Recent A/V.

•   Jekyll -- A six-hour miniseries that tells a modern-day version of the Jekyll & Hyde story, written by Steven Moffat and starring the fantabulous James Nesbitt ("I've been using some fruity soaps, Maggie.").  Smart, funny, scary and just plain awesome right up until the last half-hour or so, which I thought was extremely weak.

•   Wristcutters: A Love Story -- Awww.  We watched this one last night and both really, really liked it.  A boy offs himself after his girlfriend dumps him and ends up... somewhere else, where things are pretty much the same but a little bit worse.  It reminded us both a little bit of Motorama, partly because of the pacing and partly because of the road trip.

•   Blanche -- It's rare that Josh and I find bands we agree on.  Clearly Blanche is special.  We haven't stopped listening to Little Amber Bottles since I bought it a couple of weeks ago.  Go to their MySpace page and give The World I Used to Be Afraid Of a listen.
