The Weekly Top 3 feature I did last week was SO POPULAR*, that I’ve decided to turn it into The Weekly Top 4! How amazing is that? For the very few of you who didn’t read last week’s feature**, I’m going to tell you the Top Four things you should be looking out for in the world of Entertainment, from DVDs, to Music, to Video Games, to anything in entertainment. So let’s get to it, homeskillets:
1. Lawrence of Arabia Collector’s Edition [$17, Amazon]
What The? The classic film once again comes to DVD.
So What? Lawrence of Arabia is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. It’s also one of the best directed and acted ever. Though this Collector’s Edition doesn’t look any different than the last release, it’s about $20 cheaper, so that’s good. If you’ve never seen LoA… you probably should.
2. Okami for the Wii [$40, Amazon]
What The? A PS2 favorite comes to the Wii.
Um, yeah? A game set in a Japanese brush painting, with controls that resembled creating said painting with a brush was kind of asking to be released on the Wii. Finally, it is, and if you’ve played it before, reports are that it’s a whole new playing experience. For those of you who have never played it, you’ll want to check out a visually stunning, innovative game good for players of all ages.
3. Juno [$23, Amazon]
What The Blog? Last year’s biggest backlash hits DVD.
Yeah, Right? If you saw it and hated it, it’s okay, but I think you probably hated it for the wrong reasons. Yes, it’s over precious. Yes, the songs are played out. But at it’s base, there’s some great performances, and the over stylized language is only to set up Juno’s world as a fairy tale place where a teen can get pregnant, and her parents are 100% supportive.
4. Asia, Phoenix [$10, Amazon]
What The? Asia’s first album in a decade.
So… You either read the previous sentence and instantly pre-ordered, or don't care.
