Joey's leaving on a jet plane...

...and while I know when I'll be back again, for the next week I'll only be a limited presence on the site. Essentially, look for my DVD column on Tuesday like normal and sporadic posts to the blog. For me, I'll be in Las Vegas, then on to North Carolina and Virginia for some family business. See you all on the other side!

Circuit Round-Up, 07/10

* Last week, Joey’s DVD Picks of the Week centers on a diverse selection of three new DVD releases.

* In honor of America’s 235^th birthday, I published my list of the ten most patriotic films ever made.

* I also mused about the bizarre dichotomy between Michael Bay’s poor reputation and his financial success.

* Typical. The one time I didn’t want to be correct in my box office predictions was the one that ended up dead-on in Mike’s Box Office Actuals for the Independence Day weekend.

* On the bright side, that should make my preview of the weekend openings less of a joke…

* Finally, Joey Magidson published his Mid-Year report card.
