There is a huge number of “4 Film” collections out this week. We’re only pointing out those that are likely of particular interest to readers of a science fiction and fantasy website.

4 Film Favorites: Draculas | |||||||||

Comments | Blaine: Includes four of the Hammer Dracula films, but I don’t know which four. | ||||||||
4 Film Favorites: Lethal Weapon | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
4 Film Favorites: Matrix Collection | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||

4 Film Favorites: Stephen King | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
Comments | Blaine: There is no official description, but the customer reviews indicate Cat’s Eye, Creepshow, Dolores Claiborne and Dreamcatcher. | ||||||||
4 Film Favorites: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
Comments | Blaine: Includes the three live action films and the one CGI film. In my opinion, the CGI film was the best of the bunch. | ||||||||

Gorgo: Ultimate Collector’s Edition | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
iTunes | |||||||||
Comments | Blaine: I messed up last week. Not only was the Amazon digital release date accurate, the iTunes release date for purchase was also March 12. (The March 19 date I saw was for rentals only.) The digital version was deliberately released a week earlier than the physical copies at all retailers in an effort to curb illegal downloads. | ||||||||
Jackie Chan: Beginnings – The Killer Meteors/New Fist Of Fury | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
Comments | Alex: These are the films Chan was in before he, and most Hong Kong directors, realized that he simply worked better as a comedic actor (in part because he hadn’t quite developed the chops for drama). | ||||||||
Jersey Shore | |||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I’m going with The Hobbit.” Alex says, “The Hobbit is my clear pick this week, though Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo is definitely going to be a rental at some point.”
Loved The Hobbit, but Les Miserables is not to be missed as well.
Does anyone know what makes this Gorgo release the “Ultimate Collector’s Edition?”
Also, the Canadian links (at least, some of them) appear to be broken.
Like I said last week, no way am I buying The Hobbit until the deluxe director’s extended super cut boxed set of all three movies comes out.
