The summer is officially here and we’ve got a lot of great titles for those that don’t feel like heading out to theatres in the heat, having their feet stick to the dirty floor, eating stale popcorn, and paying just as much for a ticket that they would for a DVD. Our first week in June brings a wide array of titles including new seasons of Rescue Me, Flavor Of Love, Weeds, and Dead Zone. If you want some action then be sure to check out UFC Ultimate Knockouts Volume 5 or the ultimate set of Dirty Harry. And if you want comedy, be sure to grab Meet The Spartans. Wait…comedy? That can’t be right. Oh sorry, I meant depression and money well wasted. But there’s plenty more to gather up folks so let’s get some mud and finger-paint a list out.
Adapted from the novel by Michael Crichton, this suspenseful miniseries begins when a satellite falls to Earth, bringing with it a deadly extraterrestrial virus. Now a crack team of scientists have but a short time to stop the constantly mutating menace before it wipes out all human life.
