From today's game of Hangman I found out I am getting...

The Royal Tenenbaums Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston) had three children—Chas, Margot, and Richie—and then they separated. Chas (Ben Stiller) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the ninth grade. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior champion tennis player and won the U.S. Nationals three years in a row. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure and disaster. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Wes Anderson's hilarious, touching, and brilliantly stylized study of melancholy and redemption.

The DVD equivalent of Marmite, but I adore it. And it's the Criterion! You lucky sod. 

Have you seen any Wes Anderson films before, Pete? They are beautifully odd and full of astonishing detail. If you get on his wavelength, you'll love it.

No Jon... I believe this will be a first.

I did notice it has some big names in it... and the DVD is loaded with extras!

I just filter on his name in DVDP... I do have one other movie of his... but I haven't watched it yet... The Squid and the Whale.

Mystery solved... from an old friend I don't get to talk to much anymore... she went to my wishlist and picked out something for me... for old times sake... and yes she is the type that wants that instant gratification on knowing what I think... she asked me to open it right away. So I did... and this is what she got me...

Found out from today's Hangman game I will be getting...

Carnivore From afar, the old Romero house looks like a decrepit old mansion, reputedly haunted. But what the locals don't know is that behind the facade of the ancient building, the US government has built a state of the art high tech field lab which houses one of the worlds most gruesome experiments - a horrifying, genetically engineered, menacing carnivorous beast. When the projects chief, Dr. Westmont, underestimates the strength and intelligence of the monster, he meets a bloody fate and suddenly, the creature is free to roam the house. At the same time, four local teens sneak into the house to spend the night and what began as a night of fun turns into a chamber of horrors as they race to save themselves from the carnivore.

Kids call him a dork – he can't even throw a baseball! But that changes when the leader of the neighborhood gang recruits him to play on the nearby sandlot field. It's the beginning of a magical summer of baseball, wild adventures, first kisses, and fearsome confrontations with the dreaded beast and its owner (James Earl Jones) who live behind the left field fence. Soon nine boys have become best friends, Scotty is a part of a team and their leader has become a local legend in this hilarious and warmhearted comedy.
	The Sandlot 2 From the director of 'The Sandlot' comes this fun-filled sequel that proves the power of teamwork and celebrates the magic of friendship. Ten years after the original story, the local dirt field is now "home" to a new group of neighborhood kids who get together to share laughs, show off... and play ball!

	Starsky & Hutch HERE COMES THE FUZZ! Starsky takes the wheel, Hutch rides shotgun and comedy runs wild in this hilarious twist on the landmark buddy-cop TV show. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson bring a playful chemistry to the roles of undercover detectives Starsky and Hutch. Todd Phillips (Old School, Road Trip) directs this '70s groove in which our guys are stripped of their badges, duped by a drug kingpin (Vince Vaughn) and totally ripped off in a disco contest. So, yeah, they got some scores to settle. Snoop Dogg is in fly funkadelic mode as urban coolster Huggy Bear. And Juliette Lewis and others make for nonstop fun. If inducing laughter is a crime, they're all guilty as charged!
