Page 18 THE VILLADOM TIMES II & IV • October 2, 2013 DVD releases (continued from Restaurant page) has mostly a young male cast, Emma Watson has a neat cameo. Bonus material on the 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack includes deleted scenes, gag reel, blooper reel, six fea- turettes, commentary by co-directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and “Jay & Seth v. the Apocalypse,” the original short that inspired the feature. “Cold War” (Lionsgate) takes place in Hong Kong, the safest city in Asia because of the police department’s reputation as incorruptible. Then a fully-loaded police van carrying five highly trained officers and equipment disap- pears. After a number of cryptic phone calls, it becomes clear that the hijackers are aware of every crucial decision the task force makes. As the perpetrators execute a care- fully planned attack, the police do their best to fight back, unaware they have become unwitting pawns in a bigger, more dangerous game. This action flick never bogs down, and tension is main- tained scene after scene. However, the plot becomes need- lessly complex and tends to become confusing as the story progresses. The last scene, set on a roof, is spectacular, but perplexing. It seems tacked on from another movie. The film has an interesting political subtext in that the action takes place in Hong Kong 15 years after it was handed back to China. The only bonus is a making-of featurette. “Robot Chicken: Season 6” (Adult Swim), which will available Oct. 8, is a pleasure to behold because of its combination of old-school stop motion animation and cut- ting-edge satire. Stop motion involves frame-by-frame photography of inanimate objects moved slightly for each shot. Running the film at normal speed creates the illu- sion of motion. This is the technique used in the original “King Kong,” the Ray Harryhausen monster and fantasy movies of the 1950s (“Earth v. the Flying Saucers,” “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad”), and more recently “Wallace and Gromit.” “Robot Chicken” was co-created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich to bring parodies to life in a modern take on the variety/sketch show format. The show sends up pop culture, including toys, movies, TV, and fads, and more obscure references like anime cartoons and older television programs. Think of it as the stop motion “Satur- day Night Live.” Featuring all 20 episodes from the series’ latest season, the set contains behind-the-scenes footage, outtakes, deleted scenes, and lots of insider information that fans of the show will love. “Robot Chicken” Season 6” is available in single-disc Blu-ray and two-disc DVD editions.
