• Bewitched - The Complete Seventh Season:  This is great classic TV comedy at it’s best.  Samantha, a powerful member of the society of witches who falls in love with a mortal, Darrin Stephens. Much to the disgust of most of her family, she vows to give up witchcraft and become an ordinary suburban housewife, raising a family.  Never able to give up her heritage completely, the friction between the matriarchal, moneyless society of her birth and the patriarchal, capitalist society of modern advertising brings about many comical situations.  This show has a lot of re-watchability.


• Dragonheart - A New Beginning: not nearly as good as the first Dragonheart movie.  I would classify it as If Pressured: Would only watch it if a friend brought it over and insisted on watching it.


• Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom:  I’m very excited this is out on DVD now, I loved the series and can’t wait to find out what happens.  For more read: Theater or Renter October 2008, and In Theater: Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom.


• Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa:  I really loved the first film and expect this one to be just as good, It’s a renter for me and now it’s on my list.  For more read Theater or Renter: November 2008.


• Zack and Miri Make a Porno:  I loved this film, It’s an owner.  For more read Review of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, In Theater: Zack and Miri Make a Porno.  Be careful which DVD you pick up, some of the copies out there do not contain the entire title.  For more on that story read Zack and Miri Make a Porno Out On DVD.

Noah’s Arc is a wonderful fairy tale exploring love and romance.  It started as a TV show on Logo and ended season 2 in a nail biting cliffhanger.  Jumping the Broom is to pick up where season 2 left off and follows the main characters to a wedding in Martha’s Vineyard.

I loved the show, it is an owner, and I watch it regularly.  The characters are wonderful, have a dynamic chemistry with each other and feel real, making them and their situations relatable.  I expect the movie to have the same which makes it a theater.  Watch The Trailer here in the P:S HQ.  Read Theater or Renter October for more information.

Let me know what you think.  Will you go to see Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom in the theater on October 24 or rent it?  If you have seen it in the theater should I go see it and why?
