30 ROCK Season 3

You really need a review for this?  How about you talk to five little golden ladies, all named Emmy?...

ADAM RESURRECTED

Jeff Goldblum plays, in the latest Paul Schrader film, a Jewish comedian who, in order to escape the Nazis, has to turn into a fly!  Actually he debases himself to Willem Defoe, but that sounds like less fun.

Someone gets Lyme disease in this hilarious and compelling lymedy from Ragtag.  Is it Alec Baldwin?  Watch and find out!

BOOK OF BLOOD

Sounds nasty

http://efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=19284

ALBINO FARM

Also a little nasty.  Based on a legendary people farm in Springfield, MO!  (As if Springfield wasn't scary enough already)

Space program stuff.  Compares to In the Shadow of the Moon, I think.
