CENTURY CITY, Calif. In a city of millions, many souls get lost… Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents a glimpse into a world where the wealthy, powerful and connected come to play when Dollhouse Season One becomes “active” on Blu-ray and DVD July 28. From the mind of Joss Whedon, the creator of groundbreaking cult favorites Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Firefly, Dollhouse stars Eliza Dushku (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling) as Echo, just one member working for an illegal underground organization that implants employees with false memories and skills in order to perform various missions and dangerous tasks. These “dolls” can become anything that anyone desires; a lover, a fighter, an assassin, even a best friend. Once their assignment is complete, their memories are wiped clean and they are released back into the Dollhouse to cohabitate with their fellow colleagues under the watchful eye of those in charge. But Echo is slowly starting to become aware of herself and her surroundings? and one outsider will stop at nothing to bring the entire Dollhouse down.
Dollhouse Season One includes intense and stunning supporting performances from Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Rushmore), Harry Lennix (State of Play, Across The Universe), Amy Acker (Angel), and Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica). The Blu-ray and DVD includes all 12 original episodes and tons of bonus features including the never-before-seen standalone episode Epitaph One, the original unaired pilot Echo, deleted scenes and seven making-of featurettes.

Square Enix’s newest incarnation of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is selling like hotcakes in Japan and has a U.S. release date in June. Advent Children Complete features additional scenes, new song and perhaps the most sought after prize, a demo of the newest Final Fantasy.
Today, Marvel Studios sent word that they’ve entered into a new agreement with Paramount. The agreement will see Paramount distribute Marvel’s next five self-produced films globally. The deal certainly isn’t surprising considering that ‘Iron Man’ grossed over $574 million for Marvel.
What is even more interesting about the news is that it confirmed some upcoming film projects that fans have been speculating on for quite some time. Even better than that, we even know the anticipated release dates for the films as well.
The five movie deal includes:
‘Iron Man 2′ Anticipated Release Date: May 7, 2010
‘Thor’ Anticipated Release Date: July 16, 2010
‘The First Avenger: Captain America’ Anticipated Release Date: May 6, 2011
‘The Avengers’ Anticipated Release Date: July 15, 2011
‘Iron Man 3′ Anticipated Release Date: TBD
We’ll have more information on these projects as they break. In the meantime, you can read PopCultureShock’s review of the Blu-Ray release of ‘Iron Man’ right here.
“Before the title was even scheduled to broadcast, there was a minimum of three minutes per episodes that was known to never make broadcast… The DVDs started and were conceptualized with an extra 15 minutes that would only be seen on DVD. Through the editing process, we decided what was going to be for the DVD and what was going to be for broadcast. Spike had a big play in that because there’s a lot of things in ‘Afro Samurai’ that just couldn’t be seen or heard on TV. And we all know that Sam unedited is better than Sam edited.”
