Two halves do in fact make a whole, as Dave and Mac come together for yet another action-packed, 30 min, Britney-free, entertainment extravaganza. Mac is underwhelmed by CLOVERFIELD but overjoyed by KING OF KONG, while Dave is jazzed by "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" for the PS3 and "Rock Band" for the Xbox 360. On the DVD front, three's are the magic number. Mac previews his take on Beauty and the Beast: The Third Season and Dave channels Mr. T for his critique of Criss Angel: Mindfreak: Season Three. Follow that up with a rundown of Feb 5 upcoming releases, on the way to this week's Ambush Topic minefield, where we travel the world with James Bond, Doctor Who, Superman, and Lorenzo Lamas?

Sub-zero cold, blizzard conditions, a dead van, keys locked in the car, a thrown-out back, and problematic audio processing can't stop us from delivering this special 39th Birthday edition of View from the Couch. This week's flick-swap is MISSISSIPPI BURNING, while Michelle and the kids review two new MAGGIE AND THE FEROCIOUS BEAST titles available February 5 from Shout! Factory. It's all singing, all dancing, all observational comedy madness. Enjoy!

The weekend is upon us and the award (yet to be determined) winning show is back to kill another half hour of your day. This week, the boys tackle Jet Li, Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Peter Berg, Jessica Simpson, and Billy Bob Thornton. Escaping from that Hollywood melee, Dave and Mac dive head first into the Jan 29 cover art gallery, where power yoga meets punk rockers, video game champs take on oversized Maine alligators, and Ricco the Mean Machine visits the Barn of the Naked Dead. With only minor appendages missing, they hobble onto the Ambush Topic battlefield for a tour de force of stinky winkies, shark attacks, awkward time travel, strange creatures who dance well, and death by grinding.

p>B-day season is rapidly approaching for Kent... and Michelle has forgotten. But they recently built a new deck, are starting to remodel their kitchen, and did purchase a $400 robotic horse.

Michelle and the kids tackle reviews of Jakers: Spooky Stories and Caillou's (Hairless) Playschool Adventures. The musical underscore returns next week, retooled and less distracting. Enjoy!

Dave and Mac are triumphantly reunited, following Mac's diabolical computer crash three weeks ago. Sadly, this unfortunate setback booted Mac's Vampire/Dragon novel out of the "Write a novel in one month" contest. On a happier note, the boys spend this episode dissecting Bob Zemekis' BEOWULF in 2D and 3D and the quirky new documentary THE KING OF KONG; suffering the wasteland of new television due to the writer's strike; Mac's take on Cartoon Network's live-action BEN 10 movie; and perusing the upcoming releases for December 4th, including PIRATES 3, SUPERBAD, NANNY DIARIES, 24: SEASON 6, and BSG: SEASON ONE in HD. While it may take them a couple episode to regain their groove, Ambush Topics like these will carry them through: Hammers on film; Creatures with more than one head; Memorable tentacles; Who wins in a tag team cage match between Aragorn & Boromir and Inigo & Westley? You make the call. Enjoy! You can email the boys your questions, complaints, and suggestions at fridayfilibuster@dvdverdict

Kent falls prey to Strep Throat in this week's shortened, snow covered show. Thankfully, Michelle is here to pick up the slack, with her Flick Swap review of Alabamian Lucas Black's annoying accent in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift; and they both tackle two non-Disney, Discovery Kids' series: the cheesy, horribly acted Flight 29 Down and the mildly amusing Kenny the Shark. Top it off with teasers of upcoming shorts and you have a bite-sized nugget of entertainment. Enjoy!
