Journey to the Center of the Earth - Shipping Tomorrow

From the Publisher
This 2008 movie update of Jules Verne's classic sci-fi/fantasy novel uses the 1864 tale as a template, with its hero, scientist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), referring to his missing brother's notes on the novel. His nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) in tow, Anderson travels to Iceland to investigate his sibling's theories, enlisting a fellow scientist's daughter, Hannah (Anita Briem), as a guide. Soon the trio's Icelandic mountain trek descends into a cave and, then deeper still to, naturally, the center of the earth, where dinosaurs and other strange prehistoric creatures still dwell. After many dangerous encounters with the native flora and fauna, Trevor, Sean, and Hannah must find a way back to the surface or face being stranded miles below the earth's crust.

Blu-ray edition Bonus Features:
* 4 pairs of 3-D glasses
* Audio Commentary by Brendan Fraser and director Eric Brevig

Kit Kittredge: All American Girl - Shipping Tomorrow

From the Publisher
Aspiring reporter Kit Kittredge can't resist bringing home strays, whether it's Grace, an abandoned basset hound, or Will and Countee, a pair of young hobos willing to trade work for meals. Bright, inquisitive and generous, Kit is a natural born leader. But her happy childhood is abruptly interrupted when her father loses his car dealership and must leave Cincinnati to look for work. Kit and her mother Margaret are left to manage on their own, growing vegetables, selling eggs and even taking in an assortment of boarders including an itinerant magician, a vivacious dance instructor on the prowl for a husband and a zany mobile librarian.

When a crime spree sweeps Cincinnati, all signs point to the local "hobo jungle," where Will and Countee live with a group of their impoverished companions. Kit, who always has her antennae out for a good news story, convinces her new friends to take her to see the hobo camp for herself and writes an article that creates a sympathetic portrait of the camp's residents. But when Kit's mother and their boarders become the latest victims in a string of robberies, Kit's loyalties are tested. Will is accused of the crimes and, with all of their savings gone, the Kittredges face losing their house to foreclosure.

Dragon Ball Z Silver Chain - Import Preorder

In New York City, chain snatchings are fairly common and they're not pleasant to witness. The snatcher is normally fleet-footed and snarling while the snatchee is usually in agony due to the multiple deep scratches on his/her neck. It's an ugly business that will continue to go on as long as there are shiny chains hung on vulnerable necks.

Cospa has started preorders for a 74cm (29.13") Dragon Ball Z Silver Chain that will likely be the target of chain snatchers the world over. There's regular "bling" and then there's DBZ Bling which is one order higher on the chain-snatching-targeting totem pole. Ignore the fact that the chain is made of silver rather than gold and feast your eyes on the seven Dragon Balls linked in equidistant spacing on the chain. That's special and something beautiful to behold. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2008 at US$50 from NCS.

Rhythm de Cooking - Import Preorder

Back in 2006, Cooking Mama gave gamers a way to cook food by tapping and swishing on the touch screen of the Nintendo DS. Cooking Mama 2 which was released in 2007 was more of the same but as of this week, Cooking Mama 3 hasn't been announced. In other words, there's won't be any virtual cooking love in 2008.

That is, until MTO got into the game. Since Cooking Mama is a no-show this year, it's up to Rhythm de Cooking to fill the void. Instead of preparing meals however, MTO's game is all about making 90 types of sweets, pastries, and confections along with various toppings and special ingredients. A total of 30 music selections from the genres of J-Pop, animation, and classical accompany the rhythm-based action.
