It’s Happening This Week on DVD
October 7, 2008 by brian
The Happening is this week’s big sci-fi release, thanks to IMDB for the heads up. M. Night Shyamalan’s latest played to mediocre reviews but it’s his first R-rated film. The DVD contains extras that “couldn’t be shown” in theaters.
Ray Harryhausen fans get treats as the 50th Anniversary edition of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad drops, as does the Harryhausen DVD Gift Set which includes three films in color and black and white:It Came from Beneath the Sea, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers,and 20 Million Miles to Earth.
It comes with a 7-inch tall collectible figure of Ymir from 20 Million Miles – Neato! Good, good stuff. DVD reviewer James Plath says it’s very fragile though, so be careful with Ymir.
SFUniverse readers will also no doubt be interested in Season 1 of Doctor Who spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures. It’s a very fun, family friendly show with monsters the kiddies will enjoy and enough Doctor references to keep adults entertained. They even found K-9! I want a robot dog.
yeah robotic dogs would be good for the kids no pooping, fleas, ticks, or the mange.
What was up w/that old lady in the isolated rural farm house? She seemed crazy even before the wind caught her. My wife & I were thinking, that was M.Night’s homage to some famous Hitchcock or King character–We just couldn’t pinpoint which one.
–Godspeed–
