I've never met a serial killer I didn't like — well to watch on DVD anyway.
The collection of serial killers on DVD includes a few on Ted Bundy
(Mark Harmon does a good job in the hard to find TV movie DVD The Deliberate Stranger) and a great pair of movies on Charles Manson (there are two completely different versions of Helter Skelter with Steve Railsback (1976) and Jeremy Davies (2004) both giving really good , but different interpretations of Manson.)

Entertainment Editor Probably in some remote corner of the world, they are still awaiting the big screen debut of The Wizard of Oz.
For those old enough to remember, that most classic of classic films made its debut 70 years ago this week in the United States. The Hollywood premiere was actually Aug. 15, 1939; New York City, Aug. 17, and the world premiere in Oconomowoc, Wisc., Aug. 12. But World War II delayed the premiere in West (Germany) until after the war and they didn’t get to enjoy Dorothy, Toto and the Munchkins in Tokyo until 1954.

It’s hard to believe that this 2009 remake is actually tamer than the original The Last House on the Left made in the 1970s.

They are going to need to get a much bigger shelf for all those Emmys at HBO.
The cable network, which has redefined quality TV for a generation, led the pack again last week with 99 award nominations, far surpassing its closest competitor, NBC.
And way out in front of all those nominees is Grey Gardens, one of the best movies you will see on any screen.
