Telling you what’s worth buying each and every week, it’s Awesome-O-Rama!

We continue in a wash week from the world of gaming and comics, as all of the big gaming and comic collections have already snuck out, but in the world of movies, the blockbuster releases continue through December, with big releases this week, on the 22nd and the 29th (for those with niggling gift cards.)  As always, click the title to buy it at our official awesome partner, Amazon.com.

The Hangover If you had told me at the beginning of the summer that this film would not only be wildly successful, but the MOST successful comedy of ALL time, I’d say you were a liar.  But here we go with Zach Galfinakis, the surreal comedian being in one of the biggest movies of the year. The success wasn’t just on his shoulders, however, with great performances from Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, plus Heather Graham as a hooker with a heart of gold. Click the title above for the blu release, here for the 2-disc DVD, and here for the standard 1-disc release.

Inglourious Basterds Quentin Tarantino’s return to the silver screen brought a tense Nazi tale that was all his own.  Sure, it wasn’t the film that the ads promised (if anything, the Basterds make up, oh, 50% of the film), but it was a tense ride that I cannot wait to take again. And given it’s multiple Golden Globe noms this morning, I wasn’t the only one who loved every minute. Again, click the title for the blu, here for the 2-disc, and here for the single disc.

The Mel Brooks Collection I don’t know why, but it seems less and less people give the proper credit to Mel Brooks.  Sure, he’s spent the better part of the last 10 years turning his legacy into a series of never ending musicals, but let us not forget what made his name - a series of amazing, rarely topped comedic gems. And this blu-ray set throws them all together, most of which have yet to be released in high def. I hope to check it out, but given the holiday season, it’s a bit pricey for me right now. But hey, if you know someone who’d dig it, or you yourself want it, click the name for it.  Or here, for the DVD set released a few years back.

With just a week and change until Christmas, the shopping season is on. May these titles be apart of your cart this week. Until next Tuesday, this has been…Awesome-O-Rama.
