Over the past few weeks Disney has announced a number of new DVDs and all the cover art and info is below. The info is provided by the studio and all the images can be clicked on for a high resolution version.

 

The only shocking thing that you’ll discover is season three of “Lost” doesn’t arrive until December! While this makes sense to some executive on the lot… I’ll say this is one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in a long time. This past season was possibly the best yet and rather than let people get caught up and ready for season four.... they're going to let the momentum slip away.

 

Yes, I realize the new season doesn’t start until late January of ‘08. But this set should be coming out in October, or worst case, early November. NOT December 11th. Sorry Disney… bad decision.

 

I’m going to try and get another cover art article posted tomorrow…but it might be Sunday. I’m playing major catch-up due to the 4th Holiday and I have a lot that has to get done…

 

Again, I hope you all had a great holiday.

The Lookout DVD

DVD and Blu-ray Disc® August 14th

 

Bust open the vault for the August 14th DVD and Blu-ray Disc debut of The

Lookout, Miramax Home Entertainment’s critically-acclaimed bank heist thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels. This “haunting and hypnotic film” (according to Rolling Stone) comes with knockout bonus features including “Behind the Mind of Chris Pratt”.

 

The Lookout stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (TV’s “3rd Rock From the Sun,” “Brick”) as Chris Pratt, a once-proud high school hockey standout whose short-term memory fades away following a brutal car crash. With his best days behind him, Chris toils as a nighttime janitor at a local bank until a group of crooks seduce him into carrying out their heist plans.

 

The Lookout boasts an eclectic cast of characters that highlight the suspenseful story. Veteran film, TV and Broadway star Jeff Daniels (“Good Night, and Good Luck”, “The Squid and the Whale”) plays Chris’ sardonic, blind roommate with a dark past. Up-and-coming starlet Isla Fisher (“Wedding Crashers”) employs her considerable charms to lure Chris into the gang, which is led by Gary, played by Matthew Goode (“Match Point”).

 

Bonus features include “Behind the Mind of Chris Pratt”, an exploration of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s intense portrayal of the lead character, the “Sequencing The Lookout“ making-of featurette, and audio commentaries from filmmaker Scott Frank and cinematographer Alar Kivilo (“The Lake House”). The Lookout sees Scott Frank making his directorial debut. Frank garnered a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar®- nomination for Steven Soderbergh’s 1998 caper “Out of Sight.”

 

The Lookout DVD is priced at $29.99 in and the Blu-ray Disc is priced at $34.99.

BONUS FEATURES:

  • “Behind the Mind of Chris Pratt”
  • A feature exploring Joseph Gordon Levitt’s critically-acclaimed portrayal of the main character
  • “Sequencing The Lookout“

Ugly Betty: The Complete First Season - The Bettyfied Edition DVD

August 21, 2007

 

America is cheering for vibrant overachiever Betty Suarez a.k.a. Ugly Betty, played by America Ferrera (“The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”). Winner of two Golden Globes , Ugly Betty received statuettes for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for Ferrera.

Away from the glitz of Manhattan, Betty lives in Queens with her family—her loving father Ignacio (Tony Plana), spitfire sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) and fashion-obsessed nephew Justin (Mark Indelicato)—who lend her support whenever she is in need.

 

Get into the MODE with 23 episodes on this 6-disc DVD. “Must-have” bonus features include “Becoming Ugly”, in which Ferrera and the cast discuss what it means to get Bettyfied.
