DVD Court: Nov. 27

This week, we put just one film on trial. As The Jury, we recommend what should happen to a particular DVD released today. Voting Burn It, Skip It, Rent It, or Buy It, we come together to deliver a verdict and hope to help you decide what to watch or avoid. Unfortunately, there is no Court of Appeals this week. However, I'd like to introduce everyone to Fernando of Committed to Celluloid, the newest member of the Jury, bringing our total count to 12. While I will close any new applications for new members right now, come January, there will be more spots opening so contact me if you are interested.
