The Gate: Special Edition
If ever a movie ever deserved a special edition, it’d be this 1987 classic starring the child that was Stephen Dorff at the time releasing all manner of beasties into the world via an interdimensional portal that was previously buried under a tree. Okay, maybe not, but it’s getting one anyway, complete with new widescreen transfer and new special features.
Get Smart Season 4
Maxwell Smart finally gets the girl in this 4 disc collection of the fourth season of the 1960s TV show. Agent 99, you could’ve done so much better.
Red Dwarf: Back To Earth – The Director’s Cut
The surprisingly not-terrible reunion of the late 80s, early 90s comedy comes to America in the “As it’s meant to be seen” format fans would rather watch. Expect behind the scenes footage and the traditional Smeg-Ups to round out the package.

Will Ferrells’s not-especially-well-received remake of the classic TV series may not have made much of a dent in the box office earlier this year, but somehow we wouldn’t be too surprised if it found a (potentially stoned) enthusiastic audience awaiting it on DVD.

Swordplay! Vampires! Violence! They’re all coming to your house, as Chris Nahon’s take on the Japanese anime gets released on DVD and Blu Ray.
Sam Raimi’s return to off-kilter horror promises to be even more fun on DVD; it’s a re-edited “unrated” version.
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
Michael Bay’s ridiculously successful Robots In Disguise sequel gets multiple editions as it transforms into something you can take home: There’s a single disc DVD, double disc DVD and double disc Blu Ray. We’d recommend the latter, if possible, for that authentic HD overwhelming robot carnage effect.

A truly bizarre seven disc set, collecting Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume Two, Space Ghost Coast To Coast: Season Three, Moral Orel: Season One, Robot Chicken: Season Two, Metalocalypse: Season One, Sealab 2021: Season Two, and the pilot episodes for The Best Of Totally For Teens, Cheyenne Cinnamon, Korgoth Of Barbaria, Perfect Hair Forever and Evan Dorkin’s awesome Welcome To Eltingville, none of which made it to series. Don’t ask. Just buy it.
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
Edward James Olmos’ after-the-fact TV movie promises to fill in some of the gaps in just what the cylons’ plan actually was, and this DVD version promises footage that won’t be shown on Syfy when it airs November. So that’s even more gaps filled in, I guess?
