New to DVD this week - "Iron Man," the superhero film based on the Marvel comic book series, hits shelves Tuesday. The flick is about engineering prodigy Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr, "Tropic Thunder") who constructs an armored suit in order to escape from certain death. Assisted by Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow, Bounce"), Stark ultimately decides to recreate this new idea to fight evil. With time, he realizes the weapon company he heads, along with his father's right-hand man Obadiah Stone (Jeff Bridges) faces some serious problems as well.
New to CD this week - Also released next Tuesday, "Best of Red Hot Chili Peppers." A definite must-have for any funk-loving music fan, the album includes covers of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," and Sly and the Family Stone's "If You Want Me To Stay." It is a colorful mix of tributes and original music. This album contains songs dating back to their debut album released in 1983, and is packed full of the roots of their sound. As lead singer and front man Anthony Keidis put it, "the kinetic, stabbing, angular, shocking assault force of sound and energy."
New season on TV - Tonight, the comedy, "The Office," the TV show introduced in 2005, is back for its fifth season. "The Office" consists of the egotistical branch manager of a paper company, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell), and various other characters, like Jim Halpert (Jim Krasinski) and Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), that are followed throughout the day, revealing all of their practical jokes on one another.
