Comments | Alex: RightStuf is showing a release date of April 9th. Considering the financial problems that Media Blasters has been having recently, I’ll go with that one, though there is still a chance that Amazon could be right after all. Blaine: I’m finding that Amazon takes a LONG time to update release dates for postponed items, to the point where I wonder if they deliberately leave them until the new release date hits just to get more preorders from people looking to get the item ASAP. I’d believe Rightstuf. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I’ll go with the final season of Scarecrow and Mrs. King, even though I don’t remember this season specifically. The first three have been fun.” Alex says, “There’s not much here that’s really caught my attention. That said, I’ll probably add Blood-C to my Netflix Queue.”
The Seven Per Cent Solution is an interesting take on Sherlock Holmes, and a must-watch for Holmes fans.
Agreed. Great film. Useless trivia: It was written by Nicholas Meyer (the man who wrote Star Trek II, IV, and VI and directed II and VI).
Misfits is fantastic. Well. The first two seasons were, I need to watch the other two… I’ve been lazy.
I’ve only seen bits of Seasons 1 and 3– one, at least, looks excellent, and I’ve been waiting for the chance to see the entire thing. It’s Heroes done right, and with a great deal of British humour.
