The Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly Collection (On the Town, Anchors Aweigh, Take Me Out to the Ball Game). In addition to all of the Westerns, there are a ton of Sinatra releases as well. This three-movie set covers a few of the musicals with, duh, Gene Kelly. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

Youth Without Youth. Francis Ford Coppola's latest film did not get a wide release to theaters, where it received widely mixed notices. It is the story of a man who finds himself growing younger. That is about all I know about it, but I am interested in seeing it. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

The Rat Pack Ultimate Collector's Edition (Ocean's 11, Robin and the 7 Hoods, 4 for Texas, Sergeants 3). To go along with the Gene Kelly set is this one featuring the rest of the Rat Pack. Also, like Westerns, I have not seen any of these. Sounds like the perfect time! These titles are also being released individually. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

The Cottage. Comedy/horror starring Andy Serkis (Gollum from LOTR) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser's Pinhead). It concerns a botched kidnapping that brings the kidnappers face to face with a psycho farmer. Sounds like fun, no? (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

Korn: Live at Montreux 2004. As a long time Korn fan, I really liked this video. The DVD is pretty bare bones, with nothing in the way of extras. Still, it is available pretty cheap, so it is definitely worth picking up. I also believe that it is the last recorded concert of the original line-up. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

Botched. Set in Russia, this is the story of a botched heist, where a professional thief comes into contact with crazy hitmen, serial killers, and insane hostages. Sounds like some more fun! (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
