“Southland Tales” drops on DVD tomorrow, and our advanced copy just arrived here at the offices — We’ll be checking in with a capsule review shortly. As Kevin’s role in the film is quite small, from what we’re told, we’ll be focusing on a general look at the disc and the part Mr. Smith plays. We haven’t had the chance to see the flick yet, and are excited to finally do so. Unfortunately, it looks like the disc is the theatrical cut, and only with a couple small extra bits. If there’s enough interest, perhaps Kelly will get to release his own vision like he did with “Donnie Darko”. Pick up your copy in stores everywhere tomorrow, and of course if you’re in the LA area or want a fair web price, check out Laser Blazer.

We applaud Regal Cinemas, who just today announced that they will indeed screen R-rated “red band” trailers with their R-rated films. Cinemablend even uses View Askew and Seth Rogen as examples for good uses of the practice. Hey, here’s hoping we can see an R-Rated trailer before “Pineapple Express” at Regal Cinemas this summer! Some experts are suggesting this may lead to other chains adopting the same practice, and we’re all for it. The last time I recall seeing an R-rated trailer theatrically was a hilarious “Eddie Murphy: Raw” trailer that played before “Plains, Trains and Automobiles”. Yep, a WHILE ago.

And finally today, UK’ers, if you’re gonna drink a cup of coffee, why not Nascafe’s “Blend 37″? We’ll see ya next time…
