DVDs:
The Simpsons Movie - A hilarious movie that comes close to the greatness of the early seasons of the show.
VERDICT - BUY IT.
Stardust - A clever science fiction film that rivals The Princess Bride as a quirky fractured fairy tale.
VERDICT - BUY IT.
Eastern Promises - Director David Cronenberg is on a hell of a roll, teaming up with Viggo Mortensen for a second straight top ten of the year film.
VERDICT - BUY IT.
Shoot Em Up - Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti star in an indie flick that got great reviews. It should be worth a look at least.
VERDICT - BUY IT.
Halloween - Rob Zombie's re-make of John Carpenter's legendary horror film is certainly not as good as the original, but it's still one of the better horror movies of recent years.
VERDICT - BUY IT.
Once - One of the best reviewed movies of the year. It should at least be worth a rental.
VERDICT - RENT IT.
The Kingdom - A flop at the box office, but it did get decent reviews.
VERDICT - RENT IT.
Balls Of Fury - A goofy movie that has a few laughs in it, but not enough for a purchase.
VERDICT - RENT IT.
War - Jet Li's latest also featured Jason Statham. Worth a look if you like the genre.
VERDICT - RENT IT.
Resident Evil: Extinction - Better than the second, but still not very good.
VERDICT - RENT IT.
The Brothers Solomon - A comedy misfire that didn't do much at the box office, it still might be worth a cheap rental.
VERDICT - RENT IT.
The Heartbreak Kid - The Farrelly Brothers hit a new low while Ben Stiller maintains his status quo in this lousy comedy.
VERDICT - SKIP IT.
Rush Hour 3 - The first two movies sucked and this is the worst of the series. Yuck.
VERDICT - SKIP IT.
Underdog - The less popular of Jason Lee's sell-out movies isn't even worth this sentence.
VERDICT - SKIP IT.
CDs:
Radiohead - In Rainbows - If you haven't downloaded it already, be sure to buy this album. It's a staple of the best of lists this year and for good reason. It's possibly their best album since OK Computer.
VERDICT - BUY IT.
Rivers Cuomo - Alone: The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo - It's not as impressive as I thought it would be, especially given the high-water mark set by the Killers B-Sides album. It's not worth a purchase.
VERDICT - BORROW IT.
