Burn Notice: Season 1 DVD Out Today

Burn Notice Season 1 DVD Box SetGoing on sale today is the Burn Notice Season 1 DVD box set. Burn Notice quickly became one of my favorite television shows when it debuted last summer on USA and I am eagerly awaiting the start of Season 2 on Thursday, July 10th at 10/9C. Even though I've already seen all of Season 1, I just couldn't resist adding it to my Netflix Queue...especially since Aly has never seen an episode.

Burn Notice - Jeffrey Donovan as Michasel WestenI know I’ve spoken about Burn Notice before and I’m sure I will do it again before Season 2’s debut, but if you haven’t given this show a chance yet you really are missing out on some terrific television. The Season 1 Box Set is a great way to get caught up on all of Michael Westen’s adventures in Miami in a quest to find out who burned him from the spy game.

To commemorate the release of Hellboy II, Adidas Originals is producing “a unique tri-collaboration project” in which they will “launch two sneakers to coincide with the global release of Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The collaboration brings together Adidas Originals, Universal Studios & Guillermo Del Toro, the film’s director, and Dark Horse Comics & Mike Mignola, the original comic book artist of Hellboy.” (link)

Hellboy II: The Golden Army European Theatrical One-Sheet Movie Poster

This is the first of two pretty cool Hellboy II: The Golden Army posts for today. While Hellboy II is not producing anywhere near the amount of promotional posters that The Dark Knight is, the movie is definitely rivaling the upcoming Batman film in the quality of its promo pieces. Today’s newest Hellboy II theatrical one-sheet is definitely one of my favorite movie posters of the summer.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army European Theatrical One-Sheet Movie Poster
I know I’ve talked a lot about the movie posters for The Dark Knight, but Hellboy is quietly giving Batman a run for his money in the PR department. It’s too bad Dark Horse’s Hellboy is no where near as mainstream as Batman or Marvel’s stable of heroes. Because otherwise, this movie might have been one of the summer’s most talked about sequels instead of that other super hero film starring a certain green goliath.
