All of us here wish you and yours festive holiday fun.  Due to X-Mas hitting on a Tuesday this year our regular posts will be pushed back to match the delays.  You will find our DVD posts on Wednesday, when the new DVD’s will hit the stores, and the latest edition of our Comics Rack on Friday, when comics finally make it out to the shops.  And make sure you come by Thursday for the 3rd Annual Razorblade Awards!  Of course we’ll have new movie reviews scattered throughout the week including Ian’s review today of The Bucket List.  So from all of us here, and of course Santa Jesus, Happy Holidays folks!

Hey folks!  It’s a brand new week and have we got tons o’ fun for you!  Today you’ll find trailers for several new films including I Am Legend (and all three of the previous films to be adapted from Richard Matheson’s novel).  Tuesday brings us our usual look into the world of DVD’s and this week we’ve got your review for the new Bourne Ultimatum on DVD!  Wednesday will bring the usual dose of comic and anime fun plus a pair of movie reviews for Nanking and The Man in the Chair!  And after our usual madcap Thursday fun, we’ll be up early Friday morning to bring you new movie reviews for films including The Kite Runner, I Am Legend, and Juno.  Enjoy, and thanks for sharing in the fun!

From time to time we give you the heads up on some serious nerd merchandise, and Holy Moley do we have something for you today!  DC Direct is shooting out a ton of new Shazam! related toys hitting comic shops as we speak.  The new action figures include a new Captain Marvel, Billy Batson, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, Dr. Sivana (with Mr. Mind), and two different Mary Marvel figures (personally I like the white variant version taken from Formerly Known as the Justice League).  The figures range in size from 6.75” (Big Red Cheese) to 6.15” (Billy).  All should be available now, or real soon, from your local comic book shops.  Larger pics of each figure inside the Full Diagnosis.

Okay, my resistance to getting a Nintendo Wii has been slowly dissolving for months, and announcements like this aren’t helping.  With “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” (oh baby!) being released on the Wii next Spring somebody thought up the idea to make this handy dandy accessory.  The Light Sword (HELL YEAH!!!!) runs on three AA batteries and has the ability to light up and down with a click of a button.  The Wii-mote simply slides right into the handle giving you the opportunity to slash off limbs just like a Jedi!  The product is set to be released at the end of the month for about $31 and is available to pre-order on various sites online including Play.com.  Larger pic available inside the Full Diagnosis.

This week’s a slow week for movies, as the week immeadiately after Thanksgiving is prone to be.  However we do have a trio of trailers for you today along with full review for The Savages, on Wednesday when it opens in limited release.  Tuesday you’ll get the scoop on the newest DVD’s including Ian’s review of Hairspray.  Wednesday will bring you some more anime action.  Comics are also effected by the Pilgrim holdiay and since shipments are pushed back a day to compensate for last week’s holiday you’ll find the latest comic goodness including the newest issue of our Comic Rack, and a review for a comic everyone should be reading, on Thursday.  All that, plus our usual brand of zaniness!  Enjoy, and thanks for joining us!
