04.21.07 by ScottC @ 7:12 am    Alias - The Complete Fifth Season. CIA agent Sydney Bristow has a lot to deal with in this final season. It's not exactly healthy to be her boyfriend. And she finds out she's pregnant. She gets an early start on the whole maternal thing when she has to help Rachel Gibson (Rachael Nichols) come to terms with working for a shadowy group posing as the CIA, something Sydney is all too familiar with. Together with the maverick agent Tom Grace and spy daddy Jack Bristow (Victor Garber), they will fight to stop arch nemesis Arvin Sloane from possessing the greatest creation of the Renaissance genius Milo Rambaldi. Buena Vista has packaged all 18 ass-kicking episodes with plenty of extras as always. There are commentaries on four episodes, a behind the scenes featurette at the 100th episode, and at the music for the series. You also get a look at the new recruit Rachael Nichols, the master of McGuffins, Rambaldi, and of course, a blooper reel. Buy it from Amazon. Categorized as: DVD and Headsup and TV

Dindrane's Anime Warnings:
Released by: ADV My Advice: Get it.  In this science-fiction anime version of Moby Dick, it's the year 4699, and a young researcher named Dew is collecting daily data on an icy planet known as Windmill. Dew is told that his duties are complete, and he is due to be reassigned to a new mission, which is downloaded directly into his cybernetic parts. Just as he's receiving the information, however, the frozen peace of the ice world is broken, as a giant white shape, apparently some kind of massive robotic ship, blasts up through the ice, and abducts Dew. The next time we see him, his cyborg-like human structure is being rebuilt by strange machines he does not seem to recognize: he is apparently inside the giant white ship, and a voice announces to him that he is now joined to them. But how? And why? And what can Our Hero do to rescue himself from… whatever awaits him at the hands of the strange aliens? Meanwhile, we meet Lucky, a stowaway out of Nantucket, traveling to find the mad Captain Ahab who is needed on Lucky's home planet. Ahab and his men are "whale hunters," scavengers who recycle finds from derelict ships. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

03.28.07 by ScottC @ 11:50 pm  Film: Directed by Stewart Bird and Deborah Shaffer Features:
Released by: Docurama. My Advice: Rent It. Early in the last century, a new labor union began. They accepted everyone who was members of the working class: blacks, women, immigrants. They weren't interested in working within the system like the AFL or the Teamsters. They wanted to change the world, and make it so the workers benefited from American prosperity, not the few heartless robber barons that ran the monopolies and the government that aided and abided them. Whether they were singing in solidarity or busting the heads of some strike busters, they were a force to be reckoned with. But while the organization bickered over the impact of the Russian Revolution, the authorities struck back and used patriotic sentiment and the sweeping powers generated by The Great War. The organization was mortally crippled, but their legacy lives on. They were the International Workers of the World, the I.W.W. They were The Wobblies. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews
