Star Wars Trash Compactor Book Ends

Okay, so maybe I was pandering to the prequel haters with that title. What can I say? I’m riding shotgun in the bandwagon. I don’t know about you guys, but I could definitely feature this on my DVD shelf. It’s awesome. Whoever came up with the idea is a modern day genius.

They are 6 inches deep, 12 inches Wide and 7.5 inches high, made of high quality poly-stone, and they’re individually hand painted. They also come with a unique number and certificate of authenticity.

Sadly, these bookends are only for pre-order right now. They start shipping in April 2010 according to the website. Right now they’re on sale for $189.99, originally $199.99. Pricey, but a definite must buy if you want to show off your Star Wars DVD collection or book collection with style.

On sale at StarWarsShop.com

Twilight Twilight is now out on DVD. Teenage girls, fans of the book, and boys wanting to see Kristen Stewart are going wild. It’s sold over 3 million copies on the first day of it’s release alone. Having sold well over 3 million units now, Twilight is now in the top 5 best selling DVDs in the past two years. It’s right up there with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Transformers. Like the movie or not, that is impressive.

To date, Twilight’s theatrical release has grossed nearly $200 million in the United States, and just over $370,000 worldwide. That, plus all the book sales, merchandise sales, and DVD sales means this movie was a success, even if it did have mixed ratings. The movie was such a success that the 2nd movie is currently being worked on, and the 3rd movie already has a release date. The 2nd movie, New Moon, is scheduled to hit theaters on November 20th, 2009. The 3rd movie, Eclipse, is planned and scheduled for a June 30th, 2010 release.

There are 4 books in the Twilight series, so if the 2nd and 3rd movies do well, it’s only a matter of time before the 4th is made. Even though a lot of people bad mouth this movie, and the sequels to be made, they have to remember that the movies are based off books. Books with lots and lots of dedicated fans. It’s almost like Harry Potter…

First up; Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This movie was surrounded by controversy in a lot of places. They even had to take the word “porno” out of the title to put ads on TV and promote the film.

So this movie stars Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen as two best buds from school. They live in a dump, have a crappy car, and work low paying jobs. They’re electricity, heat, and water get shut off, and they come up with a plan to make money. Porn. Miri, Zack, and a few of their friends and hired stars get together to shoot a porno, all while love tenion sparks between Zack and Miri, who have been just friends for years.

All in all, it was a decent movie; it had it’s funny moments, it’s WTF moments, and it’s “romantic” moments. I say romantic, but I’m not sure if that’s the right word. My bottom line on this movie is RENT IT.

So, the Dark Knight is now out on DVD and Blu-ray. Still haven’t seen it? Why not? What the hell is your problem? You think you’re better than a Batman movie? Oh, you went to see Mamma Mia instead? You deserve to not be alive anymore.

Now of course seeing movies on the big screen is always better than watching it at home, but if you happened to not witness the biggest event of the year, you can now at your own home.

The Dark Knight was released on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, November 9th, and not surprisingly, sold like hot cakes. Dark Knight sold 3 million copies on DVD, and 600,000 copies on Blu-ray, on the first day alone! I can account for 1 of the DVD buys.

The economy is in the crapper, people cannot find jobs, but nobody can afford to pass up seeing The Dark Knight.

The Incredible Hulk comes to DVD and Blu-ray today! If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you MUST go out and buy or rent it. Hell, even if you have seen it, you MUST go out and get it. This was one of the best movies of the summer in my opinion. It wasn’t as good as Iron Man or The Dark Knight, but it was still a great movie for action, superhero, and comic book fans. Oh, and a little advice, don’t waste $25 on the 3 Disc Special Edition. Just get the standard version for $15 at Walmart or Circuit City.
