A special edition DVD of Appleseed Ex Machina is up for grabs for the next Great DVD Giveaway.

Three easy stems to join the DVD giveaway:

1. Answer this question: "Who are the two top members of the ESWAT's Special Ops in the animated movie Appleseed Ex Machina?"
2. Post a comment on this post with your answer, along with your name and email address. (Your email should be in the format xxx (at) xyz.com to protect you from spam.) Your comment with the correct answer will represent your entry in the electronic raffle. One comment per person will be allowed.
3. If you are a blogger, creating a link to this blog post with the link text "Appleseed DVD Giveaway" will earn you 5 electronic raffle entries (That's 5 entries per link). You can earn a maximum of 10 electronic raffle entries via this method. Note: Use the "Create a Link" link below to include posts from your blog.

Here's an assist for you-- the answer to the question can be found from Warner Video's description of Appleseed Ex Machina:

In the year 2133, a war killed off half the population of Earth, plunging the world into chaos and despair. In OLYMPUS, a utopian city-state and the last true bastion of culture and civilization, the ESWAT police force holds the peace. The two star members of this Special Ops team are Deunan Knute and her cyborg partner Briareos. Their relationship is threatened when the government reveals a prototype combat clone, named Tereus, who is a clone of Briareos. However, a strange electronic virus begins turning citizens into violent zombies and the trio must team up to track down the terrorists behind this brutal attack before it tears the peaceful utopia apart.

Good luck and I'm looking forward to your entry to The Great Appleseed DVD Giveaway.

Continuing from the fantasy streak I started with a review of Stardust, Screensucked is focusing on one the best-loved fantasy movies of our generation-- The Princess Bride.

It has been 20 years since Robin Wright Penn (Forrest Gump) and Cary Elwes (Liar,Liar) enchanted us with this fantasy romance and Warner is releasing a special edition DVD to commemorate the event.

A contest has been launched in conjunction with the DVD release and it is called the Ode To Princess Bride Sweepstakes. This contest is an online event where fans have an “editor's tool kit” with video, audio and music from the film and allows them to create their own “Ode to The Princess Bride” video trailer. The contest winners will be selected by none other than producer Norman Lear and the film's director, Rob Reiner.

For more information on the prizes, visit the Princess Bride website.
