New Shit This Week

DVDs:

Rent:

The Mist - A surprisingly good adaptation of a classic Stephen King book with a wallup of an ending. This one is just barely short of being worth being.


The Kite Runner - A poorly reviewed Oscar contender that never materialized. It's probably worth a look, but not a purchase.


Wristcutters - And finally, an indie movie that never took off with it's poor reviews. It's still interesting enough to warrant a look, though.


CDs:

BUY:

The Raconteurs Consolers Of The Lonely - An album that was practically snuck into stores, The Raconteurs is the latest Jack White project to make it into my music collection. He's never let me down before, so I doubt he'll start now.


Gnarls Barkley The Odd Couple - I never thought that they'd have a sophomore album, but here it is. It should be worth the purchase.


BORROW:

We Are Scientists Brain Thrust Mastery - They're getting close to the point where I'm willing to purchase their music without hearing it first, but they aren't quite there.

The B-52s Funplex - It's been too long since they were last great to justify a purchase, but they should be worth a look.

The Counting Crows Saturday Nights And Sunday Mornings - Pretty much the same explanation as the B-52's, though the Crows have been far lower than the B's ever have.

Pennywise Reason To Believe - The super-busy punk vets release another album with next to no promotion, though it wasn't intentional like the Raconteurs.


SKIP:

Panic At The Disco Pretty. Odd - The crappy pop version of emo that is super-popular right now reaches for a new level of suckiness with the latest release from the emo equivalent of Nickelback.
