REEL TALK'S Holiday Gift Guide!
Posted by Michael Avila on 12/23/07 at 11:00 AM

REEL TALK Holiday Gift Guide


With a full month to go before Santa crams his XXL figure down the chimney to deliver. We've gathered some of the coolest items we've come across to help fill your gift lists. DVDs, graphic novels, toys and collectibles, we rounded up some clever, cool and (some) cost-friendly goodies and we'll spotlight a different one each day here, as part of REEL TALK'S Holiday Gift Guide.



Scrooged

Don't Get "Scrooged!" | Without “Scrooged” there would never have been a “Bad Santa.” Before Bill Murray showed just how rotten a TV executive could be, you’d be hard-pressed to find a holiday flick with a little edge to it.

Murray’s friendless, miserly Network boss – who had his secretary give out either towels or VCR to people on his gift list, depending on their importance – is a classic Murray character. Full of wisecracks, venomous putdowns and some hilarious give-and-take with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, played by David Johannson, Carol Kane and John Forsythe. I remember seeing this for the first time in theaters when it opened in 1988 and I try to catch it every holiday season. The redemptive final scene is as touching as the rest of the film is hilarious. “Scrooged” is available on DVD now and its well worth adding to your holiday playlist.



Samsung's DB-UP5000

Superhero Civil War | Marvel Comics’ “Civil War” was one of the most talked-about comic book storylines in years. After hundreds of innocent people in Connecticut were killed due to a young, inexperienced group of superheroes
botching a made-for-TV supervillain bust, Congress passed the Superhero Registration Act. Heroes were pitted against each other in a battle over what’s more important: individual personal rights or the safety of society as a whole. Captain America was the leader of the ‘outlaw’ team of heroes that refused to reveal their identities as demanded by the SRA. Iron Man led the team that supported the Act.

Without giving too much away, it also re-established why Spider-Man/Peter Parker is Marvel’s most relatable hero and why Captain America is its most admired. As for Tony Stark/Iron Man, well, chances are you won’t be his biggest fan after reading this.

“Civil War” ($24.99) is available in trade paperback form in most major bookstores and comic shops, as well
as its various tie-in books.



Samsung's DB-UP5000

I'll Take The Combo, Please | And so will you once you check out Samsung's Duo Blu-ray with an HD DVD player. We won't bore you with details, but the BD-UP5000 model boasts BD 1.1 hardware support and a wallet-friendly price tag.

OK, so this IS a holiday gift guide, but this item can only be purchased until AFTER the holiday season -- early to mid January to be somewhat precise. But we wanted to divvy up this option for those who wait until after Christmas to do their holiday shopping. So remember, this is an item you can kick back and watch your favorite Blu-ray disks on -- it's well worth the wait. Pre-order Samsung's BD-UP5000 here.



Blade Runner

This Gift Is So Stellar It Deserves Two Days | It took 25 years but now you can see the Blade Runner Ridley Scott wanted you to see.

"Blade Runner: The Complete Collector's Edition HD DVD" is a 5-disc set that comes with all the usual extras you expect in a dvd release these days - commentaries, old trailers (which are very cool since they show the big change from 1982 to now) and featurettes - but when you're talking about one of the most revered films of all time, there was no way Warner Bros. was going to get away with putting out a lame product.

They hit it out of the park with this one. You can win this DVD along with other various DVD's on RT's Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway! Click here to enter and for more details.




1001 Movies!

Now You'll Have Someone To Recite Movie Lines With | We all have those things we must do before we die, cure world hunger, end homelessness, run for president. But for some of us here at RT, our to-do lists consist of movies – lots of movies.

So it’s a good thing Steven Jay Schneider has the reference book aptly titled “1001 Movies to See Before You Die.” Now your loved ones will have the opportunity to read up on cinematic history with hearty reviews from American movie critics. Movies include, “Psycho,” “Sedmikrasky,” and “Top Gun,” to name a few.

"1001 Movies to See Before You Die” can be purchased for around $40.




The Wire

Increase Your 'Street Cred' | An argument was once overheard with three coworkers on the brilliance of HBO. One claimed “The Sopranos” was what put the Home Box Office back on its mark. Another, “The L Word” and a third protested in favor of “The Wire.”

Most of the surrounding coworkers had no idea what employee number three was referring to, as it was a few years ago and the urban drama had recently begun its first season. But now, a few years later, “The Wire” has become a hit for HBO. Fans range from the suburbanite housewife to the urban business man -- this series is an addictive hit sure to interest everyone.

"The Wire" seasons 1-4 sells for around $40-60 each and can be purchased on the HBO website.




Nicktoons!

Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons! | Even we DVD nuts here at RT put down the remote sometimes to actually read something on a page. So if you want to help the 'Toon lover in your life rediscover the lost art of page turning, give 'em something with lots of pretty pictures, namely "Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!"

This massive coffee table book is slip-covered in the Nickelodeon's trademark green slime. Readers get to hear from the behind-the-scenes talent of classic Nick animated shows like "The Fairly OddParents," "Hey, Arnold!" "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron" and the King of the Animation Kingdom, "SpongeBob SquarePants."

Also included are talks with the folks behind more recent hits like "Avatar" "Back at the Barnyard" and "El Tigre."

The real treat for animation fans will be all the illustrations, including many rare never-before-seen images showing how characters like SpongeBob and Jimmy Neutron were developed.

"Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons!" sells for $40.




Give the gift of noir this season. | Cigarettes, berets, small cafes with smoky entrances in nondescript locations – these are things I love about the noir genre. And now you can give the gift of noir with the ultimate DVD collection of “Nosferatu.”

This masterpiece collection features F.W. Murnau’s beautifully remastered “Dracula.” Included in this DVD set are new bonus features like new documentaries revamped subtitles.

“Nosferatu” can be purchased for under $20 online and in select retail stores.




Audrey Hepburn 5-Pack

Have Breakfast At Tiffany's Every Morning | Here's a gift for the sophisticated, elegant lady (or gentleman) in your life. This five disk DVD set features the loved Hepburn in her most favorable roles. This five disk set includes the memorable classics "Sabrina," "Paris When It Sizzles," Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Funny Face," and our favorite, "Roman Holiday."

Fun, romantic and well written, these light comedies should be a permanent fixture in any DVD collection. The Audrey Hepburn 5 Pack can be purchased for under $60.



Filmmaker Magazine

Read All About It! | It’s not as stuffy as it sounds. Edify your inner amateur filmmaker this year with the gift of words. Informative and always on the cusp of film making trends and ideas, Filmmaker Magazine, a publication of the Independent Feature Project, hosts monthly articles on Independent filming trends, who to watch, the latest production equipment and more.

To subscribe go to Filmmaker Magazine's site ASAP to get your subscription in time for December 25!




36de808a8da03dab5c936110.L.jpg

Light Up Their Holiday Stocking | One of the true guilty pleasures of 2007, the Nicholas Cage-Eva Mendes adaptation of Marvel's cult favorite comic book scorched the box office when it debuted last February. This special gift collection features the two-disc extended version of "Ghost Rider" (with the pre-requisite deleted scenes, commentaries and featurettes) but the real treat is the special limited edition replica figure of Johnny Blaze in his demonic alter-ego.

This is exclusive to this set so this is the only way to get it. Made of a high quality polystone with lots of detail, it's a nice bonus for any fan of the film. Say what you will about writer-director Mark Steven Johnson's story (which critics tore to shreds), but there is no denying the special effects team did a fabulous job bringing the Spirit of Vengeance (as GR is known) to life onscreen.

"Ghost Rider Gift Set" is available now for roughly $60.



Voyagers: The Complete Series

Voyagers: The Complete Series | "Voyagers" is one of those series that only gets better in my mind, thanks to nostalgia. My somewhat hazy recollections of quality aside, I do remember being 11 years old and waiting anxiously for each new episode. I even remember reading some young kids books that expounded on the TV adventures (yes, it's true. I've been a geek for an awful long time.).

It was only on for one season on NBC but the silly but simple setup for the show remains appealing to me: A clueless member of a group of time travelers who protect the integrity of history accidentally winds up spinning through the corridors of time with a kid from the present day with an affinity for history. To me, this was a concept laced in gold. You had the potential for action-packed storylines and a chance to provide a crash course in history to the kids watching at home (which even back in 1982 were woefully ignorant of U.S. and World History). Among the historical figures Phineas Bogg and young Jeffrey Jones (played by Meeno Peluce) encountered: George Washington, Joe Louis, Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, and Jack the Ripper! A shame it only lasted 20 episodes.

With any luck, 'history' will repeat itself and "Voyagers" - or a somewhat faithful inspiration - will pop up on TV again. For now, you should pick up "Voyagers: the Complete Series." It's available for as little as $36.99.




Harry Potter Gift Set

What's All The Hoopla Over Hogwarts? | The Harry Potter Years 1-5 Limited Gift Set is like the BMW of DVD box sets. Perfectly engineered with all the bells & whistles DVD aficionados have come to expect from a nice collection. The trunk packaging adds a nice 'sending the kids off to Hogwarts' look to it. Inside you have the two-disc editions of the first five Potter spectaculars, a Harry Potter interactive DVD game, three hours of extra content including a handful of U.S. and International TV specials on the various films and the Potter phenomenon, 16 collectible trading cards, 5 bookmarks...and probably 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree buried at the bottom.

It retails for over $100 but if you shop around you can find it for as little as $84. Of course, if you wait until the sixth Potter film comes out next year, this set will be much cheaper since they'll no doubt have a newer version of this set with Years 1-6. Gotta love those DVD box sets!




Ford at Fox


Ford At Fox" | Featuring 24 films , Ford at Fox is the definitive collection of John Ford, one of history's most revered directors.

The massive set also includes a documentary "Becoming John Ford," a hardcover book detailing Ford's legendary career as well as his greatest pictures, including:

  • "Up the River"

  • "Seas Beneath"

  • "Hangman's House" (which featured the screen debut of John Wayne)

  • "Pilgrimage"

  • "Drums Along the Mohawk"

  • "The Grapes of Wrath"

  • "How Green Was My Valley"

  • "My Darling Clementine"


And many more. A four-time Best Director Academy Award winner, Ford is best known for his Westerns but this collection shows he was equally adept at making great films of any genre, including comedies.
"Ford at Fox" is expensive, with a retail price of $299 or so, but it's well worth it for the cinephile in your life. There are also three mini-collections being released at more affordable prices: "The Essential John Ford," "John Ford's American Comedies" and "John Ford's Silent Epics."

As Seen On TV | Here's where to find more information on the items Jeffrey mentioned on the December 1 episode of REEL TALK.


Iron Man Collectible Subcast Figure
Because Everyone Wishes They Were Iron Man | Here’s a gift for the uber-geeky who still plays with toys: Upper Deck’s limited-edition designer toy subcast figure of Iron Man.

The subcast figure is an urban styled take on the high-end collectible figures that have become popular in recent years. Standing 10.5" tall , the polyresin statue really makes a statement wherever its displayed, in the office, library shelf …or the back room in the house or apartment where your wife lets you put all your nostalgic nonsense (that would be me).

Strictly limited to 2,000 pieces and retailing for $75, this one’s strictly for toy collectors or Iron Man aficionados. And with the “Iron Man” movie opening in May 2008, that club may be growing.

Find more info about the Iron Man subcast figure on the Upperdeck site.

Flight of the Conchords
Welcome Home The Duo From Down Under | Give your loved ones a belly workout with the first season of HBO's Flight of the Conchords. The funny folk duo of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement have given us Northerners another reason to love New Zealand.

Fans of Tenacious D and Monty Python will love this quirky sketch-comedy as the musical duo crosses the equator to New York's East Village with one mission -- to conquer USA one fan at a time.

Pick up HBO's Flight of the Conchords: The Complete First Season at any retailers like Best Buy and Circuit City.

Phone Home
Divorce Your Mailbox | This gift is more of a service rather than a tangible gift. But hey, it’s something that will cure insanity from the holiday season and it’s exactly what your hard-to-buy friend wants this year!

Vudu delivers your favorite flicks straight to your television without a computer or cable/satellite service. For instant access to 5,000 films, all you have to do is shell out the cost of the device (around 400 dollars) and have a broadband Internet connection. It’s pricey, but for those of us who hate waiting for our cued films to arrive in the mail – this would be money well spent

Twin Peaks
Come Visit "Twin Peaks" | Most people don't remember but "Twin Peaks" was a pop culture happening when it debuted in 1990, one of the first true water cooler shows of the decade. But it quickly wore out its welcome in Season 2 by simply being too 'out there' (even series creator David Lynch admits as much). This new set gives older viewers a chance to revisit the bizarre storylines and gives new fans a chance to see what what all that chatter was about.

This set has all sorts of commentaries and interviews with people connected to the show, and also has both the the original pilot that aired (which has never been available on home video before) and the European version, which has about 15 minutes of footage U.S. viewers never saw. And you also get a dozen postcards. So make a pot of black coffee, cut yourself a slice of Cherry Pie, and enjoy your visit to Twin Peaks, the strangest town you're ever going to come across.

You can purchase Twin Peaks - The Definitive Gold Box Edition at Amazon.com and other entertainment stores.

Star Trek
The Final Frontier | Here's a gift that will be perfect for showing off the HD DVD player many of you picked up during Black Friday. "Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One" HD DVD set features all 29 remastered episodes of Trek's debut season. Believe me when I say these are not the episodes you've seen a hundred times in syndication.

Paramount has cleaned up all the old episodes and digitally upgraded many of the outdated effects from Gene Roddenberry's timeless show. The difference between the old and new versions is incredible but also seamless so it doesn't distract from the viewing experience.

This gift isn't cheap (retails for $199 but you can find it online for as little as $132) so it's strictly for the Trek die-hard, but they will be in Trekkie heaven. Oh, there's also a mail-in offer for a Phaser remote control offer, so don't throw away the receipt. After all, who doesn't need a Phaser remote?
