Lift your head up from your notebook and take a deep breath. Yes, it’s finals season, but you’ve gotta take some time for yourself. Maybe watch a movie or a TV show? We’re glad to aid and abet that sort of behavior.<\/p>\n

As we wind our into the last week of the semester,  we have one last load of great DVDs for 2014. Our biggest and splashiest purchase is the complete series of How I Met Your Mother<\/i>, complete with the alternative ending that nearly everyone agrees should have been used in the first place. But there’s plenty of other notables in this batch too: Disney’s Maleficent<\/i>, sci-fi sleeper hit Edge of Tomorrow<\/i>, FX’s acclaimed Fargo<\/i> television series, and indie sensation Chef<\/i>.<\/p>\n

We’re also picking up more classics we’ve been missing, especially on the television front. We’ve purchased seasons of shows including Ally McBeal<\/i>, Cheers<\/i>, Chico and the Man<\/i>, and In Living Color<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And for fans of the truly weird, we now also have The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension<\/i>, a bizarre sci-fi action-adventure film starring Peter Weller (best known as RoboCop) as a neurosurgeon who fights crime across the galaxy with the help of his rock-n-roll band. It’s special.<\/p>\n

Hit the jump for a full list of what we have in store…<\/p>\n
