Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Due to RightStuf being sold out on the initial run, I’m getting part of the second shipment of Patlabor Ultimate which is slated to be delivered on the 27th. Having reviewed every part of this collection here on the site, I can say with full confidence that this is worth every penny.” Blaine says, “nothing in particular jumps out at me this week.”
They made a Basic Instinct 2: Instinct Harder???
As someone who didn’t especially like the original, I cannot imagine sitting through an unknown sequel.
Basic Instinct did not age well. Beyond the…a-hem…beaver shot, it was a run-of-the-mill thriller. We were just more titillated in 90’s by some things.
The House with a Clock in its Walls interests me (and my kids), but I heard bad things. Anyone got an opinion on this movie?
