What to Watch!!!!!!! Oh, and DVD releases. Below the break!
DVD Oct. 19th.
 | 1. Predators Alex and I both had a pretty decent time at this one, so if you didn't catch it in theaters and like some Predator action, check it out, won't you? |
 | 2. Oceans An apparently wonderful-looking film that's a bit weak in the narration department. Still, might be something to keep the rugrats distracted for an hour or two. You know, if you have kids, and you need to distract them while you do...other stuff. |
 | 3. Please Give I know she's a serious actress and all, but I would totally buy Catherine Keener a beer if I saw her in a bar. |
 | 4. Until the Light Takes Us Any film that has a credit for someone named "Hellhammer" playing "Himself" is alright by me. This documentary on Norwegian black metal only serves to illustrate that I have no clue how to spell "Norwegian". Thanks, spellcheck! |
 | 5. Smash His Camera A documentary on the paparazzi who are both killing the noble aspects of our society and thoroughly entertaining us when it's slow at work. |
 | 6. Agora The latest from multi-talented writer/producer Alejandro Amenabar was a smash success in Spain, but didn't quite catch on in America, grossing less than a million dollars. It's understandable; I think we're all a little worn out on films that dramatize the conflict between science and religious fundamentalism by examining the life of Hypatia, said to be the first female mathematician. |
 | 7. Apocalypse Now Three-Disc "Full Disclosure Edition". Sure. |
 | 8. Seven Samurai Possibly my favorite film comes to Blu-Ray in a three-disc Criterion edition, complete with two commentary tracks and a fifty-minute documentary. |
 | 9. Psycho Another classic comes back in a 50th anniversary edition. |
 | 10. Mirrors 2 Wow, a direct-to-dvd sequel to Mirrors starring Nick Stahl. You're better than this, Stahl! |
 | 11. Night of the Demons A remake of the classic 1988 horror film. Guess that's...good? |
 | 12. Giallo Dario Argento somehow managed to get Adrian Brody to star in this apparently dire serial killer film. Star power didn't prevent it from going direct-to-dvd, however. |
EDIT: There's baseball on FOX tonight so no episodes of any of the Tuesday lineup on FOX tonight.
We need more good sci-fi on TV!
Also, Nick Stahl...
Dude, you were Carnivale. Show some self-respect will ya.
seem to have any taste here.
As for Until The Light Takes Us, thanks for the reminder, gotta totally check that out, especially
since I was big on black metal back in the day.

Oh it's O.K I forgive you guys.... I'll still find you, knock you out with ether, dress you in catholic school girl outfits, tie you to chairs in my poorly lit basement and have a delightful tea party with you as the guests of honor while a scratchy record plays old timey melodies in the background.
Oprah was garbage when narrating Life. What a disappointment that series was, especially following on from the excellent Planet Earth.
Rorie, are you doing a Remake Rematch on 7 Samurai? Because I love The Magnificent Seven.
No Ordinary Family was so incredibly stupid last week. Too many dumb-as-hell coincidences happened. They're only three episodes in, and I feel like they're running out of ideas. Not a good sign.
I like Bill Murray, but seeing him in that Venkman costume made me think of old-ass Harrison Ford from the last Indiana Jones movie. Just no.
OH HEY MY OPINION IS LAW, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Anyway, I can see myself getting Predators before the end of the year.
And the Bill Murray thing might tie into something happening here on Screened tomorrow. Maybe it was to get people interested in the Screening Room?
I cannot decide between Seven Samurai and Apocalypse Now Blu Rays!
