| Comments | Blaine: I haven’t seen this, but I did enjoy the book when I was in high school. (Reading it later, I found it suffered from a distinct lack of math.) | ||||||||

| Comments | Blaine: Never seen this, but it has decent IMDB reviews and stars Missy Peregrym. It was also created by Anthony E. Zuiker. Seems to have been a nine part Yahoo series. At any rate, I’ve been a fan of Missy Peregrym’s since Black Sash hit the air, so I’m sure I’ll check this out at some point. | ||||||||

| Comments | Blaine: The Lon Chaney horror classic, back in the days when “horror movie” meant “we’re going to scare you” rather than “we’re going to shock and disgust you.” | ||||||||

| Comments | Blaine: If you can swallow the rather gargantuan pill of Houdini’s golden ticket, then there’s actually some good satire in here. Also, this was the first movie released with digital sound. Some credit Jurassic Park with that milestone, as it was the first DTS digital sound movie, but this came out first and was released in the SDDS format. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “The original Huchback of Notre Dame with Lon Chaney Sr definitely looks interesting.” Blaine says, “Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hidden Fortress are both must-see titles.”
