Hey, hey, we have another fantastic contest for you. Because we’ve been such good whores for all things BSG, the folks at Universal Home Video have given us five copies to give away. The DVD hits the street on Dec. 4 and will be a two disk extravaganza. This contest will run for the next two weeks. On Wednesday, Dec 12 shoot me an email with your full mailing address and User ID. That’s it. Post a comment about BSG, or the SCI-Fi Network for a chance to win, it’s that simple.

In the meantime check out some of these exclusive SFX shots! These shots are not your typical approved artwork, this comes directly from the pipeline of production at Universal Studios. Our source had a chance to meet with the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA editors, and they pulled this actual step-by-step visual effects sequence from the show. Warning, these are nice huge pictures. (more…)

Rescue Dawn is one of the year’s best films, don’t be surprised if Christian Bale doesn’t get some award nominations for his steller performance as Dieter Dengler, one of the first American pilots shot down during the early stages of the Vietnam War. Not only did he survive an horable ordeal but he managed to escape as well. Bale is absolutely amazing in this film, it’s a shame that it got lost in the summer blockbuster season. But courtesy of MGM Home video you have a chance revisit this excellent film and get a free copy of the DVD. I really hope MGM is smart enough to launch an award campaign around this film, it is one of the year’s best. Also you can check out my interview with Christian Bale, Director Werner Herzog, Steve Zahn and others. To win this DVD, read the Press release and leave a comment about your favorite Christian Bale movie and why. Personally I know many of you will say Batman Begins, but my favorite CB film is the little know Equilibrium he was really bad ass in that part. Then of course there’s American Psycho and his love of Huey Lewis and Phil Collins. We have five copies of this DVD the contest will run November 12 to 27, 2007. (more…)

Talk about triple dipping, one of my all time favorite movies – The Princess Bride has a yet another DVD Edition coming out in honor of its 20^th anniversary. I think this DVD, this is a 2 disk feature packed set. I’m not sure what those features are, but it’ll probably contain everything that was on the last set, which was an AMAZING package! It’s one of the most flawless movies you’ll ever see – it has action, romance, drama, and is hysterically funny. I LOVE this film and if you don’t already own one of the many versions of this film.

Courtesy of our friends at MGM Home Video and the Geek Acres Podcast – run by long time EM Reader Doug Rapson you can win this DVD. I want to give this to someone who loves this film as much as me, so to win, post a comment about the film – extra points goes to comments about your first time seeing it and your fondest memory. This contest will run for 2 weeks from November 7, 2007 to Tuesday November 20^th, 2007. I will select five winners at random, but to qualify you must post at least one comment here about The Princess Bride. This DVD hits the stores November 13, 2007!!

It's been a few months since we've had an old fashioned EM Event. So what better way to bring them back than to have a screening of one of the most anticipated films of the year? Courtesy of our buds at Warner Brothers, we have tickets for the Washington, DC Advanced Screening of Ocean's Thirteen!! Read the synopsis below and follow the painfully simple instructions.

ABOUT OCEAN'S THIRTEEN

What are the odds of getting even? Danny Ocean and the gang would have only one reason to pull off their most ambitious and riskiest casino heist–to defend one of their own. But they’re going to need more than luck on their side to break The Bank.Ruthless casino owner Willy Bank never imagined that the odds were against him when he double-crossed Danny Ocean’s friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff, putting the distraught Reuben in a hospital bed in critical condition. But Bank miscalculated–badly.

He may have taken down one of the original Ocean’s eleven, but he left the others standing and, worse for him, gave them a shared purpose: to take Bank down on the night of what should be his greatest triumph–the grand opening of his new casino, appropriately named The Bank. Their strategy is twofold. First they will ruin him financially by turning the tables on the precept that the house always wins. But that’s just money. The knockout punch will be to Bank’s personal pride and joy: his reputation as the only hotelier who has earned the Royal Review Board’s Five Diamond Award on every single one of his hotels. The plan is elaborate, dangerous and damn near impossible–but there are no limits when it comes to one of their own.

Tagline:

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the courtroom.

This Spinoff of The Practice will focus on Civil Law. Plot Synopsis: Ethically-challenged attorney Alan Shore, formerly of Young, Berluti, & Frutt, settles in at a wealthy and powerful firm focusing on civil cases. With some help from his friend and mentor, veteran attorney Denny Crane, Shore quickly makes his mark winning cases no one would take, often using less than honest methods. In doing so, he develops a rival in his colleague Brad Chase, who has been assigned to the office partly to keep an eye on the increasingly eccentric (and possibly senile) Denny Crane. Though his questionable conduct might make him a few enemies along the way, Alan's not one to be underestimated, nor will he let trivial things like honesty or integrity get in the way of winning a case.
