The Good: Dead Space: Downfall
Why It's Good: This is a prequel to the video game Dead Space that just came out last week. The movie is an animated feature which is a prequel to the events that take place in the game. Reviews of the film have been fairly positive, making sure to note how brutually violent and bloody the horror story is (as if the severed arm on the cover wasn't enough warning for you). Plus, the voice cast includes the lady who voices Asajj Ventress in the Star Wars: Clone Wars series (Nika Futterman) as well as Bruce Boxleitner (Tron) and Kelly Hu (X2, Scorpion King, Robot Chicken).
The Badass: Zombie Strippers (Unrated Special Edition)
Why It's Badass: Zombies, the walking dead. Devourers of human flesh that roam the earth mindlessly looking for new victims. Strippers, women who get paid to take their clothes off and dance to bad music. You'd think these two things have nothing in common and should never cross pathes in this world...and you'd be wrong. Defying all logic, a film has been made that stars both zombies and strippers, and I would argue the world is a better place for it. Don't believe me? Just check out the trailer. Starring Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund, this movie is fairly simple in it's plot. A deadly virus gets out, it turns people into zombies, those zombies attack a strip club, all hell breaks loose. Do you really need more to go on than that to make you want to see this movie? I sure don't.
The Awesome: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - 20th Anniversary Edition
Why It's Awesome: If you've never seen an episode of MST3K before, you need to stop what you're doing right now. Stop reading this site, go home sick from work, go to a rental store and pick up MST3K The Movie. I'm not joking here. You really do need to stop what you're doing and go watch this show. If you've never seen MST ever, you're missing out on one of the greatest geek things of all time. The show is about a man who is trapped on a space station and is forced to watch really crappy old movies. His only companions are two witty robots. Together, the three of them lampoon some of the worst films ever made, and out of this comic genius is born.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the show, this new box set comes with four of the most popular episodes from the series as well as 4 custom lobby cards and (coolest of all) a mini statue of the robot Crow. It's a definite must have for fans of both sci-fi and comedy. And at a price of only $50, it's totally worth it!
