THE SPECIAL EDITION: 09.22.09

• Featurettes
• Deleted Scenes
• Commentary

Observe and Report has been the funniest movie of the year for me. I don’t want to give anything away, but it involves a shooting. Just the timing of how it played out has only allowed Jody Hill to rise in my cine-geek Hall of Fame. Much like 30 Rock, this film is made and broken by its supporting cast. Great turns from Michael Pena, Aziz Ansari and Patton Oswalt help to shape what has to be the best dark comedy of the year. Sorry, Bobcat.

THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO

Special Features

• Featurettes
• Deleted Scenes

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto began life as a stand-alone
graphic novel from Image Comics. The comic promoted the eventual
arrival of the film that had been promised since “The Devil’s Rejects”
was leaving theaters. Life went on and people found different projects. The DVD/Blu-Ray is finally streeting this week. Get ready for rampant horror references, plus tits. Dear lord, the tits in this thing.

OBSESSIVE DVD NERDS, I BESEECH YOU!
