Kate Beckinsale and some other stuff.

DVDs

Vacancy starring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson (the one with the straight nose). This is picture is upposed to be a bit of a dog but you can decide yourself. A young couple is stranded on the road and spend the night in a ratty motel. The only show on television is a low budget slasher flick. Then couple realize the film was shot in their motel room, that they are locked inside, and cameras are watching them.

Wild Hogs starring four middle aged guys you'll recognize. Four middle aged guys who look a lot like John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy buy motorcycles, take a cross-country trip and have a trouble with a biker gang. "Madcap mayhem."

Dexter: the first season starring Michael C. Hall. I read the two novels by Jeffry Lindsay, Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter, and they were really good. This Showtime production is supposed to be pretty good too. Dexter is a professional blood splatter analyst with the Miami P.D. But, he is also a pleasingly pleasant sociopath whose avocation is murdering murderers. Hilarity and bleeding ensue.
