Today is the day that I get to buy the two DVD releases I’ve been waiting quite a while for – Lord Of The Rings:Fellowship Of The Ring (Director’s Cut)<\/a> and Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones<\/a>. I admit it – I am a DVD-aholic (with over 200 DVDs at last count to prove it). Although I’ve considerably cut down on buying discs, I still need to get the “big ones” – and certainly, in the past year, nothing has been bigger (at least for me) than these two movies. <\/p>\n

Actually, LOTR has already been released in August, but only as a trimmed-down movie-only version. This new one adds an additional 30 minutes (to the already long 3 hours), but reviews say that the additional half-hour adds a lot of substance to the story. An added bonus is it has a free movie ticket good for watching LOTR: The Two Towers, and the DVD arrives just in time to whet my appetite for the next installment this December. <\/p>\n

AOTC is a return to greatness, after a huge bump in the road that was The Phantom Menace. Star Wars is back in my second-favorite episode (with Empire being my personal best). That Yoda-Count Dooku fight scene was my favorite battle scene of the entire saga, and I can’t wait until I see it again tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
