In case you missed my DVD releases for last week, that’s because, well, they didn’t happen. The hard drive which I happened to store all of my current (and archived) articles on decided to (for lack of a better word) shit the bed. Even more unfortunate is that this melt-down came only after I had just finished my article regarding last week’s healthy listing of DVD and Blu-ray releases for you fellow hard-copy fiends.
Anyhow, I’ve made the best of the situation this week so here you go:
