New on DVD: Week of November 3
This week isn't a bad week for releases compared to the last few weeks. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 was a pretty decent movie. The storyline was a bit far fetched at times, but overall it was an enjoyable movie. Also hitting stores is Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut.

24 Will Have Another Past Character Return
24 has never shied away from reintroducing characters from previous seasons. At the rate they die or turn sides it is inevitable that they have to refresh or tie them into previous storylines. Hell last year they brought back a guy who had been killed off so nothing can come as a surprise anymore. With the premiere of 24 coming on January 17th more details on the season are making their way out. One of my favorite characters from earlier on in 24 will be back for season eight. This could ...
