Wow, I just realized that before the review for The Brave One, it had been 9 whole days since I posted a movie review. 9 days! What the heck is going on? I try to see a "new" film every week really, either a newly released rental that I missed at the theater or make it out to the land of popcorn and people who can't turn off their cellphones. I guess I've been in a movie slump. I have been catching a few older flicks at least, like the ultra-cheesy 976-EVIL the other night on FearNet and also the Arnie classic The Running Man, a movie I've always loved for some reason. How many classic, cheeseball lines did Arnold have in that movie? I dare say NOT ENOUGH! He chokes a guy (with barbed wire for the record) and says "What a pain in the neck." Later he slices a dude up with a chainsaw and when asked about him he deadpans "He had to split." Of course he also drops the nugget "I'll be back!" Gotta love that writer.
So, speaking of FearNet (it's a video on-demand channel on digital cable), you can add it to the list of things I don't know how I lived without before they came along. I vaguely remember the day when I looked through the on-screen guide (or even a TV Guide! Ha ha what the heck is that?!? Paper?!?) to see what time a movie started. Now I've got hundreds of flicks that I can start and stop whenever I want on VOD, and FearNet is all horror. HBO, Showtime, Encore... they all have VOD channels and I put them all to use. Out with linear scheduling. Heck they've even got the local evening news on VOD now.
Enough on that I guess. It's a good day for new releases if you like to spend money. Lots of things I'll buy, rent or illegally download at some point. And by illegally download I mean... err.. well, so here's what's out...
DVD releases:
Death Proof - from Quentin Tarantino... half of the Grindhouse movies that flopped at theaters, extended and unrated
We Are Marshall - inspirational football film based on true story
The Condemned - stars Stone Cold Steve Austin... enough said
Bloodrayne 2 - more blood and swordfighting that the first, with no Meatloaf
Family Guy Volume 5
Blade: House of Chthon - extended version of the TV show pilot
And the CDs:
Eddie Vedder - 'Into the Wild' (solo album... film soundtrack)
Between the Buried and Me - 'Colors'
H.I.M. - 'Venus Doom'
Pat Monahan (Train vocalist) - 'Last of Seven'
Submersed - 'Immortal Verses'
Trapt - 'Live!'

Thousand Foot Krutch - 'The Flame In All of Us'
Various Artists - 'Resident Evil: Extinction Soundtrack' (w/Shadows Fall, Flyleaf, Throwdown, It Dies Today)
Biffy Clyro - 'Puzzle'
The Donnas - 'Bitchin'
Who the hell are all those people you ask? Go look 'em up already! Do I have to do everything for you people?!?! Try The Google.
Ok, I'll give you one. And that's it. Here's Pat Monahan at a radio appearance:
