02.21.08 by Cosette @ 1:54 am   Jason Statham and Ryan Phillippe are cops going up against Wesley Snipes. There's a heist and there's guns. You really shouldn't need any more information than that to know it's got to be worth a rental, right? But if you insist, here's what they tell us: Jason Statham (Crank), Ryan Phillippe (Breach) and Wesley Snipes (Blade) star in Chaos, an action-packed, heist thriller about two detectives who team-up in pursuit of a bank robber who knows too much about the inner workings of the police department. In Seattle, Detective Quentin Conners (Statham) is unfairly suspended and his partner quits the force after a tragic shooting involving a hostage. When a bank heist turns into another hostage situation, Conners is called back to duty and assigned a new partner, rookie Shane Dekker (Phillippe). When the robbers, led by Lorenz (Snipes), escape the scene with no cash in hand, the detectives soon learn that a virus was planted in the bank’s computer system. The virus removes one billion dollars from various private accounts, using the principle of the Chaos Theory. Now, the race is on to find Lorenz and the rest of his crew before it’s too late. We've got two copies to give away here. You know the drill...so get to it! Categorized as: Contests

02.20.08 by Widge @ 5:15 am  I must admit, after the heartbreak of the first film, it would take more than just an ass-kicking Milla Jovovich to bring me back to the fold. And the makers of this film did their damnedest to get me again by saying, "Widge, look, it's cool: Mad Max with zombies!" And you know what? I am weak. So, so weak. On this release, you get: deleted scenes; a sneak peek at Degeneration, the CG-animated feature; an audio commentary; and a mini-slew of making-of featurettes. So if you want to check it on on Region 2 DVD, we can help you out here. Categorized as: Contests

02.19.08 by Widge @ 4:54 pm  Okay, so, parents. Let's talk to you for just a moment here. How many times a day do you find yourself saying to your child, "No, Timmy, we cannot have a python in the house," followed by "Because I said so," (because let's face it, do you really want to go into details on why it's a bad idea?), then followed by, as an aside to your spouse, "I told you we shouldn't have let him watch the Discovery Channel!" But for those of you who want to give Timmy something to do--and you own a Nintendo DS--or maybe just for yourself to do, we're not particular--we've got a copy of the game Pet Pals: Animal Doctor to give away. You get to deal with thirty medical cases created by real-life veterinarians. Perform tests, care for the animals, heal them. See how you do--and hey, the good news is if you screw up--it's a virtual pet! Just hit reset (or the equivalent button). This is out from Majesco. Want to win a copy for yourself? Because we've got one to give away. Enter to win already. The virtual terriers need you! Categorized as: Contests

02.18.08 by Widge @ 1:23 am  Okay, here's a mystery. And maybe this has crossed some of your minds as well. Apart from this new double-disc ubermongo edition which we'll discuss in a moment...who keeps buying Thriller? I mean, honestly, if you look at its track record, it keeps re-entering the charts in odd places and at odd times. You'd think with so many copies sold, there would be enough to pretty much cover everybody, and then when people died, their copies would get passed on so there wouldn't be this ongoing purchasing of the album. I'm not saying it's a bad album (that would be his next release--oh! I kill me), it's quite the opposite, but damn, people. It's sold a lot of copies. I'm just saying. And...it's going to sell a few more, methinks. No doubt due to this 25th Anniversary Edition, with a CD and DVD. Here's what they tell us is on it: Categorized as: Contests
