Under normal circumstances, any week that only features one new DVD release would be classified as ‘weaksauce,’ but as it’s Christmas, I’ll let this week slide. That, and we’re getting one helluva treat with ALIENS VS PREDATOR – REQUIEM hitting theaters nationwide.
Yippee! MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
