The 1968 series stars Patrick McGoohan as a man caught in a nightmare. After leaving his super-secret job, he is kidnapped and wakes up in The Village, a happy, Waldenesque town where people are numbers and no one is allowed to think for themselves. Under the watchful eye of Big Brother, Number Six, as he is labeled, must decode the secret of The Village so he can escape and get back to the real world. . . that is if the real world still exists to return to.

This Blu-ray features a newly remixed 5.1 surround sound track and hours of bonus footage including:

• ‘Don’t Knock Yourself Out’: a feature-length documentary chronicling the production
• Two Brand-New Featurettes: ‘The Pink Prisoner’ and ‘You Make Sure it Fits!’
• Newly restored original edit of ‘Arrival’ with an optional music-only soundtrack featuring Wilfred Josephs’ complete and abandoned score
• Ooriginal edit of ‘The Chimes of Big Ben’
• Production crew audio commentaries on seven episodes
• Archive textless material, including the title sequence with clean  themes by Ron Grainer, Wilfred Josephs and Robert Farnon
• Image Archive with over 1200 stills
• Production Paperwork Archive, featuring scripts, call sheets and press releases (DVD-ROM Feature).

I love behind the scenes materials, so that DVD-Rom feature makes me giddy with joy.

Stargate Atlantis

If you’ll recall, some months ago, MGM asked fans to vote for their favorite Stargate Atlantis episodes for inclusion on this DVD. I don’t know if it was fate or more than a little nudging from a higher power but the two episodes that were chosen were the first and last of the series.

This Blu-ray disc includes the pilot episode, Rising and Enemy at the Gate and I imagine they look better than ever.  If you’d like to win this Stargate Atlantis: Fans’ Choice, simply leave a comment in on this post and it would be even better if you mention your favorite episode (but you don’t have to.)

Remember this is a BLU-RAY disc and will not play in regular DVD players.

Deadline to enter is August 9 at midnight PST. US residents only. Winner will be chosen at random and will have 1 week to respond to the notification email.

Don’t want to wait? You can order Stargate Atlantis: Fans’ Choice right now at Amazon.com.

In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one of the students, a mysterious girl who seems to hear whispered voices, fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead.

Fast forward 50 years to the present: A new generation of students examines the contents of the time capsule and the girl’s cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Myles. But it is Caleb’s father, professor Ted Myles (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As Ted further unravels the document’s secrets, he realizes it foretells three additional events—the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve Ted and his son.

When Ted’s attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction from taking place.

Would you like to win Knowing on DVD? All you have to do is leave a comment on this post with the name of one of your favorite thrillers, scifi or otherwise.

The contest ends on July 8 midnight PST. US entries only please. Five winners will be chosen at random and notified by email shortly after the closing date. Good luck.

I give you, Alien Trespass starring Eric McCormack as the intrepid astronomer, Ted and Jenni Baird as Tammy the diner waitress. See the saucer crash! See the alien attack! See Eric McCormack shoot laser beams out of some cool alien tool. It’s all here in the documentary that looks strangely like a 1950’s B-movie. And it’s all from R.W. Goodwin, executive producer of The X-Files and Tru Calling. Now that’s a man who knows his weird.

Now you can win won of two Alien Tresspass movie posters autographed by R.W. Goodwin himself! See the picture in the corner of this post? Well, that’s not it. But it’s something like that and if you’re a B-Movie fan you’ll love it because it’s faux-vintage cool.

To enter, all you have to do is tell me the name of your favorite B-Movie in the comments below. Two winners will be chosen by random draw. Contest ends at midnight PST on April 3. US entries only, please.
