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 load of new releases, including a bunch of new television titles, just in time for the dawn of the 2008 fall season. Time to catch up on what you missed last season! In addition to the television titles and movies listed below, there is a whole mess of titles coming out with new cover art, as well as a whole series of themed triple features. I am sure you will likely want to add a number of these to your personal collections, just like me.
The Fall. This week's top pick is a film that I have not yet seen. I have seen a trailer for it, but I have not had the pleasure of seeing the movie. This film has been championed by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, so that says something for it, doesn't it? It tells the story of an injured stuntman (Lee Pace of Pushing Daisies) in the 1920s telling a story of five mythical heroes to a young girl at the same hospital. With the combination of his tale and her imagination, reality and make believe begin to converge. The movie was directed by Tarsem and is his follow-up to the visually fascinating The Cell.

Smallville: The Complete Seventh Season. Can you believe this series is still on? It has gotten pretty bad over the past couple of seasons. The best thing this season has going for it is the addition of Supergirl, plus any episode featuring Green Arrow. Hopefully, they will get some good screen time in the coming eighth season, which will hopefully be its last. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
