ROTTEN TOMATOES: RT on DVD: The Dark Knight Is Here!

7. I Am Legend - Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray -- 69%

If you bought your copy of I Am Legend the first time it debuted on Blu-ray, you'll most likely want to bypass this double dip. But if you don't yet own the Will Smith post-apocalypse thriller in High Definition, this is a great set to consider. While most of the special features were released previously, this set contains some new materials, like a new audio commentary with director Frances Lawrence and screenwriter Akiva Goldsmith. A 40+ page glossy production booklet makes this set a collectible, one supposes.

Next: Import John Woo's Chinese epic, Red Cliff

This week on DVD is the...

Who cares what else is on DVD, "The Dark Knight" is out! One of my all time favorite movies is out! The event of the decade is here and has a plethera of features!

If I offended any fan of "The Wire" or "Deadwood" by dismissing them, sorry.

I will be receiving The Dark Knight tomorrow on blu ray. I think I am getting The Wire box set for Christmas, and if anyone is interested in it I say go to AMAZON because it is on sale there for 135 Bucks. I am looking forward to renting Deadwood, never got a chance to catch it and I have heard good things.

Also I gotta try to get my hands on Red Cliff, hopefully it is Woo's much needed comeback.

I hate to play the contrarian, but Man on Wire is what has me excited. Most realistic critics say The Dark Knight was pretty good but flawed, whereas Man on Wire is getting acclaim from all around from everybody. I don't want to sound all edgy and play into the backlash, but I'm pretty indifferent to The Dark Knight. It's on my Netflix Queue at about #150 or so, which is fairly high considering my Queue is full up...But Man on Wire is at #31, because there are only 30 movies out right now that I want to see before Man on Wire. The Dark Knight is alright news, but I was anticipating this week a lot more for Man on Wire.

I got Dark Knight in the mail earlier today and the special features are lengthy but mostly fluff and some of the featurettes are pretty redundant. Just like I Am Legend, WB will proabbly double-dip this, and hopefully finally give this film the treatment it deserves. LOST is an incredible show. The season 4 finale was simply masterful. The great thing about Lost is that it rewards its loyal viewers. This is not a show you can just casually watch here and there, which is why ABC can't seem to attract new viewers.

Admiral, it's interesting that you name Man on Wire as the release you're most interested in this week. It's a small documentary about a seemingly banal subject but it's got an incredible 100% Tomatometer rating and on many critics' best of the year lists. That said, when I watched it I thought it was good, but not great or a masterpiece; though it addresses certain events that were indeed spectacular, it's fairly subdued. Let us know what you think.

FINALLY OMFG IVE BEEN WAITING. THE DARK KNIGHT IS THE BEST MOVIE OF 2008. THE SCORE IS OFFICIALLY ELIGIBLE AGAIN TO BE NOMINATED. BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR. HERE'S TO BEING NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE!

Ease off the Pixie Stix sport, everything will be OK. And while I do foresee it being nominated for Best Picture, I think it has a pretty slim (almost non-existant) chance of winning. It'll win a couple small-fry Oscars like best score or cinematography (the opening bank scene and the Japan scene are pure beauty). The best award we can all hope for is Supporting Actor, and I think we all know that. "We" being the fans pulling for it in the awards season.

Horton was good. Of course getting Horton or Dark Knight on Netflix will probably take a year. I'll just buy it.

you know it really sucks when your unemployed and recently laid off due to ****ty economic times. With such few dollars I have left I'm spending my hard earned tax payers money on this one. Since my copy comes with the batpod.

I figured they'd at least put more Heath Ledger stuff on there.

Although they're probably saving that material for some 10 year anniversary box-set so that they can call it "never before seen" or "unreleased" etc.

Too bad The Dark Knight was disqualified for Best Score, so that's not going to happen. Oh, indiefilmfan2, I'd love to know who sent you a copy of The Dark Knight a day early, it's worth a reward to report it, and a fine for the company. I used to work in a video store, and that stuff is taken very seriously, even when it's just a day early.

Wait Jen can you give some info on the blu ray import of Red Cliff. I love Woo's early work but have loathed his new stuff. I presume it has english subtitles? Is it actually good, because I don't particularly want to pay 40 bucks but if it is a good Woo movie then I will.

Make your own commentary- seems like the most pointless, obnoxious feature ever. Or is it just me?

I'd much rather hear what Nolan has to say about the movie. Oh well.

Kudos, Admiral Snowstorm! Way to bring some sense into this Batman jizz-fest!

Seriously, I know you guys loved the movie, and it was good, no doubt, and I am all for comic book movies getting their due credit in the eyes of the common moviegoer, but there were many better films (such as, uh, Man on Wire). You really should get out more.

I'm going to ignore the elephant in the room and talk about "Horton Hears a Who".
Well,Horton's a big elephant literally, but I was talking about a metaphorical one of "TDK" releasing tomorrow.
I just think that that movie is pretty underrated, and I might pick up a copy on Blu-ray (next week, of course). Plus, has anyone heard of Jim Carrey doing a commentary on one of his movies before, because that is very interesting if "Horton" is his first one.

Also, can't wait to see "Man on Wire"- it's at the top of my "queue"; I'll get to it after i finish finals and send back "The Crow".
