New DVD Releases, 13 Feb 2007
My list:
Feb. 13, 2007
- Beauty and the Beast: Season One (6-disc set)
I imagine there will be some people very happy about this.
- The Departed: Special Edition (widescreen) (2-disc set) (2006)
- The Departed (widescreen) (2006)
The countdown to the Oscars continues. This is one that I really would like to see. Might have to rent it at some point.
- Grosse Pointe: The Complete Series (2-disc set)
Created by the guy who gave you SEX AND THE CITY. It was a WB series, I believe, around the same time as POPULAR was on the air, and drew comparisons. I hear POPULAR was really good — anyone here like that one? Or this?
- Hustle: Season Two (2-disc set)
I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t cracked open Season One yet. In fact, I’m just now finishing up the third season of MI-5. Right after that, though, I want to get to HUSTLE. Looks like a fantastic show from the same people.
- Picket Fences: Season One (6-disc set)
Here’s another one of those shows that a certain cultish following must be foaming at the mouth to see at Best Buy today.
Next week: The first season of FAMILY TIES! Plus, FLUSHED AWAY and the 25th Anniversary Edition of GANDHI.

do yourself a favor and see ‘the departed.’ cori and I caught it this past weekend while it was still in the local cheap theater. it is VERY good. lots of twists and turns and many points where I was almost cringing waiting for what would happen next.

As far as I know, Picket Fences got pulled and won’t be out until summer. I was debating putting it on my Netflix list, so I’d been paying attention to it.

My only purchase this week is going to be the first disc of the second season of “Masters of Horror”. While I don’t like them releasing each as a single disc, I just can’t say no to the series!

I second the DEPARTED recommendation. One of the best movies of 2006, if not THE best. I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t win best picture.

Departed was probably the best movie I saw in 2006. Well, that and Borat. But from a drama standpoint, Departed is a must-watch.

Yeah, I can’t find Picket Fences listed anywhere, either. Looks like it’s not actually out yet.

Hustle is excellent! You should dive right into the first season after you finish MI-5. I’m doing the exact opposite - watching Hustle Season 2 and then will start on the third season of MI-5.

HUSTLE is actaully a better show than MI:5, in much the same way as Angel was better than Buffy (at least after Buffy switched to the WB…)
Hustle is far more fantasy based and a fun time
Also check out Life on Mars if you haven’t already also from the BBC…

You know, I remember seeing some episodes of Popular and liking them. The show was a little more offbeat than a lot of high school dramas.
