behind School of Rock and the Jack Black behind Jack Black, you d expect something on the level of those films.

Unfortunately, critics and audiences weren t quite as taken with this as with those. Still, I know my curiosity is going to get the better of me with this one.
Extras include commentary from director Jared Hess, writer Mike White and Jack Black, which might be worth the price of the DVD right there.

There is also a Nacho Libre comic book creator, whatever that is, some featurettes, and something called Jack Sings. Again, probably makes it worth it right there.
Slither

Troma vet James Gunn s gorefest of slapstick hilarity never quite found the audience of, say, When a Stranger Calls, and that may be the true reason why studios don t screen horror movies for critics anymore (this one was, Stranger was not).

The irony is, of course, that critics and preview audiences loved this flick, but it never got the momentum it needed upon release, even with cult figures Nathan Fillion of Firefly and Jenna Fischer of The Office on board. Here s hoping for a better life on DVD.
Fillion does a set tour in the extras, and if you ve seen any of the featurette work he s done for Firefly, you ll be psyched.

He also does commentary with Gunn.
Donald Sutherland gets creepy. Well, more so.

This quickly forgotten horror film had the quaint notion of setting its spook story back in olden times, but that alone did not make anyone actually, you know, like it.
This includes video commentary by the director. Not sure how that s different from your garden variety commentary, but I m sure it s very nice.


In the final season, MacGyver s first name is revealed, just in time for no one to care anymore. I remember though, that he uses a MacGyverism to figure it out and that s pretty cool. I think that s the only part I saw.

Of the entire season.
As usual, no extras for MacGyver. You d think they d include some duct tape, a rubber band and a paper clip with these things.


In this week s long list, which feels weirder, that it s the 25th anniversary of Body Heat or the 15th anniversary of Reservoir Dogs?

Michael Winterbottom s latest dip into controversy follows the true life story of three British Muslims who were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for three years without ever being charged.
A family of not so much overweight as rotund folk crushes the opposition by forming one giant superfamily out of their bodies and gathering downhill momentum. Actually, it s about a family going on a road trip, but I think I m going to pitch my version to some anime writers.


Saiyuki Reload Gunlock (Vol. 4)
Makes sense. This is the only funny thing left on SNL.
