Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “The surprisingly well timed Godzilla boxed set is really tempting. I’m also pretty interested in Vision of Escaflowne“. Blaine says, “if you feel compelled to get something this week, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is probably the best of the bunch, unless you are interested in one of the box sets.”

      • Four made it to the theatre (Pie, Next Slice, Wedding, and Reunion). For what they were, I thought they were well-done (especially the first)

        The other four are straight-to-video side stories involving few if any members of the theatre release cast. I saw about fifteen minutes of one of those once and bailed.
