August is very lopsided with most of the movies coming out the last 2 weeks so please stop in. Expect one of my movie rental business rants soon, I feel it coming, like heartburn. Announcing our annual anniversary movie event in the next week or two, finally, so get pumped. I am. I ordered the perfect push-up, and should be wailing on my biceps to get appropriately excited.

Alright, for August's new release list which is up at the website, there is, like in July, a film or two that should be on it that somehow slipped through the cracks.

Only one this month, it is The Good Times Kid, put out through one of our favorite new dvd labels, Benten films, run and founded by two movie critics. They had not put out a release in some months and I was getting worried. Game on.


And, as posted on our email list, this is the new old stuff we received or will be getting over the next month, with yet an additional movie that didn't make it to the email list. And yes, I keep saying we're going to have to tone down the new backstock, be happy.

Couple Criterions

Luis Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel (will be in New Release room)
For All Mankind (criterion's reissue of it from this year)
Brief Encounter
The dual Jimi Hendrix/Otis Redding release: Shake! Otis/Jimi plays Monterrey

Then,

Pixar's a Bug's Life
Mansfield Park
Emma (w/G. Paltrow)
Twelfth Night
Love's Labour's Lost

The Clean water doc Flow.

The Perfect Storm (somehow we didn't have it)
A widescreen version of the modern Ocean's 11.

In the fall, we'll be getting the Trailer Park Boys X-Mas special since the new seasons we picked up have done well. And early next year, maybe we'll get seasons 6 and 7 (there are just too many of them).
