RT on DVD: Watch Uwe Boll Box Critic, Heroes Season Two Clips

It's a good week to catch up on your favorite shows before the new TV season begins (Heroes Season Two) and a good week to satisfy your curiosity for a certain guilty pleasure (Uwe Boll's Postal). Read on for exclusive clips from Heroes Season Two and Postal, and find out what new releases you should be looking for this week on DVD, including Redbelt, What Happens in Vegas, Son of Rambow, and more!

NBC's Heroes was a pop culture phenomenon from the get-go, a riveting comic book come to life that followed a host of heroes -- and villains -- as they gradually developed their powers. Season 2, on DVD this week, continues the epic story as the line between good and evil becomes blurred, new characters emerge, and the fate of the world once more lies in the hands of Peter Petrelli.

We've snagged an exclusive clip from the Heroes Season Two DVD release, in which cast member Zachary Quinto (who will also appear as Spock in next year's Star Trek) sheds light into the motivations of the show's preeminent villain: the all-powerful sociopath (we think he's just misunderstood) Sylar.



But wait, there's more! We've got another exclusive bonus clip for you from another of this week's most anticipated --- and notorious --- titles: Postal, from director-businessman-pugilist Uwe Boll. (Get an intriguing rare glimpse into the mind of Boll in our interview here.) Postal, adapted from the video game of the same name, offers an irreverent, bawdy, and violent satire of American society and politics made the only way Uwe Boll could have done it: with a star-crossed romance between George W. and Osama bin Laden, full frontal Dave Foley, Verne Troyer as himself, and a cameo by none other than...Uwe Boll!

As a treat for our readers, we exclusively bring you a sneak peek at the full "Raging Boll" bonus feature from the DVD release of Postal. Watch and see why Uwe earned his pugilistic nickname, as he enters the ring to go head-to-head with Something Awful critic Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka!





Click on for this week's exciting new releases, including What Happens in Vegas, Redbelt and more!

I will definitely pick up Entourage this week, I might get HEROES season 2 even though it wasn't very good and kind of sucks compared to the first season (a total rip-off of WATCHMEN). I am getting Red belt tomorrow in the mail from Netflix. Maybe I will rent Son of Rambow. Also I love A Nightmare Before Christmas and I have never bought it before, so maybe I will finally pick that up on Blu-Ray. Why no DVD news?!?!?- Could have talked about the CASABLANCA Blu ray box set coming out, or the HB II 3 disc set or the Incredible Hulk 3 disc set coming out, even though the Incredible Hulk wasnt that good.

I know, I know...no DVD news again! I'm doing some hard thinking about this column, my friend. Trying to figure out how best to present all of this info.

But yes, go get Son of Rambow!

I'll try to do right by you next week.

Oh, how could I forget The Adventure of Robin Hood on Blu-Ray and the infamous Salo on Criterion DVD. I can't wait to see that one.

Son of Rambow only played for a week in vegas, so I have been waiting for the dvd. It looks as charming as Millions. The Jack bust looks sweet! I think I may get aka chong just to piss off the feds.

Looking into the bust question. Also, is it me or has Salo's infamy and appeal worn off a bit now that Criterion is releasing it?

I am going to rent Redbelt. After watching Never Back Down, I wish there was a better MMA moive to be made. Hopefully,Redbelt will be that better moive. Also, I will buy Heroes Season Two on DVD. Even though Season Two wasnt the best, I still love the show. I cant wait for Season 3! :)
