Fresh Fodder: New DVD Releases - 05/29/07

Shew, what a bare-minimum kind of week. When I saw the premise for Thomas Harris' novel "Hannibal Rising," I actually got kind of excited over the prospect of learning about Hannibal's past in celluloid form (I heard the novel was actually pretty good). But then the lukewarm movie reviews started rolling in, so now I've lost the anticipatory buzz of wanting to see it. I'll still rent it though, just because for some reason in my deep-seeded soul, I can't pass on a serial killer origin story.

As always, leave your mini-review in the comments!
