Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “the two most appealing titles are rereleases. Men In Black and the Tim Burton box set (new to the box, but all titles previously available) are definitely quality stuff.” Alex says, “I’m also liking Men In Black, and I’m putting Haywire on my to-watch list.”

One reply

  1. Hmmm…. I recall liking the short-lived 70s Invisible Man series, but I don’t know if it would hold up.

    And I recall the Stooges forays into 3-D being rerun on tv in the 1980s. There’s really only so many times you can throw a pie or a poke at a camera before it becomes tiresome, and it’s not very many.
