Welcome back! Well, to some of you, anyway. To the rest of you, glad you decided to stop by and I hope that this humble column helps you navigate the stacks of new releases each week. My goal is to point you toward titles of interest and warn you away from those films that seek to do nothing but leech away your time and give you nothing in return.
Full disclosure: I have not seen many of these titles and what follows are not necessarily reviews. It is my opinion based upon what I know of the titles I pluck from the new release lists that I peruse. The opinions I give based on the new releases are my own, and my recommendations upon them are based on my personal interest. In any case, I hope you enjoy and perhaps find something you like or a title to point me towards.
Andy Richter Controls the Universe: The Complete Series. This series disappeared way too soon. As with so many series that have done the same thing, allow me to say "thank you" to FOX for cancelling the show. Andy Richter starred in this series (duh), playing an aspiring writer who works writing how-to manuals. All day he dreams about what things could have been like had they taken a slightly different turn. It has been awhile since I have seen any of these episodes, it will be nice to see them again as the show is very funny.
Quantum of Solace (also Blu-ray). This is filled with wall-to-wall action and is likely the most action-packed of the entire series. There are few moments where one can catch one's breath. In less than an hour and fifty minutes you get car chases, shoot-outs, fist fights, boat chases, plane chases, plane shoot-outs, and more. It is quite jam-packed. It's better than it would appear at first glance, although not as strong as Casino Royale. This is a fine part two that tells more of Bond's "origin."
