"    Mad Men: Season Two 4 DVD Box Set (2008)     Though it took years to get made Matthew Weiner owes much of his early success to the pilot script for Mad Men. Originally written on spec in 2000, the script caught the eye of David Chase who brought Weiner on as a writer/producer for the last three seasons of HBO&amp;#039;s award-winning, The Sopranos. The second season of Mad Men picks up in 1962, more than a year after the end of the first season. Enigmatic ad man Don Draper (Jon Hamm) has gone to drastic lengths to keep details from his past from his wife, and it&amp;#039;s beginning to take its toll, both at home and in the smoke-filled offices of Sterling Cooper. Mad Men may be set against the backdrop of the early &amp;#039;60s, but it&amp;#039;s a thoroughly modern series that uses the era&amp;#039;s sweeping social changes in the lives of its characters in order to shine a light on today&amp;#039;s materialistic, image-conscious culture.Extras include: * Audio commentaries with Cast and Crew on all 13 episodes * &amp;quot;Birth Of An Independent Woman: Parts 1 &amp;amp;amp; 2&amp;quot; * &amp;quot;An Era Of Style&amp;quot; * Interactive time capsule        The Haunting in Connecticut (Unrated Special Edition) (2009)     &amp;quot;Based on True Events&amp;quot; is a great marketing gimmick for feature films, but can it really apply to a horror movie about supernatural phenomena? The Haunting in Connecticut is &amp;quot;based on a true story&amp;quot; that aired on the Discovery Channel as A Haunting in Connecticut. In 1986, Al and Carmen Snedeker rented an old house in Southington, CT, close to the hospital where their teenage son received his cancer treatments. The family was shocked to discover that the large house was once a funeral home, complete with an embalming room in the basement where the boys slept. Scary haunting promptly ensues, complete with otherworldly mediums, after-hours s\u00E9ances and ghastly ghostly visions.Extras include: * Audio Commentaries with Director, Producer, Cast and Crew * &amp;quot;Two Dead Boys: The Making of The Haunting in Connecticut&amp;quot; * &amp;quot;The Fear Is Real: Reinvestigating the Haunting - Parts &amp;amp;amp; 2&amp;quot; * &amp;quot;Anatomy of a Haunting&amp;quot; * &amp;quot;Memento Mori: The History of Postermortem Photography&amp;quot; * Deleted scenes with commentary by director Peter Cornwell        The State: The Complete Series 5 DVD Box Set (2009)     In the &amp;#039;90s, when MTV still  played music, they also took chances on some truly groundbreaking series including one of the first reality shows The Real World, the animated Liquid Television (which gave us Beavis and Butthead and Aeon Flux) and the irreverent sketch comedy of The State. The State remains one of the most acclaimed comedies, ever, and the entire 11-person cast continue to be a force of funny in both mainstream and underground film and television comedies. Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant co-wrote both of Ben Stiller&amp;#039;s Night at the Museum films, as well as their own Reno 911! series on Comedy Central, with fellow State alum Kerri Kenney-Silver and Joe Lo Truglio, Michael Ian Black and Ken Marino had supporting roles as a demon couple on the CW&amp;#039;s Reaper and Black will star opposite Michael Showalter in the new series Michael &amp;amp;amp; Michael Have Issues (which premieres July 15th on Comedy Central). While this 5-disc set includes all 24 episodes of The State, due to prohibitive licensing costs most of the original music used has been replaced. Extras include: &amp;amp;gt;Disc 1 * All five episodes from Season One * Commentary on every episode by various cast members * Interviews * Origins * Feedback * Outtakes  style=&amp;quot;padding:4px;&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;Disc 2 * All six episodes from Season Two * Commentary on every episode by various cast members * Interviews * Roles * Catchphrases * Outtakes Disc 3 * The first six episodes from Season Three * Commentary on every episode by various cast members * Interviews * Outtakes  style=&amp;quot;padding:4px;&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;Disc 4 * The remaining seven episodes from Season Three * Commentary on every episode by various cast members * Interviews * Outtakes Disc 5 (Bonus Disc) * Pilot * Over 90 minutes of unaired sketches with commentary from the cast * &amp;quot;The State&amp;quot; on &amp;quot;The Jon Stewart Show&amp;quot; * The cast&amp;#039;s performance on MTV&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Shut Up &amp;amp;amp; Laugh, Panama City&amp;quot; (1996) * Spring Break Safety Tips * MTV Christmas Party Video * Promos        [REC] (2007)     Ever since 1999&amp;#039;s The Blair Witch Project, real-time, handheld cinematography has been a mainstay in horror movies such as 2008&amp;#039;s Cloverfield and Quarantine. The latter is the American re-make of [REC], a film that was released in Spain in 2007 to near universal praise. It&amp;#039;s only reaching our shores now, since distribution rights were held by the film studio that wanted to release their remake before the original. In [REC], Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco)is a television journalist for the show While You Sleep, which follows various professions during the wee hours on the morning. While following firefighters on a routine call to help a woman stuck in her apartment, Angela and her cameraman get more than they bargained for when the residents begin to fall victim to some kind of mysterious plague and the government steps in to isolate the building, trapping them inside.The sequel, [REC]2 is set to be released in Spain this October. Extras include: * &amp;quot;[REC]: Making of&amp;quot;        G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: Season 1.1 4 DVD Box Set (2009)     This has been a banner year for the toy manufacturer Hasbro, with not one, but two blockbuster films based on 1980s action figures coming out this summer. It would be hard to ignore the success of Michael Bay&amp;#039;s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Shout Factory&amp;#039;s 25th Anniversary edition release of the Transformers cartoon. Similarly, Shout Factory also has the obtained the rights to Hasbro&amp;#039;s G.I. Joe cartoon and is releasing the first half of the first season on DVD. We normally frown upon half season sets , but when you consider that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: Season 1.1 contains the first 22 episodes of the series, including the 3 five-part mini-series (&amp;quot;G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The Revenge of Cobra&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The Pyramid of Darkness&amp;quot;) that launched the show and continue to stand out as some of the best of the series, it becomes an easy purchase to recommend to new and old fans. Extras include: * Knowing Is Half The Battle PSAs * Looking Back With Writer Ron Friedman * Archival Hasbro Toy Commercials * 12&amp;quot; G.I. Joe Toy Fair Presentation from 1963 * Printable Script for Jungle Trap      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
