DVD slight return

The Universe Season Four from the History Channel, on 4 DVDs including a couple of extra segments on comets and meteors, epitomizes everything cool about cable downtime. You’re glued to the screen and you’re smarter afterwards. Of the twelve eps on four discs one features the top 10 ways to kill Earth. Another ep muses on science fiction versus science fact and references recent films like Star Trek and District 9. It takes how much electricity to beam aboard?
Another History Channel special, on a single disc, The Real Wolfman (94 minutes) ties together modern mythology with historical incidents. In other words most of the Wolfman movies and stories of the 20th and now current century owe allegiance to a series of over 100 murder in the mid-1700s in France. (Another recent feature film dealt with this occurrence - The Brotherhood of the Wolf, which came out in 2002.) There's some interesting paths The Real Werewolf tracks. Additionally we're privy to a scientific experiment where silver bullets are fired alongside regular bullets in ballistics tests. Perhaps it's no surprise the silver bullets are less powerful.
Fix has all the elements to be a great ride. But it's almost the opposite - a very hard sit. This indie film from 2008 has a bunch of beautiful people driving around L.A. in a car with the loosest of plots. The dialogue drags and even the impromptu moments seem dull. Olivia Wilde is on constant display as she's the main driver but even her comfort with the camera can't make Fix matter. We see all sorts of underground and gangster digs as the cast of Fix attempts to get their friend into rehab by financing his stay with a drug deal. You've been warned. Fix actually has two commentary tracks, one with the director and one with the actors. A little vanity goes a long way.
