Each week there are a large number of DVDs that come out and I will attempt to pick the ones that you are most likely to know about, or the ones that I think need to be seen by more people.

A pair of good trips to the theater, some great Netflix rentals, and a ton of college football filled this week for me.  One of the movies I saw in theaters, The Guard starring Brendan Gleeson, is now one of my favorite movies of the year.  I also finally got around to seeing two sci-fi classics at home.  To see what I’m talking about, hit the jump.

Here we are.  It’s Labor Day weekend, typically one of the worst movie weekends of the year.  There might be a few decent films releasing this week, but probably nothing you can’t pass on and save your money for better films that will be coming out over the next month.  Hit the jump to see what’s coming out this week.

This edition has been a few weeks in the making.  I have seemed to be completely busy every Monday when I would normally work on the article.  Not to mention that I’ve been trying to figure out the right format for the article, and how much content I should include.  At any rate, here is the 2nd Edition, which is a little more bare bones that it will usually be.  Hit the jump to check out the last few weeks in review.

Site News – Transitional Times…

763d6c3ef2412652ed3553b58429a39b Site News   Transitional Times...

spacer Site News   Transitional Times...Hey Lazy Cyborg followers.  This last week has been a bit slower than the first few weeks of the site, and I just wanted to keep you informed.  Chris and I are in the process of moving and packing and such, so that has taken up a decent amount of our time.  We will try to get as much content as possible over the next month, but this is a crazy time for us and we probably won’t be up to full capacity until the move is complete in early October.  I am hoping to still be able to get up all the weekly articles.  The ‘Week in Review’ article has been giving me some trouble the last couple of weeks, but I hope to have the second edition complete for tonight.  Also the multiple daily casting articles were getting to be a bit much for the time being, so I will be switching over to a weekly article wrapping up the most recent casting news, and that should hopefully be up every Wednesday.  I’m going to try it out and see if it sticks.

We at Lazy Cyborg thank you for your support and patience as our site goes though its growing pains and we try to find our groove.  Stay tuned!

I wasn’t able to post this yesterday on it’s usual weekly date, but I figured it was still worth getting done.  This is usually one of the slower weeks of the year, as studios tend to dump off their undesirable properties here.  Still, there could be a couple solid films.  One of my most anticipated films is opening this week, and I’ve already seen another film that was a pleasant surprise.  I’ll address that one first in the article.  Hit the jump to see what films I’m talking about.

‘Battlestar’ Vet Tricia Helfer for NBC’s ‘The Firm’

Battlestar Galactica actress Tricia Helfer has lined up a recurring role on NBC’s upcoming drama series The Firm.  The show is based on John Grisham’s  best-selling novel and the 1993 Tom Cruise film, but is set ten years later.  Josh Lucas takes over Cruise’s role of Mitch McDeere as he and his wife Abby (Molly Parker) try to start a new life in Washington D.C.  According to TVline, Helfer will play Alex Clark, the senior partner of Kinross & Clark, who brings in Mitch as a partner.  Also in the cast are Juliette Lewis as Tammy, Mitch’s “feisty” receptionist, and another BSG star Callum Keith Rennie as Ray McDeere, Mitch’s volatile older brother.  Production on the series is currently underway in Toronto, and it is being set up as a midseason replacement for NBC.

As a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica, it is nice to see a lot of the show’s stars getting lots more work in the Hollywood TV world.  In addition to Helfer and Rennie, other Battlestar vets including Jamie Bamber (Apollo), Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck), and James Callis (Dr. Baltar), among others, have lined up series regular gigs.  Mary McDonnell (President Roslin) joined the cast of TNT’s The Closer last year, while Grace Park (Athena/Boomer) will be starting her second season on CBS’ Hawaii Five-O in September.
