Choice off the week for movies has to be Paul, the wonderful Pegg and Frost romp across the American southwest in the liberation of aliens assault. It isn’t the only silly fun option, though, as the film Your Highness also becomes available on Tuesday. The film Super may also be a comedy, but not silly; more in the black comedy range, with some serious issues lurking just beneath the surface. I’m thinking all three of these need to follow me home this week.

In TV, the Tom Baker era Dr. Who: The Sun Makers is the only offering of note this time around. Companions Leela (Louise Jameson) and K9 round out the primary cast, with Leela’s eternal question of why can we not kill them? being prominent.

In western animation, Mars Needs Moms is the Disney feature film with an all star voice cast and some quality animation work.

In Anime, Soul Eater: Parts 3 & 4 is being released in a combined box set under the title Soul Eater: The Weapon Collection at a considerable savings over buying the two seasons separately. Parts 1 and 2 were released a bit ago in a combined edition as well, under the title The Meister Collection, which means by shopping around you can pick up the entire 4 season series for about $50.

Tomorrow, on July 22nd,the Cartoon Network will be presenting their Lego Star Wars TV Special, and it should be a lot of fun. Thanks to SFX for the heads up on this one. Called Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace, it has characters from every incarnation of Star Wars built so far, is written by the folks who do The Simpsons, and animated b the team who created Happy Feet. Nice to know that the franchise continues to evolve and perhaps even be a bit silly on occasion.

Studio Ghibli is releasing their version of the children’s classic The Borrowers under the title Arrietty, the name of the 14 year old protagonist. That’s the DVD release, the movie was on the big screen last year in Japan, and this past January for the rest of Asia. They are actually releasing it in three versions, the original Japanese with subtitles, a US English dub being released here on February 17th, 2012, and a UK English dub coming out on the 29th (yes, later this month). The trailer is from the UK dub, thanks to io9 for the heads up.

We finally get to see how it ends in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and I fully expect this to crush the competition for the week, probably the month, and possibly the summer. It is not the only film worth checking out this week, for in limited release we have the period piece Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, while opening everywhere is the latest incarnation of the Dizneyized Winnie The Pooh. Three guesses which one I will be seeing.

The film choice this time is a toss up between two movies. On the one hand we have an an animation: Rango, starring Johnny Depp, a comedy about a lizard in the wild west. On the other hand, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is a live action story full of heart and its own fair share of humor. There was also supposed to be a Sci-Fi Noir film staring Antonio Banderas called Terranova coming out this week, but I haven’t found any solid information on it.

The western TV selection of the week is Robot Chicken Star Wars: Episode III. I still can’t believe they got George Lucas to do his own voiceover for these.

In Anime, Naruto: Shippuden (DVD box 7) brings us the next season in that series with more Ninja action and drama. The DVD release schedule is around a hundred episodes behind what you can watch online with the latest seasons simulcast. Finally, >Allison & Lillia DVD Generation 2 turns a simple vacation into a fight against all the people trying to kill them, complete with a liberal dose of aerial combat.

Season 9 of Red Vs. Blue is now running, with the first 3 episodes already posted online. This is personally my favorite Machinema of all time, and while I thought they were done at eight seasons, I am very happy to be proven wrong. If this is new to you, the first 8 seasons are also posted online, so you can start at the beginning. If you are as blown away as I was by this show, you will end up getting the DVDs for your permanent collection.
