From Mike Judge, one of the creative minds behind King of the Hill and Office Space, comes Idiocracy, an outrageous sci-fi comedy about a not-so-bright guy who awakens in the year 2505 to find a society so dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming that he's become the smartest guy on the planet. Filled with razor-sharp sarcasm and outrageous sight gags, Idiocracy will make you laugh out loud whether you're an... more

In case you missed the Golden Globe awards, Meryl Streep won the award for best actress in a musical or comedy for her role in The Devil Wears Prada. She thanked her co-stars who, she said, "had the difficult job of making me seem monstrous." Hugh Laurie won the award for best actor in a drama television serious for his role as House, and Grey's Anatomy won the award for best dramatic... more

In the so-bad-it's-good department, Snakes on a Plane is now available on DVD. (If you're wondering what the movie's about, you're fired.) The DVD comes with some cool extra features, including 10 deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and a "Snakes on a Blog" fan reel. Invite your friends over to watch it, and play along with the Snakes on a Plane audience participation script (Google it). More Samuel L. Jackson movies.

It contains all 12 episodes (both seasons) in a "blinged out" special edition box, along with some "unseen clips of Borat," an Ali G glossary, and several featurettes.

For all the politics junkies who spent election night glued to their TVs watching returns, and who refreshed the New York Times website every 5 minutes when Rumsfeld resigned, this one's for you: The West Wing collection. Released on election day, this massive 45-disc box set contains all 154 episodes of the award-winning series, along with commentaries, documentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, unaired scenes, and more - for a whopping 112 hours of fascinating political entertainment... more

Are you in or out? The Project Runway season finale starts tonight, and once it wraps up (pun intended), we'll have to find something else to do on Wedsnesday nights for a while - like watch the second season of Project Runway on DVD. People magazine described the second season as "a seamless match of Survivor's competitive hunger and Zoolander's voguing nuttiness." The 3-disc box set features an exclusive Season 3 casting call, along... more

Last night we rented Afro-Punk, James Spooner's award-winning documentary about what it's like to be black in the (mostly white) American punk/hardcore scene. With no previous film-making experience, Spooner traveled the country to interview band members and fans alike. The result is an enjoyable, eye-opening film, one that you don't have to be a black punk rocker to appreciate. Note to selves: Buy all Bad Brains CDs.

We only recently discovered "House," the television series that TV Guide calls "the uncommon cure for the common medical drama." Hugh Laurie's character is equal parts doctor and detective, genius and jerk, and there's something fun about watching someone get away with being so rude. The second season of House comes out this week, with guest appearances by Ron Livingston, Sela Ward, Cynthia Nixon, and LL Cool J. Get the first season of... more

If you can't get in touch with us for a few days, it's because we're holed up at home, phones off, watching all 12 episodes of The Wire: Season 3. In a row. It's been almost a year since our Season 2 marathon, when McNulty, Barksdale, and Stringer Bell were the most important people in our lives, so we're eager to suspend reality and pick up where we left off with our favorite HBO... more

The following is a Public Service Announcement: Don't waste your time or your money on the Miami Vice movie, which we suffered through last night. The plot was weak, the dialogue weaker, and while Jamie Foxx was OK as Tubbs, let's just say Colin Farrell is no Don Johnson. For true 1980s crimefighting fun, with lots of pastel suits, explosions, speedboat chases, overgrown facial hair, and Jan Hammer mood music, there's nothing like the more

We have a new favorite movie: Everything is Illuminated. Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything Is Illuminated" is the story of a young Jewish American (Elijah Wood) who travels to the Ukraine to solve a family secret, and his fall-off-your-chair-hysterical Ukrainian tour guide (Eugene Hutz, member of the folk-punk band Gogol Bordello).

The latest installment of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour is now out on DVD. One for the Road features all-new material from Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White, as they perform at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. DVD extras include a freewheeling question-and-answer session with the comedians and an energetic group of college students, exclusive backstage footage, and a wild encounter at the White House. Git-r-done! More... more

Sarah Silverman's Jesus is Magic, which just came out on DVD, is one of the funniest films we've seen in a while. It's mostly stand-up comedy, with a few musical skits thrown in. But it's not for everyone. NPR says "Silverman's comedy is marked by a willingness to offend," while Rotten Tomatoes says "Silverman's brand of humor is dirty, offensive, and, judging from this film, very, very funny," and Walmart isn't carrying the DVD... more

Both a critical hit and fan favorite, Grey's Anatomy burst onto the television landscape with gripping plot lines, a sensational soundtrack, and hot stars, including Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, and Sandra Oh. Now you can experience all the drama, romance, and excitement of Grey's Anatomy from the very beginning. Season One comes out on DVD this week.
