New Shit This Week

DVDs:

Spider-man 3 - The least of the Spider-man movies (by FAR), is still worth a purchase for the special effects alone.

VERDICT - Buy It.


Mr. Brooks - This surprisingly good underachiever is worth a look, but not quite worth a purchase.

VERDICT - Rent It.


Home Of The Brave - I don't know much about this movie, but it's got a great cast and I've heard good things.

VERDICT - Rent It.


Talk To Me - A well-reviewed movie that never saw the light of day, this is definitely worth a rent.

VERDICT - Rent It.


Hostel 2 - This sequel is actually better than the original, but no one went to see it, so you'll probably never believe me.

VERDICT - Rent It.


License To Wed - A rather dumb movie, but just about the only comedy being released this week, so if that's what you're looking for...

VERDICT - Rent It.


The Wendall Baker Story - It looks good, but the reviews were mixed.

VERDICT - Rent It.


Captivity - The lowest rung on the torture porn ladder didn't get anyone to see it in theaters, which is a good sign for humanity.

VERDICT - Skip It.


CDs:

Serj Takian - Elect The Dead - The first single reminds me a lot of System Of A Down and that's more than enough for me to give this one a buy nod.

VERDICT - Buy It.


Babyshambles - Shotter's Nation - Pete Doherty puts down the crack-pipe long enough to record this album. So far when he does that it's been fantastic, so this one gets a full recommendation.

VERDICT - Buy It.


Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 2: No World For Tomorrow - Seriously, do you really think anyone pays enough attention to your music to notice that there's a massive 5 album prog story arch running through it? Most people just know you guys for the lead singer's screeching vocals and that's all anyone will know you for.

VERDICT - Borrow it.
