These releases will be available on Tuesday, October
19.

First, the genre releases:

• Batman:
  The Animated Series – Secrets of the Caped
  Crusader: This contains four episodes of the
  Batman Animated series, all of which are included in
  Batman:
  The Animated Series – Volume One. Volume two
  ships on January 25; expect a review.
• Creature
  from the Black Lagoon – The Legacy Collection: We
  have plans for this.
• D.A.R.Y.L.:
  I loved the novel as a child, but have never seen the
  movie.
• Dracula:
  This adaptation has Frank Langella and Laurence
  Olivier.
• Godzilla
  7 Pack: Three and five packs are also available.
  This has the 1998 Godzilla, but not the original.
  Man, I hope they clear up the rights to that
  soon.
• Hellboy
  (Director’s Cut): This is a three DVD edition
  with footage not seen in theaters.
• Invisible
  Man Legacy Collection: Again with the plans.
• Justice
  League – The Brave and the Bold: I’ve got all of
  the individual Justice League releases so far, but
  I’m tempted to stop buying them in hopes of
  collections like the Batman one I linked to above. I
  hate not buying TV in full season sets.
• The
  Mummy Legacy Collection: More plans afoot.
• Species
  (Special Edition): I must confess, I actually
  preordered this. Why? Because it has a commentary
  track including Natasha Henstridge. I’ve always
  wondered what she thought of this movie, and it’s
  cheap enough that curiosity got the best of me. We
  do have plans for this, but not in October.
• Stargate
  SG-1 Season 7: It’ll take time, but I assure you
  we’ll get around to reviewing every season of this
  show eventually. (We’re caught up to season
  four.)
• Superman
  – A Little Piece of Home: Four more episodes of
  the animated series. The 18 episode set of the
  entire first season is out on January 25, and that’s
  what I’m waiting for.
• Van
  Helsing (Widescreen Edition): Another one I
  haven’t seen.

Now, the non-genre releases:

• Arrested
  Development – Season One: The only episode I’ve
  seen amused me greatly.
• The
  Basketball Diaries: The reason we’ve heard of
  Leonardo diCaprio.
• Holy
  Batmania!: A documentary on the old Batman series
  with Adam West and Burt Ward.
• Born
  on the Fourth of July: I’ve never seen it, but
  I’ve heard good things about it.
• Due
  South – Season Three: This was a great
  series.
• Ed
  Wood: Johnny Depp as Ed Wood in a Tim Burton
  film. How can it go wrong?
• Eyes
  Without a Face: Criterion Collection. Therefore,
  worth owning, if you can afford it.
• Fat
  Girl: Another Criterion release.
• Garfield
  – The Movie: I deliberately chose not to see
  this. I mention it only because some of our readers
  may have children who wish to own it.
• Greg
  the Bunny – The Complete Series: Another great
  show cancelled before its time.
• It’s
  a Wonderful Red Green Christmas: Why do I find
  Red Green so funny?
• SCTV
  2: A second volume of the classic sketch
  comedy.
• Secret
  Honor: Another Criterion release.
• Spongebob
  Squarepants – Complete Second Season: I’ve seen
  this show, and don’t get the appeal.
• Straw
  Dogs: Another movie I’ve heard great things about
  but haven’t seen.
• Tom
  and Jerry – The Spotlight Collection: It’s a two
  DVD set that, oddly, doesn’t appeal to me. I love a
  lot of classic animation, but not this.
• The
  Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection: A 14 DVD
  set.
• Wacky
  Races – The Complete Series: It’s official: any
  show can be profitable on DVD.
• The
  Wong Kar Wai Collection: The only title in this
  set I’ve seen is Chungking Express, and I
  love it. Based on the IMDB ratings, the others are
  similar in quality. All but Chungking
  Express were produced by Kino International, a
  company I’m quite impressed with. (Chungking
  Express is available in a Kino box set through a
  special arrangement with the rights holder.)
