On many Tuesdays, the pickings are slim among the new crop of DVDs. And then there are days like today where the bounty is almost too rich. Where better to start than with JJ Abrams' re-start of the Star Trek franchise. Did anyone not like this movie? You know, except for those people who automatically don't like things because they're popular. In other news, there may not have been a funnier movie this year than Humpday. There definitely wasn't a funnier scene than the dinner table revelation between Josh Leonard and Alycia Delmore. Is the number one rule about the Fight Club Blu-Ray DVD that we don't talk about it? That wouldn't make sense. Sure, Bruno wasn't as funny as Borat but the swinging dick scene was priceless.

Every week I scour the list of 300-500 new DVDs looking for small titles that pique my interest. Sometimes it's the subject matter that intrigues me, but more often than not it's the odd and brilliant titles that low-budget filmmakers accord to their films. This week, I may have found my favorite of all-time. Not only is it funny, but it barely makes any sense. Most importantly, it ridicules something that is all too deserving of ridicule. Ladies and gentleman, I give you Taintlight! One of these days, I'm going to find time to truly commit myself to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I like the show a lot, but can never seem to keep it present in my mind. It was no Deadwood, but Rome was damn fine entertainment. I miss it. Especially the violence and the nudity.
