RT on DVD: Get Smart, Futurama: Bender's Game and the Obama DVD Controversy
7. Shrek the Halls - N/A
Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona and their friends gather to celebrate the Shrek family's first Christmas in this holiday special that first aired last November. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas reprise their roles from the Shrek feature films in this 30 minute program. But considering its brief runtime and too-light smattering of special features, Shrek the Halls may be a worthwhile investment for strictly die-hard fans of the franchise.

on Nov 03 2008 04:33 PM A Christmas Story is a definate buy. What the hell's with a "Waterworld" extended cut? Shrek the Halls was a pleasent surprise, but not worth buying. No comment on the Obama DVD except "No". And I ain't got no interest in "Get Smart". Good job Ms. Yamato. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 03 2008 04:34 PM I'm just picking up a couple of catalog titles on Blu-Ray. Monster's Ball and Planet of the Apes (the original one). I hated Get Smart so very very much. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 03 2008 05:31 PM Hopefully Bender's Game is better than Beast With a Billion Backs. That movie was a severe disappointment. Not bad, but more on Family Guy's level rather than Futurama's. Somehow I think I'm going to be disappointed again. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 03 2008 06:39 PM I'm getting Transsiberian tommorow, YAY! But. . . will I watch that, or election returns. . . I still don't know! (Reply to this) |

on Nov 03 2008 10:50 PM Oh sweet, the new Futurama movie! I loved Bender's Big Score, which worked as an actual movie, but was disappointed by The Beast With a Billion Backs, which felt like an episode dragged out to 90 minutes. Hopefully Bender's Game will follow the former and not the latter. Anyway, rental queue, here I come! (Reply to this) |

on Nov 03 2008 11:51 PM Oh great an extended cut of one of the worst movies ever. Why do they do that to bad films (like Alexander)? Making a bad movie longer seldom if ever makes it more enjoyable. However yay to Transsiberian, I will be getting that, and I enjoyed Get Smart, but not enough to buy it. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 04 2008 07:29 AM I thought Get Smart was over rated, I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was vert good. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 04 2008 09:41 AM jokerofva, I think you mean one of the best christmas movies... ENOUGH SAID! (Reply to this) |

on Nov 04 2008 10:29 AM Get Smart was good just to see once, Ebert giving 3.5/4 was wrong, it was more 3/4. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 04 2008 11:40 AM Just got done watching Bender's game, and i have to say I was VERY happy with it. I've been a Futurama fan for as long as i can remember, in my opinion its best episodes were equal to if not beyond the greatness of Simpsons' best years, despite the clear discrepancy in the number of years both have been on tv. I was a little let down by Big score, and Billion Backs made me want to kill myself, but i wanted to rewatch Bender's Game as soon as it was over. It had everything you want from Futurama: great visual gags, memorable quotes and really nice writing. Definitely recommend everyone check it out, especially if you have had your hopes crushed by the last two films. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 05 2008 05:07 AM Get Smart= Not worth a place in a dvd collection, rent it. Benders game= Lots of fun but not worth a blu-ray copy, regular dvd quality very good. A Christmas Story= If your old enough to remember many Christmas pasts you will appreciate and love this charming film, kids do relate to this movie. Formats: boxed set regular dvd, HDdvd and blu-ray a little overkill for a simple film. Squeeze every dollar you can out of the consumer! (Reply to this) |
on Nov 07 2008 06:57 PM I'm glad to see the new Futurama movie is out on Blu-Ray. I can't wait to get my copy. I have high expectations and really enjoyed the previous two (unlike every other RTer who commented above me). (Reply to this) |
