The Toronto After Dark film festival has left it's claw marks all over the Big Smoke and in the fallout, audiences were floored by two feature length delights by Canadian film collective ASTRON-6. Father's Day, a revenge tale about a vigilante group tracking a “father-rapist,” and Manborg, a lo-fi, sci-fi epic about a cybernetically altered soldier facing the forces of Hell in the future, both made their Canadian theatrical premieres at TAD and have been receiving not but rave reviews since.

Halloween is coming up pretty fast. Do you want you see something more scary than a Saw movie, or more terrifying than a campfire gathering at Camp Crystal Lake? Baby here again, and if you want to see something really scary, then just try delivering a package here at Upcomingdiscs. I dare ya. You see, I'm the German Shepherd/Chow mix that runs security here, and trust me. This is one mix you don't wanna get mixed up with. And that spells B L O O D.
I finally did it. I managed to keep those UPS/Fed-Ex guys from getting a package through. Disney tried to get the latest Buddies movie in here, and I put a stop to that, for sure. Boy, is Gino really proud of me. Okay, I made that last part up. In fact, he's been using words that I never heard on a Disney film. He's not too happy that we won't be reviewing Spooky Buddies thanks to me. I'll bet that delivery guy is still running, but let's not talk about that right now. So now Gino's making me write something about it anyway. That's no fair. I don't even get to spend time in the theater for this one. Aren't there any dog labor laws or something that says he can't do that?

Direct to DVD comes #1 of 4 direct-to-DVD Futurama feature length movies - "Bender's Big Score." Of note: lots of PR flackery over the fact that this production is "carbon neutral" with Fox apparently ponying up for offset credits against CO2 releases from energy and materials used in production. The extras (after the jump) also include a "Terrifying Message from Al Gore" - Huzzah!
Uncancel your plans for the future — Futurama is back! In this all-new, feature-length epic, evil nudist aliens send Bender on a rampage through time, forcing him — slightly against his will — to steal all of Earth's priceless historic treasures. Will the heroic Planet Express crew save the planet? Will Leela find true love? Will the ancient and terrible secret of Fry's buttocks be exposed? All will be revealed in Futurama: Bender’s Big Score, the greatest adventure of our time, and also the greatest adventure of several other times! In the words of a certain beer-fueled robot . . . “We're back, baby!”

January 15th is the just announced release date for the Family Guy "Blue Farce" - apparently an extended version of the season six premier that is a protracted sendup of Star Wars.
I'd link to a trailer or some clips, but hey! Fox has taken everything related to this down off of YouTube. And of course, the Fox media site is lagging their press releases with no coverart, trailers, stills, or anything related to this release available. So enjoy some mildly descriptive text instead!
