DVDs: Homer, a Gaiman fantasy, Halloween Remade, B-Movie Heaven

DVDs

Simpsons the Movie starring Homer Simpson, Drone from Sector 7G. I have not seen this yet. I received my own copy yesterday as a Christmas gift so at least I want have to wait for a Library copy.

Stardust starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, Robert DeNiro, Sienna Miller, Ricky Gervais. Tristan travels into a fairy land to recover a fallen star in hopes of winning a girl's hand. Turns out the star takes the form of a girl. Also turns out that a wicked queen wants the star to achieve immortality. Trouble ensues. That Sienna Miller is a good looking gal.

Halloween starring Malcolm McDowell, Brad Dourif. A remake directed by Rob Zombie. As remakes go this is supposed to be quite good. If you like this picture we have a couple other Zombie directed films to try, House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects, both of which are sitting unwatched on my desk at home.

Last Sentinel starring Don Wilson, Bokeem Woodbine, Keith David. What a cast! Electronically enhanced drone police take over the world. What a concept! Beautiful rebel learns to fight the drones to save mankind. What a plot! Bought from Arrow for $16.60. 16.60!? Soylent Green and Wassup Rockers were cheaper than that!
