Movie of the Week
Scream 4
The Stars: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette The Plot: Ten years have passed, and Sidney (Campbell), who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited again by the Ghostface Killer. The Buzz: Wes Craven returns to the franchise that single-handedly rejuvenated the horror industry. Lots of pretty girls run around, most of them get killed, and repeat. But it's all good fun (somehow). I enjoyed the first two films, but thought the third was pretty blah. I think enough time has passed though to make this a potentially smart beating of a dead horse.

Blu-ray/DVD of the Week
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
The Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint The Plot: Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on a treacherous quest to hunt down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality — the Horcruxes. The Buzz: I am the least qualified to helm a discussion on the buzz surrounding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I’m the least qualified to discuss anything at all about Harry Potter, as I’ve read a mere ten pages of the first book, and only recently caught up with the films. That being said, having watched the first seven films in swift succession, immersing myself in Rowling’s world, I do find myself pretty amped about this Friday’s release (for the inevitable re-watch leading up to Part 2 -- which releases on July 15th). I very much enjoyed the Deathly Hollows Part 1 -- I thought it was one of the best in the series to date, and I'm hoping that Part 2 delivers on all that it promises. I just shook my magic 8-ball, and it informed: "All signs point to yes."
