Vacation's over and now it's blog time with something a tad different!

This is for all you TV and film buffs out there. Just recently word has come out about near future DVD releases and I'd like to share a few of the more interesting ones.

First of all finally streeting on August 8th will be Oliver Stone's Alexander. I'm not sure what the delay was but it maybe related to the dual nature of the release itself. Apparently Oliver Stone wanted a broader audience so he created a director's cut which will be released simultaneously with the theatrical version. In this case, the director's cut doesn't mean a longer movie wth additional footage, but rather an edited version where he trims some of Alexander's scenes with Hephaistion. Obviously Mr. Stone wanted to try to garner sales from those offended by reality. To make it easier to determine which is which, there will be two different covers!




Two weeks after that on August 16 Sin City will be released on DVD. You will have a choice of 5 covers for this release. That's right, 5. There's a regular cover



and then there's 4 collectible covers, each one devoted to one of the film's storylines. This cover art strategy for DVDs hasn't been used since A Bug's Life and Scream had different covers for thie VHS releases.





Then on September 6 the TV series Lost will have it's first season out on DVD. As always it will come chock full of extras, but the neatest will probably be new unaired flashbacks that will show more insight into the people on the island.
