New Shit This Week

DVDs:

Buy:

Charlie Wilson's War - One of the best written movies of 2007, Charlie Wilson's War is like a great episode of The West Wing. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is awesome, as always in a hilarious supporting role.


Rent:

The Orphanage - Supposedly, this is 2007's Pan's Labyrinth. I don't know enough about it to justify a purchase, but I can't wait to see it.

Cloverfield - I don't know how well it's going to hold up on a small screen, but it was a hell of a ride in theaters.

The Savages - Another PSH movie comes out this week. I haven't seen this one, but it's supposed to be pretty damn good. Laura Linney is also supposed to be excellent in this film.


Skip It:

One Missed Call - Another day another shitty remake of a Japanese horror film. Enough already.


CDs:

BUY:

Flight Of The Conchords - Flight Of The Conchords - I love the show and their music is seriously fucking funny, especially "Robots".

Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell - One of the latest blog superstars, Tokyo Police Club have a great sound and their full length debut is worth a cheap purchase.


Borrow:

Billy Bragg - Mr. Love And Justice - Billy's a pretty reliable musician, but not enough to justify a purchase unheard.
