This week’s shipping
list includes Essential Spider-Man Vol. 7
and Essential Werewolf by Night Vol. 1, which
are the only two items I’ll be taking home this week.
(I won’t be ordering further volumes of Essential
Amazing Spider-Man, Essential Fantastic
Four or Essential X-Men, either, thanks
to the DVD-ROM versions.) Other items of note include
Exiles #71, the first issue of Peter David’s
Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man (which
kicks off the 12 part “The Other” storyline, which
will run through all three Spider-Man titles until
January, and which has a single writer handling all
three titles for the first month), House of M
#7, Ghost Rider #2 (along with a
“Director’s Cut” edition of Ghost Rider #1),
Ultimate X-Men #64, the Green Lantern
Rebirth hardcover (which I do recommend but
haven’t reviewed yet), Infinite Crisis #1,
and the Astro City: Local Heroes TPB.
Supernatural Discussion – “Bloody Mary”
For the first time, this series has an episode
directed by someone whose name I don’t recognize. His
IMDB
listing includes some notable shows that I simply
haven’t seen, though.
Surface Discussion – “104”
Are these episode titles meaningful in the show, or
are they just using production numbers?
Movie Review – “Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit”
Right then. Wallace and Gromit are in a rather
cracking full length movie, well worth checking out.
Don’t forget to pick up some cheese from the
confectionary on the way in.

Movie Review – “Metropolis (1927)”
This review is not of the anime film I have yet to see, but of Fritz Lang’s silent masterpiece from 1927.

Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God
The non-anticipated sequel debuted Saturday. How good could it be? Tune in to find out.
“Wallace and Gromit – Curse of the Were-Rabbit” Top Box Office
Weekly DVD Picks – Tuesday, October 11, 2005
This week looks to have the poorest offerings between
now and Christmas. This week’s dilemma was choosing
something I’d call a pick of the week, as nothing
really stood out. Starting next week and running
until January, I’ll need to put serious thought into
which contenders will not be the final pick
of the week. Some highlights of the next few months
are listed below.

“The Shining” reinterpreted in a trailer
For a different look at The
Shining, head on over to the PS260 blog
and take a look at the September 29, 2005 entry. I
hold this up as a shining example of why trailers are
a worse indicator of the nature and quality of a movie
than looking at the cast and crew list. Also
available are new versions of
West Side Story and Titanic, both of
which now appear to be genre films.
Threshold Discussion – “Shock”
Once again, the official
site is posting next week’s episode description.
I really don’t get that. At least we’ve got epguides.com
to fall back on.
