Another lousy week; TV seasons are still coming out rapidly to promote the new fall seasons and we are still in that weird limbo where the Summer is over Oscar season hasn't started. In Hollywood these weeks are the political equivalent of filibusters.

30 Rock: Season 6 (2011)

Fall television season is already under way on some networks which means last year's seasons are hitting the DVD market. Here are some this week you might be interested in.

Last week saw the release of "The Hunger Games" and while this week might not have a film of that caliber it's still nothing to thumb your nose at.

The Dictator (2012)
dir. Larry Charles

Have not seen this yet but a lot of chatter is that it was surprisingly excellent and subdued for a Sacha Baron Cohen film.

It's been a great summer of movies but things are winding down as kids across the country head back to school. "The Dark Knight Rises" as well as "The Avengers" made this a "super" hero summer for the film industry but don't worry, I'm certain you'll still hear about how hard it has been for the studios. No matter, the good DVD's are starting to pick back up after a few lack luster weeks. Let's get started!

The Raid: Redemption (2012)
dir. Gareth Evans

And I thought last week was bad. There are literally no movies this week I recommend, but I will tell you about some interesting things that are coming out.

Hatfields & McCoys (2012)
dir. Kevin Reynolds

This was a good release from the History Channel but it also had some terribly corny moments.

I'm trying to get things on a regular schedule, I'm still off by a couple days and I apologize! Pretty decent picks this week.

The Three Stooges (2012)
dirs. Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly

 When this film was going to star Sean Penn and Benecio Del Toro I was totally thrilled. It slowly devolved into a ridiculous side show, campy, blah blah blah. Might check it now on DVD. Some folks actually claim it's funny.

Sorry for the delay, here are last weeks and this weeks picks. Because of the holiday week things were hectic and because I took a week off last week I forgot about this week! My apologies! Enjoy,

God Bless America (2011)
dir. Bobcat Goldthwait

A satire directed by none other than "Police Academy's" Bobcat Goldthwait. I will give $100 to anyone who names their child Bobcat.
