New Geek DVD Day - 06/09/09

Ok, so this week has almost no good Geek DVD releases at all.  This week's selections are really stretching the term geeky, but it's the best I could do folks.  Sorry.  Not every week can be a geeky entertainment goldmine.

 



 

The Good:  The International

 

Why It's Good:  Ok, so The International is just your standard Hollywood action/thriller.  But it stars Clive Owen, and he was badass in Sin City and Children of Men, so it's probably worth a viewing.

 



 

The Badass:  Predator 2 on Blu-ray

 

Why it's Badass:  Sure, Predator 2 wasn't nearly as cool as the original predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger was, but it was at least a hell of a lot better than the first Aliens vs. Predator movie was.  Plus,  watching Danny Glover take on a Predator is thoroughly entertaining because you just know he's "too old for this shit", but he still manages to whoop ass.  And now you can see it all in high definition glory.  That's gotta make this worth seeing again at least once.

 



 

The Awesome:  Macho Madness - The Ultimate Randy Savage Collection

 

Why It's Awesome:  Ok, not everyone is a fan of professional wrestling.  That's ok, nobody's perfect.  Yes, I happen to be a fan of Wrestling.  I'm not ashamed to admit it.  I prefer the classic wrestlers to most of the modern guys, but I still watch the shows on occasion.  Regardless of whether you've ever enjoyed two oiled up muscle bound men pretend to beat the crap out of each other though, you'll have to admit that the Macho Man Randy Savage is at the very least a highly entertaining character.  Aside from being an awesome wrestler, he's well known for being the Slim Jim guy and he even had a cameo in the first Spider-man movie as the wrestler Bonesaw McGraw. 

 

This set collects some of the Macho Man's greatest matches ever.  You know you want it.  Oooooooohh yeeeeaaaahhhhh!
