Yes it was over the top violent and gory, now their's a segment of Punisher fans that wanted that, then there was a segment that liked the Thomas Jane incarnation, Punisher falls so outside the regular stable of Marvel properties its tough how to portray it, it's interesting that the villians origin is almost the same as Nicholson's Joker, substitutung Glass for Acid. In fact the Scene afterward is almost the same. Ray Stevenson of Rome Fame fit the part, but I kept on Thinkins that Titus Pullo deserved better.

I'd never heard of that one until a couple of days ago when I started hearing how great it is from various people.

That David Foster & Friends concert has been broadcast on PBS approximately once every three days for the past couple of months, I think.

Punisher: War Zone abandons all pretense of being serious, and is just gonzo gore and violence and black humor.

Any roundup info for the Paramore: The Final Riot blu-ray being released to coincide with Twilight on the 21st?

I'll second that recommendation for LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.
A really nice surprise from last year.

It's interesting how that has happened, since that version was also heavily criticized upon release. Most people hated the changes to the character- particularly the fire hydrant gag. It just goes to show what a difference five years can make.

The villains are definitely a throwback to the comic style of the late eighties/early nineties (ie. Batman, The Flash, Dick Tracy, etc.)

Has anyone noticed, by any chance, if Target might be carrying either The Robe or Quo Vadis on blu-ray this week?

I highly doubt it...but I've been surprised before. I figure The Robe on BD @ Target might be a possibility.

I was in Target this morning, but didn't see it with the new releases...however, not having a BD player I don't check out the full BD section.

I DID notice the Batman Anthology BD box set for $84.99 (reg. $99.99) as an unadvertised special.
