New Releases for June 29, 2010
Blah, blah, blah, lack of posting. Something, something, promise to do better. Blah, blah, editor said he'd fire me.
THIS WEEK'S PICK
Hot Tub Time Machine
I've had multiple arguments about whether John Cusack starring in a movie about a hot tub that sends people back to the 80s is the best or worst concept for a movie ever. Guess which side of the debate I'm on?
New Releases for April 27, 2010
Apologies for the absence and general lack of posting. Not much of a weekly blog if I can’t be bothered to post weekly. I have no excuses and you may feel free to flog me at your earliest convenience.
THIS WEEK'S PICK
The Last Starfighter
New Releases for March 2, 2010
There's not much to talk about this week. That's probably good since you're all headed to see Alice In Wonderland this weekend anyway.
THIS WEEK'S PICK
Where the Wild Things Are
This movie got a very mixed reaction. It was so polarizing that I may use it as a way to judge a person's worth as a potential friend.
Me: What did you think of Where the Wild Things Are?
Potential Friend: I hated it.
Me: This relationship is over.
New Releases for February 23, 2010
My apologies for not getting this in for about a month. Let's just assume nothing good came out at all. Except BioShock 2. You should totally buy that.
THIS WEEK'S PICK
FlashForward: Season One, Part One
Another show I love that's pretty much doomed. That happens with depressing regularity and I still hold all of you personally responsible.

THIS WEEK’S PICK
Catherine MacLellan – Water in the Ground
Right now you’re probably thinking “Hey! You’re only including this album because you went to high school with Catherine MacLellan and may have had a mild crush on her for a good portion of grade eleven. And this album isn’t even new. It’s been out for a year, but only got added to iTunes this week.” To this I can only respond by saying, 1) I deny nothing! 2) Bite me and go get your own blog.

THIS WEEK’S PICK
Moon
If I was the sort of person who made year-end lists, Moon would have finished fourth for best movies of 2009.
DVD | Blu-ray | iTunes
MUSIC
New Releases for December 15, 2009
This blog is once again going weekly, though it’s a rough time of year for it since nothing good ever comes out in December. Except, of course, the following.
THIS WEEK'S PICK
September Amusement
Apples In Stereo – #1 Hits Explosion
If you aren't familiar with Apples In Stereo, this "Best Of" compilation is a great way to start. If you are familiar with Apples In Stereo, you know that this is probably the best "Best Of" album coming out this month.
Release date: September 1
Fringe – The Complete First Season
I almost gave up on Fringe about half way through the first season, but then it somehow turned into the show I'm most anticipating coming back for season two.
Release date: September 8
July Amusement
Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson by Ian Halperin
Wow. That was fast. Because he's… you know… dead.
Release date: July 7
The Big Rewind: A Memoir Brought to You by Pop Culture by Nathan Rabin
Nathan Rabin just wrote a book I wish I'd written. Except it's a memoir, and I kind of only wish I lived about half of his actual life.
Release date: July 7
Against Me! – Original Cowboy
June Amusement
Elvis Costello – Secret Profane and Sugarcane
Elvis is back and once again he's doing that thing where he's much cooler than you by being a bigger dork that you. It's one of life's great mysteries how he continues to pull this act off.
Release Date: June 2
Eels – Hombre Lobo: 12 Songs of Desire
The best album inspired by a singer's beard since [insert ZZ Top reference here].
Release Date: June 2
Prison Break: Season 4
