PICK OF THE WEEK
Nah...once again, I got nothin'. June SUCKS when it comes to DVD releases! It's almost like they expect us to play outside and not watch DVDs or somethin'!
She's Out of My League (2010) If I took one thing from the ten million ads I saw for this movie, it was that the chick wasn't wearing underwear - oh, and that I was NEVER going to watch this movie. She's Out of My League [Blu-ray]
The Flying Scissors (2009) If you only see one movie based on "Rock Paper Scissors" in your lifetime....this is probably your only choice, actually - rescheduled at least three times

Come back later to see if anything's gonna change after I post this, and I can't blame you for not bothering to engage in any discussion about THIS lot, I guess.
Wow, The Wolverine! Or, is it just Wolverine? Looks promising. But then I thought X-Men Origins: Wolverine looked promising and that was a shitstorm. Still, we must have hope.
