The Latest on DVD: Rats & Sickos, Mop Tops & Go-Go Boys

And that's just the beginning of this week's new DVDs:

Featured titles:
- Ratatouille: Or, as Big Edie calls it, Ratatootie. Visit Laughing Place for my full Toon Talk review.
- Sicko: Michael Moore's controversial (eh, redundant) probe of our nation's health care system.
- Help!: The Fab Five in their fab follow-up to A Hard Day's Night, also available in a deluxe edition.
- Go Go G-Boys: Two best friends enter the G-Boys Beauty Contest ... except one is straight.

More Pixar picks:
- Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 1: Includes such classics as Luxo Jr., Tin Toy, Geri's Game, For the Boys, Boundin' ... the list goes on.
- Cars: Zoomin' on to Blu-ray, for the first time.

More box sets and special editions:
- James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set: The 21 "official" 007 movies to date (each with a bonus disc, making it a whopping 42 discs), but David Niven fans don't fret ...
- Casino Royale: 40th Anniversary Edition: I don't think four decades have made it any better though.
- Leading Ladies Collection Volume 2: A catch-all release of five femme-centric films (also available individually): Susan Hayward in I'll Cry Tomorrow, Joanne Woodward in A Big Hand for the Little Lady, Diane Keaton in Shot the Moon, Sandy Dennis in Up the Down Staircase and Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen in Rich and Famous (George Cukor's final film).

TV time:
- Wonder Woman - The Complete Collection: Grab your magic lasso and get ready to spin.
- Gilligan's Island - The Complete Series Collection: Something to fill up your own three-hour tour.
- The X-Files: The Ultimate Collection: Or as ultimate as you can get before the next movie comes out.

And just in case you weren't gay enough:
- Long-Term Relationship: Can one find a soul mate through the personal ads? And are there still personal ads?
- Rock Haven: Can one overcome a devout faith to find true love with the hot boy next-door? What do you think?
- Pantasaya: Pizza boy, cable guy or a locker roomful of jocks ... which would you choose? And do you really have to pick just one?

- Eternal Summer: The relationship of two lifelong friends takes an unexpected turn when a girl enters the picture.
