I'm reasonably certain I saw the first and second Final Destination movies back-to-back on DVD. The first one was kind of novel and different, but either the second one made me fall asleep, or I'd had a lot of wine and it was late. The Final Destination, expected to be the very last one ever until they "maybe make another one, who knows" is a nice, gimmicky send-off to the franchise.

I don't know if they intentionally jabbed at how they set up a bunch of rules for the "universe" of FD and then broke all of them, but I thought the movie was hilarious. They went as broad with the stereotypes as they could and made a 3D movie theater the site of a mass killing in a movie that was going to screen predominantly in 3D venues. The only rules that the movie sticks to are that (1) you shouldn't give a shit about anyone in the movie and (2) keep your arms inside the ride at all times.

The "exclusive first look" at the new Nightmare on Elm Street movie is little more than some side glances as the new Freddy makeup and some sincere graciousness on Jackie Earle Haley's part. The two alternate endings really show how terrible, terrible decisions are avoided. There's some pre-visualization and storyboard stuff in there along with a "Deaths of..." featurette that is similar to other titles where members of the cast and crew talk through how people die and how hard their work is on a day-to-day basis. The only extras that aren't exclusive to the Blu-ray are the digital copy, the anaglyph (red/blue) 3D version of the movie, and some additional scenes. None of the additional scenes really add much of anything, to be quite honest.

If you want to get it, Amazon is selling the Blu-ray for $20 as of this posting, just $3 more than the DVD without all the real extras. This $20 New Release pricing is a good sign.
