It’s almost Saturday night, and you still don’t know what you want to do with yourself. I went to see theDark Knightlast weekend, so my fill of the movie theater has been completed for the year. If you’re like me and you’d rather stay home to watch a new movie, the latest update to the video portion of the PlayStation store may seem enticing. This week is a mash of older movies and reality TV shows.
The highlights of the television portion is the introduction ofEverest: Beyond the Limit. I know, it sounds completely dumb, but I was drawn into the series by the simple curiosity of why anyone in their right mind would think about scaling Mt. Everest. It turns out that no one in their right mind is willing to climb that thing, and watching these guys freeze to death, break their wrists, or stare at the sun too long is just too compelling to turn off. If you’re into the tattoo industry, episodes ofLAandMiami Inkwere uploaded as well. I personally enjoyMiami Ink, but it’s not likeI have a bias or anything.
For movies, it’s all aboutReign of Fire,King Arthur, andUnforgiven.Reign of Fireis a beautiful movie about a dragon ravaged Earth, starring the most amazing man in film history – Christian Bale. It’s kind of likeWaterworld, except dragons instead of water. Also, Christian Bale.King Arthuris an attempt to convey an old story in the proper historical context. Unfortunately, it’s neither the correct context nor even the right fable. At least they tried, right? AndUnforgivenis a western directed by Clint Eastwood. How apt.
Hit the break for the full release list this week, and don’t forget to tell me what you’re downloading.
This week we’ve added new video content from the following television series:
