Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I missed when Mazinger Z Infinity got a brief theatrical run, so I’m planning to pick it up on home video.” Blaine says, “I would go with Doctor Who: Resolution. It’s not the best Doctor Who special, but it is the best release of the week.”

  1. They made a Robin Hood last year?

    The Babylon 5 releases are… well, The Gathering is basically the pilot, so it should be part of any series, and In The Beginning should be part of any B5 movie collection, anyone who collects B5 stuff likely already has those… and they don’t really stand alone without the series.

    Lost Tales is kinda fun, though.

    • They made a Robin Hood last year?

      They did. Reviews and audience response were not kind. Of, if they were, it must have been really bad.

      The best take I heard on historical accuracy (a dubious concept at best in a Robin Hood film) is that the film makes more sense if you imagine it takes place in a post-apocalyptic future world.
