This week’s column is gonna be really abbreviated. I will be checking into the hospital over the weekend and don’t know what is going to happen after that, so I’ll just run down what to expect from the weekend. SAME OLD CRAP This week marks the release of Norbit. Hallelujah and Praise the Lord. Eddie … Continue reading

I’ll just skim through the week’s releases. NEW RELEASES HANNIBAL RISINGd. Peter Webberc. Gaspard Ulliel, Rhys Ifans The prequel to the Hannibal Lecktor … Continue reading
Damn, this week is pretty stacked. There is a lot of pretty good releases and most of them are of older movies. I’m gonna touch on the four new releases that actually matter this week and then there is a lot to cover with re-releases, special editions and Criterion releases. Let’s get to it.

A few people took exception to my calling last week an underwhelming week of DVD releases.

Well, talk has centered around what … Continue reading
