Blaine: I found this quite entertaining and underrated. They really play with convention. For example, watch for a change in aspect ratio during the dream sequence. | |

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “There really wasn’t anything worth getting this week. I’d recommend holding off until a later week.” Blaine says, “I keep hearing people rave about Game of Thrones, but I haven’t watched it yet.”
I’ll put my two cents in: Game of Thrones is very worth it, though it’s already out on DVD (no mention on what’s different in this issue). Also, Treasure Planet (which I reviewed 10 years ago here) is probably worth a pick-up. Beautiful film that just couldn’t decide if it wanted to appeal to younger or older kids. They would’ve been better off going for the latter, but it’s a good flick and was pretty soundly ignored when it first came out.
Gah! I completely missed Game of Thrones – and I’ve seen all of season 1. That is my pick of the week.
