Ho! Have you seen the “Baddest Mofo in a Cardigan Sweater” video? Bob Saget is definitely not on Santa’s good list. No, I’m not linking to it, so as to protect people’s illusions about Bob Saget’s family values. But if you search on YouTube, you will find. But – before Saget went bad, there was Full House! Yes, welcome back to the 12 Days Of Contests, Day 8. The TV-on-DVD theme continues, with the eighth season of Full House up for grabs. If you want an idea of what’s in store, check out the reviews for Season Four and Season Five. The verdict? Great releases for fans of Saget-humour or masochists. (don’t get me started on the twins – shudder)

If I may make a recommendation: check out our TV-on-DVD section for lots of other series on DVD, or if you’re seeking Saget-free humour, our comedy section is a good starting point. If you need some instant gratification, we’ve got 36 comedy trailers ready to go for you too.

Might you be curious to what discs are hitting the streets in the coming weeks? If so, feel free to check out our Release Calendar!

Ho HO HO!! Welcome back to the 12 Days Of Contests, Day 2 Edition! Yesterday (well, this morning) we opened up for entries on one copy of ALIEN SEIGE. Now you’re probably wondering how we could top the raw festiveness of a blood devouring alien rampage – well, how about 2 copies of the Ben Affleck fueled interpretation of Pearl Harbor in Glorious Blu-ray Vision!

In all seriousness: say what you will about this movie and Mr. Affleck, the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor was a truly infamous day: it saw the death of thousands, the end of America’s perceived aloofness, and the true beginning of World War II. You can read all about the attack on the National Geographic special site.

Again, say what you will about the movie, it does include a spectacularly harrowing recreation of the attack which I imagine would shine in a high-def format. We reviewed the Blu-ray Pearl Harbor release here.

Merry Christmas, readers all! In celebration of the season, UpcomingDiscs is going to merrily subject you too… 12 DAYS OF CONTESTS! Its a little holiday-themed fun, a way to put something in your stocking in early to mid-January (mail is slow, sorry), and our festive “thank-you” to the readers that make up our community and keep things lively.

As an added (stupendous) twist, were actually tying the prizes to the days: the first day gets a single disc release; the second day’s contest – two discs. By the 12 day (wait for it…) 12 DISCS ARE BEING GIVEN AWAY. Now – by the end, we might be talking about one box set with 12 discs, or a tasteful collection of 12 individual titles – but rest assured, that’s a no-foolin’ massive quantity of material coming your way.

So without further preamble…

December 12 (ok, this one is a day late, so were going to cram in two today, of which this is the first…)

What could be more festive, than the Sci-Fi Essentials release of ALIEN SEIGE, which comes to you with the merry tagline of “They’ve come for our blood!” Why aliens could possibly need liquified humans to save their planet is beyond me, but then again, I believed in Santa Clause until I was 16, so I’m willing to suspend my disbelief for this one too and embrace what appears to be a decent sci-fi romp.

As always, please enter by commenting below, don’t post your address, etc. And stay tuned for contest number 2, coming later today!

Contest is open to residents of the U.S. & Canada only, and will conclude on Tuesday, January 1st. Winners to be announced shortly thereafter.

Please – only one entry per person per contest!
