Houdini: Magician, escape artist...actor?

Well, kind of. The new three-disc box set Harry Houdini: Movie Star includes all of his silent era films, where he stretched out and played (you guessed it) a magician. More importantly, the collection compiles all the surviving footage of Houdini's actual escapes, which still look impressive even after almost 100 years. Somehow we don't think anyone in 2108 will say the same for David Blaine's stunts.

Also: There Will Be Blood comes out on DVD tomorrow—a little soon, don't you think?—which means you can now enjoy Paul Thomas Anderson's epic oil parable on the small screen. (High-def recommended.) It also gives us one last excuse to link to our favorite site of 2007.
