DVD/Blu-ray:

• Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (blu) – This most excellent blast from the past is a righteous addition to any blu-ray collection. Be excellent to one another, and party on dudes!
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1,2, 3 (blu) – Another blast from the past. All three live action turtles moves in one handy package
• Black Lagoon: The complete set (blu/dvd) – This excellent anime is about a small band of heroes for hire and their crazy adventures. Very nice animation and music, with likable characters and good stories make this an great choice. Just not for the kids, Revy swears … a lot.
• Brave (blu/dvd) – While not Pixar’s finest, it is still very good. And this blu-ray has tons of quality extras
• Lawrence of Arabia (blu/dvd) – This film is held in wide regard as one of the best photographed films, where the desert environment is as much a part of the film as the actors and story. This newly restored edition is a worthy purchase for anyone who enjoys gorgeous cinematography.
• Mass Effect: Paragon Lost (blu/dvd) – This story follows James Vega as he and his squad try to protect a colony from The Collectors. It also serves as a bridge into ME3.
• Pixar Short Films Vol. 2 (blu/dvd) – This collects the 12 most recent shorts with commentary, and 7 student films from the top talents of Pixar also with excellent commentary  If you like Pixar and or animation these are very worth getting.
• Serial Experiments Lain: The Complete Series (blu) – A very VERY odd series that is about a girl’s existential crisis as the digital and physical worlds collide
• The Watch (blu/dvd) – Four bumbling friends uncover an alien plot to destroy the earth. Hilarity ensues – well that’s the idea at least.
