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.

If you would like to win the original The Prisoner: The Complete Series on Blu-Ray (remember, this will not play on your DVD player, you must have a Blu-ray player), here’s how you enter:

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.

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.

Alien Tresspass opens April 3 in select theaters around the country. Visit the website to find a location near you.
