Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “this week has four strong contenders in The Tim Burton Collection, Castle: The Complete Fourth Season, Airplane and Psych: The Psych-O-Ween Collection.” Alex says, “The Hammer House of Horror collection has my interest piqued. However, I haven’t seen that yet, so I don’t feel like making it my official pick. I have however, seen Martian Successor Nadesico, and can recommend that whole-heartedly.”
I just watched Snow White and the Huntsman, mostly out of morbid curiosity.
It was very pretty but OH MY GOD was it bad. Mostly that Kristin Steward girl is just horrible but the basic premise of the whole movie was pretty awful. Ugh.
