It didn’t start out this way. I had fully fired up my cranium to discuss the weekly barrage of DVD releases with my usual uninformed slobbering gusto, but instead, you’re going to have to settle with the trickiest of all informants: yourself. As scary as that may sound, at least you can use this impromptu guide to figure out which title will donkey-punch your wallet with minimal head trauma. Like High School, this will surely speedy by quickly.
First, a few things. The Devils Rain you should see. Not only does William Shatner don a badge, but John Travolta shows up and the Devil comes down from Georgia to fellate everyone involved. Mission: Impossible 3 came out today. Plus, it should be duly noted that if you’re a Baywatch fan, these “Seasons” aren’t quite entire ones. A couple of episodes have been exercised because First Look Pictures couldn’t wrangle the epic cadre of lawyers needed to negotiate rights issues. Finally, I wish all of you a proper Hallows Eve greeting, may your reign of terror be fruitful and scot-free of the law.

Furious Anger
While you might be expressing it this week (yet again) for my lack of coherency/breath of blurbs, rest assured, this situation is only temporary. Feel free to strike down upon your keyboard with great vengeance.

Next week leaves a carefully placed calling card on top of a basement filled with water with Cars, James Bond: Ultimate Collections 1 and 2, Kevin Smith: Evening Harder, Police Squad: The Complete Series, Oh! What A Lovely War, 90210: Season One, Melrose Place: Season One, The Forest, Transformers: 20th Anniversary Edition, Ark II, and my personal recommendations of Marlon Brando: The Signature Collection with Julius Caesar and Mutiny on the Bounty and The Gary Cooper Signature Collection, complete with The Fountainhead and Hawks’ sublime Sergeant York: Special Edition. Until then.
