Hold onto your butt. We all know that a confrontation is looming between Arthur "Trinity" Miller and Dexter in the upcoming season 4 finale, but who saw this happening? Another confrontation has been looming for some time and Showtime has released a couple of clips that – between them – reveal that this confrontation Will take place in the finale. Do you really want to know?
Since Dexter began, Debra – Dexter's sister – has been on a quest to unlock the secrets of her father's past. What she doesn't know is that her adopted brother Dexter is the biological brother of the Ice Truck killer, who seduced and ultimately kidnapped her in season one. Well guess what. It's all coming out.
In this first clip, Debra confronts Dexter with the identity of his biological mother.
A close shave, but a few more connections yet to be made – right? Not anymore. Michael Ausiello has released

Shaun the Sheep | School of Saatchi | Mouth to Mouth | Gracie!
Shaun the Sheep
4.20pm, BBC1
He may not have the brand recognition of Wallace and Gromit among adults, but chances are that any anklebiters in your vicinity will already be well-versed in the ways of Shaun the Sheep. For the uninitiated, though: Nick Park's cheeky farmyard dweller made his debut back in 1995 in A Close Shave, before getting his own series in 2007. His adventures consist largely of pulling the wool over the eyes of the Farmer and Bitzer, the long-suffering sheepdog. Terrific fun, showing daily.
School of Saatchi
9pm, BBC2
There are those who will claim it's entirely logical to combine modern art with reality TV. Aren't both about the talentless jostling for the limelight? Possibly, but this is still a tremendous idea: a bunch of unknown artists compete for the patronage of "the reclusive" – and, some would add,

Happy 20th anniversary, Wallace and Gromit!

Tweny years ago today, two clay figures went on a grand day out to get some cheese, so of course they went to the moon to get some. Since then, Aardman Animation's Wallace and Gromit have become two of the most recognizable
faces of modern British culture.
The pair have starred in a number of 30-minute films since, including The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death, and one feature-length film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. And today, in England at least, they made a Google doodle to mark the occasion.
As for me, I'm off to have some cheese and cracking good toast to celebrate.

Wallace & Gromit: The Complete Collection Blu-ray Review
25 October 2009 8:08 AM, PDT

| See recent Collider.com news
»
Considering the worldwide phenomenon Wallace and Gromit have become, it’s something of a mystery that the stop-motion duo’s latest adventure, the Hitchcockian “who-donut” A Matter of Loaf and Death, would go straight to home video in the States (as opposed to overseas, where the BBC debuted the film to through-the-roof ratings on Christmas Day). The upside of the arrangement is that it gives American fans an excuse to snag the entire W&G collection on Blu-ray, complete with commentaries, extras and a host of “Cracking Contraptions” shorts.
As it turns out, Loaf and Death is actually something of a letdown, trading the retro-styled charm of their three previous shorts and feature-length adventure Curse of the Were-Rabbit for faster pacing, a fair amount of CG and a bunch of recent blockbuster references (after operating in a 1940s-style time capsule all these years, does the series really need references to Aliens?

A Time to Kill
I really like this film and have been waiting for an opportunity to buy it since the DVD release has always included the first half of the film on one side of the disc and the second half on the other side, easily one of the most annoying ideas to come out of the early days of DVD. However, now that it is on Blu-ray there is finally a version worth buying and you can believe I will be picking this one up.
The Rock Collection
The Rundown / Doom / The Scorpion King
Last night I popped in Doom and watched about 30 minutes or so of it and one thing I noticed, that I hadn't before, is the high definition picture really made the Rock's back look sort of weird where they tried to cover up all his tats.
