27 Dresses starring Katherine Heigl. Heigl is some tv star on Grey's Anatomy. Heigl plays a gal who is always a bridesmaid and then sets her sights on her boss. Chick movie.
Lost Highway starring Bill Pullman, Patrica Arquette, Robert Blake. Jacob the Page's incessant blather about David Lynch motivated me to purchase this one. "Haunting sexuality, ricochet action and fleeting, murderous shadows await you on a journey that begins and ends on the Lost Highway."
If you like this one you can try out Inland Empire, Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, and Mulholland Dr. I suppose I shouldn't blame the Page.

Anne Murray Lives! plus some rap.
Music CDs
Duets: friends and legends by Anne Murray. Murray sings duets with other women. I'm not sure how many of these tunes were recently recorded. Heck Dusty Springfield has been dead for years. At least five singing partners are Canadian. There might be other Canadians hidden in the 17 tunes on this disc but I'm not going to look up all the biographies.
Speaking of Dusty there are two albums available through the catalog Dusty in Memphis and The Very Best of Dusty Springfield. We have Shelby Lynne's CD of Dusty Springfield covers, Just a Little Lovin'.
Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace by Big and Rich. What's the deal with these guys?
Good Time by Alan Jackson. This guy's CDs always check out.
The Wolf by Shooter Jennings. The son of Waylon Jennings. Judging from the band photo Shooter is trying real hard to be "outlaw country". He has a radio show on Sirius radio.
Elephant in the Room by Fat Joe. Rapper guy with diamond encrusted watch.
Ego Trippin by Snoop Dogg. I don't listen to rap but Snoop scowls very well so he must be good.
Best of Both Worlds Concert by Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. CD and DVD. Ugh.
