This Week on DVD: Wall-E, Tropic Thunder, Encounters at the End of the World
There are two major releases on DVD this week that will probably override all others for most people: Pixar’s Wall-E, and Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder (with a new Unrated Director’s Cut). It’s also a good week for documentaries though, with Werner Herzog’s Antarctica film Encounters at the End of the World coming out, along with Alex Gibney’s Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson and the critically-acclaimed Up The Yangtze. Also Heathers is out on Blu-ray, and there are special box sets available for the Monty Python and 300 fans on your Christmas shopping list.

Posted by Sean on November 18th, 20081. Wall-E will go in my queue.
2. Hadn’t heard of that Wu-Tang doc and I’ll check that out. Oh yes.
3. What’s with two Martin Lawrence flicks in one day!? I’m not sure I understand the reasoning studios put into their BD releases.

Posted by paulieq on November 18th, 2008Sean whats with that blur pic? Time to upgrade that my friend.
Posted by Neil M on November 18th, 2008I still think Wall-E is a tad overrated, as in i dont think its Best Picture quality or the best Pixar film or anything… I like it better now than the first time I saw it that for sure…
but I will say that the DVD package is one of the best, if not the best, of any movie this year (talking of the 2 disc and/or Blu Ray versions)… the sound editing featurette on disc one and the Pixar Story 90 minute doc on disc two alone earn it that spot for me. A lot of movies have very good long docs on their bonus discs but these ones are especially great.
