Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I doubt anyone will be surprised that I pick Captain America. Other highly notable releases include
The Conversation, Barney Miller and Dazed and Confused.” Alex says, “I haven’t seen Captain America yet, so I’ll just add that one
to my Netflix Queue. However, I do whole-heartedly reccomend Tinker, Tailor, and Smiley’s People. The two are some of the best spy stories I’ve seen of all time. Period.”
I’ve heard good things about Attack The Block. I just added that and Captain America to the top of my BB queue.
