Tuesday's Releases: 7/6

ah, vacation is great. That is, when you go on one. Anywho, hello kids, how's the family? We are doing well, trying to fight off some of the June gloom and hot-ass weather. The fireworks are nice this time of year. Let's begin:

Butterfly Effect: So when you want to be taken seriously you grow some facial hair and throw down some punches right? Well that's what my main man Ashton Kutcher does in his latest punk'd-gone-wrong tale of a man who can miraculously go back in time to change his life. However with every ride in the DeLorean he ends up making things worse in the future, like his career. Oh Schnaps!

Monsieur Ibraham: Bouncing back from the TV mini-series Shaka Zulu, Omar Sharif returns in this heartwarming French film. Sharif plays Ibraham who encounters a little orphan named Momo, yeah Momo, and takes him under his wing. Their relationship spawns while my mother can't help but cry. In French with of course, subtitles. 95 minutes of pure love.

My Voyage to Italy: For all you cinegeeks out there, and even those "professionals," Martin Scorsese brings us this great, albeit 246 minute documentary about the great cinematic history of Italy. Features footage and interviews from directors and actors such as Marcello Mastroianni, Federico Fellini, Roberto Rossellini and many, many, more. If you have some time, it's definitely worth his trip.

Six Feet Under Season 2: Ok, I've received too many inquiries as to when this is finally coming out. Well, it couldn't come any sooner. If you have been salivating at the mouth, or other places for that matter, you can clean yourself off now, your new favorite HBO series is here. We have three different sets of this bad mother, hopefully enough to keep you company. When I die, I want my epitaph to read: "Catch me on the seventh season."

Also, if you catch yourself inside our store, check out our Staff Picks. Way at the top of the shelves you'll see our collective Zatoichi section. Celebrating a good 40 years of blind ass-kicking Samurai action and the recent Takeshi Kitano remake. As well as a humble tribute to the often lampooned, yet incredible acting talent of Mr. Marlon Brando.

That's it boys and girls. Have a good weekend, and we shall meet soon.
