Weekly News Re-Cap: 10/1 - 10/8

Sorry this wasn’t sooner, but once I finally returned from Chicago, I was a bit more interested in laying down and catching up on Dexter than sitting in front of a computer.  However, the bonus here is that you can expect reviews of The Host and Requiem within a day or two, and if there is a demand for non-genre ones, you’ll have Princess and A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints as well.

If you want a heads up, a pair of those comprise the two best films I’ve seen all year - you may even hear the words "blown away" bandied about at some point.
