• We’re back. Been taking advantage of some of the slow times to catch up on some flicks… “American Psycho was definitely a good ticket last weekend, great flick. Recommended. The more astute of you might notice Guin Turner‘s relatively small role in the flick (which she also co-wrote). Turner, a friend of Kev’s, had quick cameos in both “Amy” & “Dogma”.

On the video front this week, a few noteworthy arrivals — “The Messenger, which competed with Dogma in theatrical release, shows up today on DVD with a new director’s cut version. Didn’t care too much for the flick, though. Too damn long (But Luc Besson still rules! – Chris). We’d highly recommend renting “Three Kings” and “House on Haunted Hill” though, couple of different but entertaining flicks now on shelves everywhere. “Hill” is everything that “The Haunting” should have been. And then finally, don’t forget Jason Lee‘s turn in the ensemble flick “Mumford”, on video this week as well. Lee plays an outrageously wealthy guy whose modem manufacturing plant keeps the small town alive.

In the news, still not a heck of a lot going on, as you’ll see Kevin attest to in his post below. Sounds like some good stuff on the horizon, though. We’ll be here to cover it, you can count on that. Kev’s post and a couple more tidbits round out the News Askew for this Tuesday…
