Our friends at A&E & Lifetime have given us two movies to give away to a couple of lucky readers. We have Girl Fight with Anne Heche and James Tupper along with The Bell Ring Yn Chang and Austin Butler.

To win just follow these instructions.

"I'm a consulting detective of some repute. Perhaps you've heard of me? My name is Sherlock Holmes."

In 1887, readers of the popular periodical Beeton’s Christmas Annual were to receive quite a special treat. There wasn’t much fanfare or hype to the event. Inside the pages of the magazine was a story called A Study In Scarlet. It was a detective story, perhaps like many published before, except for the detective himself, a certain Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Together with his faithful companion and chronicler Dr. Watson, Holmes would win the hearts of those holiday readers.

In celebration of the release of Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp coming out on DVD, I had the chance to talk to Bernie Kopell. Most of you might remember him as Siegfried, Max's archenemy on Get Smart or Doc from The Love Boat for 250 episodes. Bang it here to listen in on the conversation: Bernie Kopell Interview

Proceeds from the release go to the Wildlife Waystation where Lance is enjoying his retirement. Bank it here to see what they're up to: Wildlife Waystation

Our wonderful friends at A&E and History have given us a monster Father's Day package to give away. It's a wonderful chance to share some great A&E titles with your pop. Here's what you'll get:

WWII IN HD on Blu-ray. This 4-disc collection is the sharpest footage ever of WWII and in color.

It's the next shocking release in the Bloody Disgusting Selects Series.  very cool friends at Salient Media have given us a  copy of Exit Humanity on DVD to give away.  It's been 10 years since the American Civil War and now the place is crawling with Zombies.

To win this DVD just follow these instructions.

"In the 19th century Jules Verne wrote some of the greatest adventure stories ever told. Novels such as 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Journey To The Center Of The Earth and The Mysterious Island. Most consider these works of science fiction. Vernians know otherwise."

In 2008 Brendan Frasier had himself a rather unexpected hit with Journey To The Center Of The Earth. That film posed the fantastic question: What if the works of Jules Verne were not based on fantasy at all, but rather actual events, people and places

"Before my father died, he said that the worst thing about growing old was that other men stopped seeing you as dangerous. I've always remembered that, how being dangerous was sacred, a badge of honor. You live your life by a code, an ethos. Everyone does. It's your shoreline. It's what guides you home. And, trust me, you're always trying to go home."

It would be easy to dismiss Act Of Valor as either a recruiting tool piece of propaganda or yet another in an endless line of war films attempting to capture some form of authenticity.

"I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story ... and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years? You never know what is going to come through that door."

Remember that PBS show where some old-stuff expert would come to your town and sift through a lot of junk that folks found in their basements or attics?

"I'm Brad Meltzer. I've spent my life collecting stories. The best include signs, symbols, and coded messages that are hidden in plain sight. Some have become the basis for my novels. But I've only scratched the surface of what's out there, and now History has given me the resources to investigate the rest. This is Decoded."

What if I told you there was an author out there who was known for writing novels that include historical conspiracies, secret societies and buried treasures, and that this author has found a way to parlay his moderate writing success into a television series for History?

If you happen to be a fan of wrestling and horror films of the 1980's Jesse Thomas Cook has a two-for-one deal with Monster Brawl. I had the opportunity to chat with him for a few minutes about the new project.

The film features Lance Henriksen, Art Hindle, David Foley, Jimmy Hart and Kevin Nash. 8 classic monsters battle in a PPV style competition in an isolated graveyard. Our review will be along soon. Until then, bang it here to hear my chat with Jesse: Jesse Cook Interview
