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.
This week brings a decent selection of titles — from worthy indies to those I never heard of, to horror, to drama, to concerts, and to sports. None of the titles are terribly high profile, but I am sure you will find something worth checking out. I know I did.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. This is a wonderful film, reminiscent of the screwball comedies of the '30s and '40s, and one that completely caught me by surprise.

Do yourself a favor — even if you don't think you'd like it, give this a shot, you may well be surprised by what you find. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

Dexter: The Second Season. It was just recently that I saw the first season. By the time it was over I could not wait to see the second, and now I can. The series has a serial killer at its heart, one who spends his spare time working with the police to catch his competition. It is a fascinating series with a compelling lead character.
