This isn’t a big week, but it has some excellent stuff in it. Also, the new format acronym “MOD DVD” stands for “Manufactured on Demand” DVD product, which may or may not play in all players.

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “my anime pick is Key: The Metal Idol, with Doctor Strange from the complete list of titles.” Blaine says, “Doctor Strange is my choice, hands-down.”
21 and 22 Jump Street were surprisingly funny. There’s something to be said for a comedy spoof that can knock on the 4th wall without actually breaking it.
