Pithy Title
Another large list of releases this week (300+), but the next couple of weeks have slimmer pickings. Do you feel like riding a bucking bomb now?
TV DVD Release of the Week
Teen Titans: Season 2
With acclaimed storylines loosely based on Marv Wolfman's comic stories from the 1980's, this highly-stylized anime show is a lot of fun, enjoyable by kids and adults alike. If only the show were still being produced.
Honorable Mentions
- The Batman: Season 2 I really liked Season 1 of this series. Unfortunately, they changed the opening track for season 2 to be all catchy; the original track was a lot closer to the character of Batman. Anyway, this is an okay series, worth watching definitely if you're a Batman fan.
- Mama's Family: Season 1 I laugh at this spin-off from The Carol Burnette Show. So funny and over the top, but I don't think it's necessarily all that much removed from reality.
DVD Release of the Week
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm Special Edition) starring a pre-megastar Johnny Depp. This is a truly horrific movie, not just a slasher flick. There is a nice psychological bent to it. Imagine (but not too hard, please) if your dreams were not safe, that reality could truly invade your dreams or your nightmares.
Honorable Mentions
- Dracula (1931): 75th Aniiversary Edition and Frankenstein (1931): 75th Aniiversary Edition, the two major monster movies that really inspired(?) the rest.
- The Munsters: Two-Movie Fright Fest Frankenstein as a cuddly teddy bear who also throws tantrums like a 3-year old. Funny stuff.
