Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I can give lukewarm recommendations for Masters of the Universe and Flight of the Navigator, but that may be mostly nostalgia.” Alex says, “I’m going with the Tenchi Collections. The original OVAs were incredibly well done, and some of my favorite anime, and in my reviews of the Movies, I mentioned how much I’d like to see those films get a Blu-Ray release.”
The original Tenchi Muyo OVA series *was* released on DVD before: http://www.amazon.com/Tenchi-Muyo-OVA-DVD-Boxed/dp/B00000IBWR/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355669586&sr=8-1
Huh. Did not realize that. As it is, the collection coming out this week is more affordble, and has the episodes in Blu-Ray, if you have the option to play them that way.
Flight of the Navigator is a definite buy. Not sure how I don’t already have the DVD but that makes buying the Blu-Ray an even easier decision. That will probably be under the tree for me.
My son loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies. Sure, not genre, but they are pretty funny.
Eventually I’ll probably rent Total Recall.
Incidentally, you’ll get your chance to vote on Flight of the Navigator in week 22 of the Greatest Science Fiction Film tournament.
