Of course the biggest DVD news for this week is the release of Heroes Season 2. If you haven’t followed the show at all, then grab season 1 and this new release and get caught up now with one of the best shows on television. Trust me. As for other movies out this week, What Happens in Vegas looks like a pretty decent comedy and Redbelt looks like some action. The reason I’m real interested in Redbelt is that it was directed by David Mamet (CBS’s The Unit and the movie Spartan) and it’s very much of a Jiu-Jitsu movie. I’m a UFC fan so I’m going to have to see it
Super awesome that Heroes will be coming back in (sob) 4 months from now, but a three-hour premiere is a pretty decent thing. I really hope season 2.1 comes out on DVD soon though because I’ve forgotten what’s happened. I’m sure they’ll play some lead up episodes to re-spark my memory when the time is close. It’s such a great show.

Over one million votes were responsible in putting together the two new heroes in the Create Your Hero campaign. Now, you decide which hero will star in a new, online, live-action series.
Will it be Santiago?
It was one Sunday after mass when Santiago first discovered his powers. He was playing soccer with his friends in a dusty lot, when he suddenly realized that he was faster - much faster - than his opponents. In fact he was so fast, that he had to hide his ability in order not to attract too much attention.
Or Audrey?
It is while working behind the counter at the bakery that Audrey discovers her power - the power to affect the speed of other people. Audrey can speed people up, or slow them down to a crawl.
Suddenly everything is possible. Audrey can easily help her sick mother, finish her homework on time, and hang out with her friends - practically all at the same time.
