The Addams Family on DVD

Addams Gomez5

According to the Unofficial Addams Family site, The Addams Family TV shows should start coming out on DVD this October.

I know The Addams Family and The Munsters both came out in 1964, but the latter always felt like a cheap knock-off to me. The Addams Family seemed a little weirder, a little more dangerous, and, as far as I was concerned, a lot funnier.

Anyway, looks like another addition to my Christmas list…

Aeon Sux

Aeon-Flux-20050711065652403-1

With the recent rash of late night feedings, late night diaper changes and the like, I’ve been working my Netflix queue hard.

I just finished up Aeon Flux and while I wasn’t expecting a great movie, I was surprised how disappointed I was.

The source material is odd but interesting, and I think they had trouble pounding such unconventional into the traditional “we need another big action set piece here” mold. (Also, how they ended up making Charlize Theron in a skin tight catsuit look plain is beyond me.)

And am I the only one who thinks all this damn wire work jumped the kung-fu shark two Matrix sequels ago? Honestly, it’s just boring now. Time for someone to come up with something new, or, truer to Hollywood, repackage some older shit again.

Anyway, I’ll give them some credit for the attempt, and as 2 AM bottle fodder it’s fine, but for goodness sake don’t waste an evening on this wannabe stylish vanilla.
