DVD and Blu-Ray Releases: January 18th - Buried in a Death Race Too

Does claustrophobia set in easily for you? Then you may want to steer clear of the video aisles of your favorite stores as last year's intense buried alive flick (starring the futureGreen Lantern) is coming on home.

Being that this is another light week release wise, you don't have too many other options. That is unless you're in the mood for high speed chases featuring coffin-looking vehicles that could end up causing just as much anxiety.

Or maybe you'd just like to find comfort in another Roger Corman fest from a kinder, gentler era - a triple treat that has nothing to do with coffins. Yay!


Buried on DVDBuried(Blu-ray REVIEW)
Directed by Rodrigo Cortés
Starring Ryan Reynolds, and the voices of Samantha Mathis, Erik Palladino, José Luis García Pérez, Robert Paterson, Stephen Tobolowsky

Paul Conroy is not ready to die. But when he wakes up six feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time; fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only ninety minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true. Check out ourBuried CENTRAL.

A Seventh Season of Supernatural Looks Likely

"Supernatural"Season Six got off to a bit of a rocky start, but indications are that, assuming new showrunner Sera Gamble is game, The CW is likely to renew the series for at least one more year.

SupernaturalAccording to a chat CW president Dawn Ostroff recently had withE! Online,she is boldly optimistic about bringing SPN back for a seventh season. Ostroff told E!,"We haven't officially picked anything up yet, but {Supernatural} is creatively doing so well— and it's doing better on Friday night than it was on Thursday night — so I can't imagine we won't pick it up."

The network boss praised Gamble, noting,"Sera's done a fantastic job this year. She's done an excellent job creatively. Our network team works with the Supernatural team very closely,"says Ostroff, but the two sides have not yet engaged in any talks about a season-seven myth arc."No, it's too far out. We haven't started talking about next year, but I'd be shocked if we didn't pick it up."

The Walking Dead Season 2 as Early as July?

We, just like every other fan out there, simply cannot stand the news that we may have to wait until next October to dig our claws into Season Two of the hit AMC original series,"The Walking Dead". Talk about a long time. However ...

A glimmer of hope may have appeared in a really unlikely place. During aNew York Magazineinterview with Bryan Cranston, star of the equally as incredible AMC show,"Breaking Bad", Cranston was asked why he thought the season premiere of his show was pushed to July. His answer came in on the surprising side of the fence.

"It was a decision from AMC that they wanted to position us in July, along with Mad Men. And I believe they're going to put Walking Dead in July as well. I think it's just a sensible thing— they want to attract as many eyeballs as possible, away from the heavy competition of the September, November, January start."

Could be something. Could be nothing. At least it offers us eager flesh-eaters a glimmer of hope. Stay tuned.

Look for Season One of"The Walking Dead"to hit Blu-ray and DVD on March 8th. Pre-order your copy below!

    Wake Up and Smell the Rumor: Jurassic Park IV Now Filming?

    It's Monday. The weekend is officially over. It's five whole days before we can party a bit, and the thought of doing the littlest bit of work turns your stomach. Yep, we're right there with ya, folks. But get this -- if by chance the following rumor is confirmed as true you're about to get smacked in the face with some news that will surely get that left over slumber out of your eyes!

    According toTheme Park Adventurewhile touring Universal Studios Hollywood the folks who run the site ran across the clapboard sign you see below which clearly states thatJurassic Park IVis in production on four of the studio's stages.

    Could it be that named director Joe Johnston could have already started building sets while tidying up work onCaptain America? Or is this just the work of some chalk happy prankster looking to stir the pot? We expect some form of official confirmation to come sooner rather than later and as soon as we get it, we'll relay the info to you.

    In the interim take all this with a grain of salt. Hit up the above link for a couple of more images.
