Where else will you find Jim Belushi, Javier Bardem, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kevin Smith, and Trace Adkins in one column? Honestly, doesn't that speak for itself when it comes to the diversity of Play All. If there's one thing we don't play, it's favorites. TV, foreign films, trailer parks full of zombies, and Kevin Smith fans. You're all welcome. Leave your prejudices at the door before you hit Play All.

According to Jim: The Complete First Season
Studio: Lionsgate
Starring: Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith
Features: "The Season According to Jim" Featurette, Tour the "According to Jim" Set with Jim Belushi, Interviews with Cast and Crew, Gag Reel, Audio Commentaries

In my own personal horror movie marathon for the upcoming Halloween holiday, I might throw in an episode of According to Jim, a truly terrifying show. Honestly, I can't think of another series that was on (and still is on) as long as this ABC hit that didn't deserve to be. Can you believe how many great comedies have been canceled before their time and According to Jim has been on SEVEN YEARS?!?! It's mind-boggling. I know what it is. There's a comfort factor there in Jim Belushi's stereotypical portrayal of an everyman and there's something about a comedy that's not going to challenge you in the slightest that makes it an easy pick after a long day at work. Two and a Half Men taps a similar vein of familiarity (although is a vastly superior show.) But that show is a hit. According to Jim hasn't been a hit for years. I think Belushi must have signed a deal with the devil. Okay, the first season averaged 10 million viewers and finished in 55th place, a respectable finish for an ABC that you must remember was not very successful in the early '00s. But last season had half that number of viewers and this thing is still on the air. If you're one of those fans still watching According to Jim, now you can do so on DVD. Good luck.

Mondays in the Sun
Studio: Lionsgate
Starring: Javier Bardem
Features: Audio Commentary by Fernando Leon de Aranoa and Javier Bardem, Deleted Scenes, "Making of" Featurette, Storyboard to Scene Comparisons

Isn't it amazing what winning an Oscar will do for your older work? Javier Bardem wins the trophy for No Country For Old Men and, suddenly, movie studios remember that they have a few of his foreign language pics sitting on the shelf. Lionsgate has already slapped the Meridian Collection name on one of his earliest films, Extasis, but Bardem was already an international arthouse star when Mondays in the Sun hit theaters in 2002. He had already rocked the world in Live Flesh, Before Night Falls, and The Dancer Upstairs would open the same year. Just two years later, he would get awards for The Sea Inside and the Oscar was only five years away. So, Mondays in the Sun isn't "early Bardem" as much as it is "recent Bardem". Having said all of that, it's not one of my favorite Bardem flicks but it does show the impressive range of this excellent actor. It's a film about a group of five unemployed friends in Spain who dream of a better life. I wonder if Bardem was dreaming of an Oscar.

The New Adventures of Old Christine: Season Two
Studio: Warner Brothers
Starring: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Clark Gregg, Hamish Linklater, Trevor Gagnon, and Wanda Sykes
Features: Deleted Scenes, "Adventures in Blunders" Gag Reel

Has there ever been a show more defined by one star's performance? The awards and acclaim that Julia Louis-Dreyfus deservedly gets have kept The New Adventures of Old Christine on the air long after many, many people expected it to be canceled. Every year, those of us who write about TV are startled that Old Christine is getting another chance to find an audience and gain some steam. Could it still? Two-and-a-half years after its midseason debut? Anything is possible and if it's going to reverse the downward trend that's currently facing it on Wednesday nights, the ability of fans to catch up with the first two seasons on DVD will certainly help. The show definitely improved in the second season, finding its timing and comedic groove more confidently. It's no surprise considering that it's technically the only full season of the show with the first being a mid-season and the third being strike-shortened. With ratings keeping the survival of a fourth season up in the air (again), this could actually be the only full season of The New Adventures of Old Christine out of four. Weird. The DVD set is lacking in special features for a full season set but it does have Warner Brothers typically strong video and audio transfers. Fans won't be overjoyed but they'll be satisfied. Kind of like the show itself.

Trailer Park of Terror
Studio: Summit Entertainment
Starring: Nichole Hiltz, Priscilla Barnes and Trace Adkins (yes, THAT Trace Adkins)
Features: Interviews with the Trailer Park Zombies

I have a soft spot for ridiculous horror. It's because I grew up adoring Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movies that a good mix of guts and guffaws really works for me. Having said that, when horror/comedy goes wrong, BOY does it go wrong. I still blame Edgar Wright for making it look easy in Shaun of the Dead. I think that led to the resurgence of horror/comedies like Fido, Black Sheep, Severance, Undead, and, yes, Trailer Park of Terror. The stunningly beautiful Nichole Hiltz (In Plain Sight) plays a girl stuck in the worst trailer park in the world. The boys from Deliverance would run. After a really bad day, she's given a shotgun by the devil (Trace Adkins) and she goes on a shooting rampage before blowing the whole damn place sky high. When a group of teenagers stumble across the damned park, all zombie hell breaks loose. Trailer Park of Terror can't find a tone. It's not really funny. It's not really scary. It's not even really all that interesting to gorehounds. I like Hiltz's work on In Plain Sight, but she doesn't work here. Although it's not her fault. Nothing does. Only the most hardcore horror junkies, those who have worked through every entry of the Masters of Horror, After Dark, and Ghost House movies one by one, need take up lodging the Trailer Park of Terror.

Sold Out: A Threevening with Kevin Smith
Studio: The Weinstein Company
Starring: Kevin Smith
Features: None

Kevin Smith has turned the Q&A into such an art form that he can sell tickets, do it for hours, and sell it on a two-disc DVD. HOURS of Q&A over two discs about his movies, kids, growing up, etc. It's not exactly stand-up comedy, although it is funnier than most Comedy Central Presents and it's not exactly a monologue or a performance art piece although that's essentially the format. The best way to describe it? Kevin Smith talking. I've been lucky enough to actually speak to the man (whose best movie in years hits theaters next week) and he LOVES to talk. I sat down with him for 45 minutes and I swear, no exaggeration, I asked four questions. It adds a whole level of irony that most people don't get about his movies to the fact that Smith plays Silent Bob in the Clerks movies. He's anything but. But there's a reason that Kevin Smith sells out every time he takes the stage and it's not just diehard fans of Jersey Girl. He's one of the quickest and smartest writer/directors out there today and actually credits the first Evening with Kevin Smith with getting him roles in films like Catch and Release and Live Free or Die Hard. Stories about his dogs (about 20 minutes too much so), Jason Mewes on the set of Clerks II, why Hayden Christensen is mad at him, and why Superman Returns sucks are highlights of just the first disc. It's funny stuff. Check out Threevening and see for yourself.
