The weather might be warming up but that doesn't mean you can't stay inside and bask in the glow of your beloved television!
*Studies have shown the rays from a tv are vastly superior to that of the sun. While the sun does exude trace amounts of vitamin D, it also comes with harmful stuff. A television screen however emanates vitamins B12, B6, B18, C, C complex, D, D major, E, G, and the little known vitamin Q17.65F. It is also a source of good protein, all of the essential amino acids, magnesium, iron, and has been shown to re-grow hair where it is needed and eliminate unnecessary follicles where it is not. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, sun!
HOT OFF THE PRESSES! (the legal ones, of course!)
SHERLOCK HOLMES
Hey Holmes, did you remember to lock the door today before leaving for work? Are you sure?
AN EDUCATION
Like Little Jimmy Dickens, I got my education out behind the barn. Google it, y'all.
BAADER MEINHOF COMPLEX
Hotly anticipated! German! Terrorism! Pretzels!
PETROPOLIS
Peter Mettler's aerial overview of the Alberta tar sands. And it ain't a pretty picture.
STEVEN SEAGAL: LAWMAN SEASON 1
I'm not sure which is bigger, Mount Everest or Steven Seagal's ego?
RESCUE INK UNLEASHED SEASON 1
A group of large individuals with a serious dislike of animal abusers take matters into their own tattooed meat fists and unleash justice. Very satisfying viewing.
+ lots more krazy and kooky stuff that must be seen to be believed!

Thanks Mr. Courier!
Hey, check it out! The courier we call Mr. Courier came to the store and brought us some new movies!! Yay!!
THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX
After The Incredible Mr. Limpet starring everyone's hero Don Knotts, movies should never again be allowed to use The ___ Mr. ___ in the title. But looky here, Wes Anderson doesn't think he needs to follow the rules. Damn anarchist! The movie is an adaptation of a beloved book by some guy, some guy who released his book in 1970. This means he also ripped off The Incredible Mr. Limpet which came to enhance all of our lives in 1964! Even though I am furious right now, I'll still post the trailer for you to see, but keep in mind, this is an outrage!!!
MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS
Staring at a poor man's donkey ain't exactly my idea of a fun night out, but whatever floats your boat I always say.
MAD MEN SEASON 3
I could swear that season 2 just came out last Tuesday.
BLIND SIDE
I'm still of the opinion that Speed 2: Cruise Control should have secured Miss Bullock her first Osacar.
AFRICAN QUEEN
Finally available on the North American DVD, Bogie and HepK take you on a high octane technicolor roller coaster edge-of-your-seat barf-in-a-bag thrill ride down some river on a boat.
BROTHERS
Hey, check it, Hunky and Spider-Man and that girl from Revenge of the Sith decided to make a movie together.
Mr. Courier brought some other flicks too, so come in and look into our magical cardboard movie box for more!

Honky Tonk Mania!
A great friend and long lost customer from days gone by just sent us this incredible photo of himself with the one and only Honky Tonk Man! Jeremy Milloy and his much better half, Sarah, moved to B.C. in order to escape their massive pile of Have You Seen... late fees. Pathetic? You betcha! But they redeem themselves with this. Oh my goodness.
Got a photo of yourself with a professional wrestler or someone else mildly famous you're all proud of? We'd love to see it!

Save The Spill!!
Peterborough's super duper wicked awesome entertainment venue needs help beating back the financial wolves! This Saturday March 20, a fundraiser is being held to raise much needed revenue to keep the doors of this fine establishment OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
BANDS:
THE DIPLOMATS
TARANTULA
SUN RA RA RA
RIPPIN DONNIES
BAD DOCTOR
THE CHARMING RUINS
BEAR TREES
WIERD WEATHER
KEVIN BUSBY
BAKER MUCK RATTLERS

Kirby Dick Could Have Told Ya That
In completely (not) shocking news, an anti-gay U.S. senator has come out of the closet after being arrested for DUI following a visit to a gay bar. Roy Ashburn claims his numerous votes over the years against gay rights initiatives were not spurred by his personal feelings but those of his constituents. Ashburn would like everyone to believe he was merely carrying out the wishes of those who put him into office. It's been pointed out that Ashburn also voted to increase taxes. Probably not something his voters endorsed when they selected his name on the ballot.
Why is a movie store blog covering this news story? Well, first off, we're people who think hypocrisy shouldn't be buried, especially when carried out by politicians. Second, it brings to mind a fantastic recent documentary on this very subject by filmmaker Kirby Dick called 'Outrage.' The movie assembles details on a maddening array of politicians living in the closet who also happen to vote most fiercely against gay issues. Supposedly, these efforts are intended to deflect away from the fact that they themselves are homosexual. Guess what? It's not working.

Oscars and Other Junk
The Oscars are a time for thespians and movie makers to get together and either pat each other on the back or punch each other in the face. I'm still waiting for video to surface showing the alleged fight between Precious star Gabourey Sidibe and Dame Helen Mirren. According to Hollywood outsiders, the two squared off backstage following an altercation where Sidibe is rumoured to have suplexed Mirren into a plate of Cornish game hens. Ladies, this is no way for anyone to behave. I'm disgusted by you both.
Speaking of the Oscars, plenty of nominated and winning films from this past edition are available now on the DVD or coming soon. Out today we gots for ya:
PRECIOUS: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
UP IN THE AIR
That dreamy George Clooney is at it again getting me all nervous with his bone-chilling smile.
BAD BIOLOGY
A movie that would win an Oscar if there were a category for disembowelment and head crushing is Frank Henenlotter's Bad Biology. This Have You Seen... main man is responsible for such gems as Basket Case 1+2, Brain Damage & Frankenhooker. Not too shabby a resume, eh? EH? And by the way, WHY is there NOT an Oscar category for disembowelment and head crushing?
mild content alert!
More movies just added - JUST FOR YOU!
CAIRO STATION
HACHI: A DOG'S TALE
From director Lasse Hallstrom (My Life As a Dog, Cider House Rules, Chocolat etc.)
BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY
They said it would never happen and director Troy Duffy almost made sure it didn't (see the amazing doc 'Overnight' for details why) but here it is. The sequel to the 1999 cult hit.
STONING OF SORAYA M.
Late 1980's Iran, a woman is forced into an arranged marriage. Have not yet seen this, but it's certainly on the list.
CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY
Michael Moore returns with another documentary where he chases (OK, walks) after more big meanies and makes people cry. It's been critically acclaimed and many say this is his best since Roger and Me.
Until next time Peterborough (and surrounding region), take care of yourselves and each other.

Can't Stop the Movies!
New for the week of whatever week it is...
PONYO
Hayao Miyazaki's latest about a goldfish who wants to become a girl and the little boy who loves her for it. That's funny because when I was a little girl I wanted to become a carp who was adored by a sasquatch.
2012
Have you heard the news? In the year 2012, we're all gonna drive cars erratically while dodging collapsing buildings in ludicrous scenarios with bad CG backdrops. And we're gonna fly airplanes quite well even though we just have our learner's permits. For approx. 158 minutes.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
The anticipated Spike Jonze adaptation of the beloved children's book about a monkey named Tobias and the army of pelicans who perform liposuction on his Auntie Sue.
And in this Lil' Wayne's hour of need, our thoughts and prayers are with him as he goes to prison.
Peace out HYS... homies!
