Synopsis

ByungGu, an ordinary young man living in Korea, believes that all of the earth’s social ills are the evil work of aliens. That's why he knows that unless he can meet the prince from Andromeda before the total lunar eclipse, planet earth will be in grave danger. To meet the prince, he must find an extraterrestrial living on earth. So ByungGu kidnaps the most logical suspect, KANG ManShik, the president and CEO of YooJae Chemical Company. Thus starts the battle between ByungGu, who’s trying to uncover a secret alien plot to destroy the earth, and CEO Kang, who thinks ByungGu is nuts and is trying desperately to escape from him. Only four hours remain until the total lunar eclipse. When the eclipse is over, time will run out for planet earth. Can ByungGu single-handedly save the planet?

DVD Releases for September 6, 2005 - Updated!

September 5th, 2005

An amazing selection this week with plenty of high quality releases. Of course, there's also a whole lot of quantity releases as well, so navigating your way through the hubbub might be tricky. The best of the first run releases is Crash - Buy from Amazon, the best of the special editions is Toy Story - Tenth Anniversary Edition - Buy from Amazon, and the best of the TV on DVD releases is Lost - The Complete First Season - Buy from Amazon. All three are excellent choices and deserve to be DVD Pick of the Week, but I have a feeling a Special Edition of Crash will come out sooner than later and would hold of on that one till after the New Year. Also, Degrassi Junior High - Season 3 - Buy from Amazon is a must have for all the fellow Canucks out there and worth picking up for everyone else. More...
