DVD Talk can be seen on TV nationally every week on The Screen Savers and in Portland every month on ABC TV.

It's been a blast bringing you DVD News, Reviews and Info over the past six years and we look forward to the next year as we continue to build and grow what we offer our readers.

DVD Talk's Bits and Extras is back with another installment. This week we were faced a difficult choice: watch The Forgotten in it's theatrical or extended edition - see what we chose and how we fared. We're not huge fans of the bonus music DVD often packaged with CD releases, but this week were wowed by the Nirvana - With The Lights Out DVD. When Wonderfalls got canceled after only 4 episodes we were up in arms, now that all 13 episodes are out on DVD we're starting to see why the network axed it. Finally it might be blasphemy but it turns out that the Culkin brothers really CAN act, and we've got proof. All this and more in the DVD Talk's Bits and Extras Column.

A number of great clips from DVDs this week including: The Forgotten with an interview with stars Julianne Moore and Dominic West and interview with director Joseph Ruben and writer Gerald Di Pego. Several clips from Alien vs. Predator [Review] including: a behind the scenes look at the Predator mask, Predator and Alien creature designs, the Origin of Alien vs. Predator the concept behind the film, behind the scenes look at the special effects and choosing the perfect cast. Also clips from: Friday Night Lights [Review], Monk: Season 2 [Review], Little Black Book [Review] and Dig.
