This is just a short note on some DVDs that were released this week.

The Darwin Awards - star-studded cast lead by Joseph Fiennes and Winona Ryder about a guy obsessed with the psychological profile of people who become Darwin Cases.

- it's an amusing film that get more and more tedious as it progresses - or doesn't because it's mediocre Hollywood fare.

300 - gritty, testosterone filled eye candy to delight any fan of graphic novels. It gets released in 3 editions

1. Standard Letterbox with only Audio Commentary,

2. Widescreen presentation with only Audio Commentary and

3. a 2 disc DVD edition that is only $5 extra than the previous 2 editions mentioned.

Choose wisely.
