A Few Side Notes:
1.  Wow, what a lame weekend at the movies.  I don’t have kids and wasn’t interested in Narnia when I was young so I’ll pass on Prince Caspian.
2.  Reprise just sounds extremely boring.  Were they going for a Once look with that poster?  Fail.
3.  Does anyone care how the Garcia Girls spent their summer?  I sure don’t.  I wasn’t wondering either.  Thanks for making another space filler on Blockbuster’s shelf.
4.  Sangre could actually be pretty solid as the plot sounds quite original.  But since the release is so limited, we’ll have to wait for the Netflix announcement.
