06.13.07 by Widge @ 3:58 am  A quick dip into the Needcoffee Swag Contest and I pull out...oh, look, a spare copy of The Good Shepherd on DVD. Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Robert DeNiro, a slew of other folks and it was directed by DeNiro to boot. What a deal. Our spare swag is a cure for some extra shelf space at your place. So enter and win. You can do so after the break. Categorized as: Contests and DVD

06.06.07 by Widge @ 12:26 am Dave McKean is amazing. I've mentioned getting a chance to see his videos before. And what did I say? I wanted a McKean films DVD. The Neil reports that I'm going to get my wish, apparently. A DVD of his stuff should be ready by San Diego. Rock. On. And looking on Amazon...what do I see? I think this is it, available now to pre-order! Badass! Mr. Gaiman was also nice enough to point out this Squidoo lens where a bunch of YouTubes of McKean films are posted (that's where I got the one above, the lovely "The Week Before"). His very cool interp of Shakespeare's Sonnet 138 comes after the break. Categorized as: DVD and Headsup and Stimuli

05.19.07 by Widge @ 5:32 pm  Yes, I know, I know. You're all freaking out about Heroes. I know you are, because so many members of the Needcoffee Army have told me personally that they are loving the living hell out of the show. Well, here's your headsup, boys and girls: it's hitting DVD and HD DVD August 28th. And I know you're going to want to snag it, because here's what they tell us about it: The seven-disc DVD set is packed with revealing bonus features, including five featurettes, over 50 deleted scenes plus the 73-minute Tim Kring cut of the original series premiere that has never aired on television and much more. Yes. Full list of bonus bits after the jump. So when you have a moment, if you're going to buy it, buy it through us--because we get kickbacks from Amazon for it. The SRP is $59.98 but you can pre-order through Amazon for $41.99 as I type this. Nice. And if enough of you do, one day I'll make enough money off this site to have time to watch television again.

05.02.07 by HTQ4 @ 12:55 am  Film: Written by Tab Murphy, Bob Tzudiker, Noni White, Henry Mayo, David Reynolds, based on the novel Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs Features:
Released by: Disney Home Entertainment My Advice: Skip it. Tarzan (Linz and, in older form, Goldwyn) was lost at sea and rescued and raised by the Apes in deepest, darkest Africa. He just so happened to make really good friends with an ape named Terk (O'Donnell) and an elephant named Tantor (Knight). Along comes a British expedition composed of an aging researcher named Porter (Hawthorne), a brute of a man named Clayton (Blessed), and the beautiful Jane Porter (Driver). Jane discovers Tarzan, who just so happens to have been wondering why he's different from all the other apes. Through Jane and Porter, he learns that he is human and is forced to decide whether to continue to live among the apes or go with the humans. Oh yeah, since Clayton is only out to kill an ape, Tarzan must save his family from destruction, too. The things I put myself through for you people. I swear... Categorized as: DVD and Reviews
