I didn’t have time to do the Release Radar last week, but it turned out to be a fairly unexciting week other aside from a few titles. I thought I was going to have time to jump headfirst into this one but the job and podcast require a lot of time, so I don’t have it in me to do my usually snarky blurbs for each movie. However, I did want to make sure I got back in the saddle because I like know what’s out there. So, if you are looking for something to watch this weekend, here’s a look at everything on deck.
