Let me start this week's HD-DVD release feature with a simple observation: The Academy has not chosen to recognize any of these films with a nomination or award of any sort.  'Nuff said.

Our recommendation this week is to grab Half Baked (some of Chapelle's early work) or check out Beerfest, which, according to one dude who reviewed it on IMD is supposed to be pretty hilarious, especially if you watch it with your buddies.  I personally watched The Wicker Man over the weekend, and a rating of 3.3/10 is pretty generous.  I can only recommend this movie if you need it to fill out your Nicholas Cage collection.
 
Below are the HD-DVD releases for the week, along with their IMDB rating and the number of votes recieved on IMDB so you can judge what "the people" think about the movie.  Each movie below is linked to Amazon if you would like to add the movie to your personal collection at a good price.
