Andy Richter Comes to DVD

One of the best cancelled shows, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, finally comes out on DVD March 24th! If you're a fan, creator Victor Fresco has a new similarly-themed show called Better Off Ted (which also co-stars Jonathan Slavin) coming to ABC. Now if only they could release Andy Barker P.I. on DVD as well.

LOST Returns Tonight

It's finally back! The two hour fifth-season premiere, entitled Because You Left/The Lie, airs tonight at 9/8c on ABC. Jack and Ben try to reunite the Oceanic 6 for a return to the island to save the remaining survivors, while those survivors feel the effects of the island's move. Later, they come under attack by unknown forces. Meanwhile, Hurley and Sayid are on the run from police; and Kate gets some shocking advice from an old friend to ensure that "the lie" remains safe. Because You Left was written by Carlton Cuse/Damon Lindelof and directed by Stephen Williams. The Lie was written by Edward Kitsis/Adam Horowitz and directed by Jack Bender. There will be a recap episode at 8/7c as well.

My Top 10 Movies of 2008

I thought I would wait until the year was actually over to do my list. These are not in any particular order. 

The Visitor

WALL-E

The Dark Knight

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

The Fall

Milk

The Wackness

Slumdog Millionaire

The Wrestler

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Golden Globes Tonight

I'm pulling for Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, and Waltz with Bashir to win their categories. The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards air tonight at 8/9c on NBC.

ABC Does Something Right

Even though they tend to cancel their best shows (Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone) in favor of reality-based crap, ABC did pick up Scrubs for a final season after NBC cancelled it. It premieres tonight at 9/8c. Here's hoping this trend continues with other networks looking at opportunities to bring shows back from the dead.

My New Favorite Color is Blu

I finally upgraded to hi-def when I got a Blu-ray player on black friday. I'm glad the hi-def war is over because watching movies in high definition is cinematic bliss. After extensive research I went with the Sony S350. It's pretty amazing and if you can find one at a good price I highly recommend it. Now for some nerd talk: it offers full 1080p, 24p true cinema output, profile 2.0, decodes PCM, DolbyTrueHD, and DTS-HD audio. The best looking discs I have watched so far are Transformers, I Robot, and Wall-E (coincidentally all robot movies). I haven't gotten through all my discs yet. I'm most looking forward to checking out Sleeping Beauty to see traditional animation in HD.
