<\/a><\/div>\n

If the weather for the rest of June is going to be anything like it is now, we’re in for a scorching summer. Do you need a good reason to stay inside right about now? What better way to fight the heat than to curl up on the couch and watch movies until your eyes bleed out? Should you choose this sort of AV-enabled respite, we’re glad to help out.<\/p>\n

The flow of new acquisitions has started once again, and we’ve got some good DVDs this month. Her<\/i> and Philomena <\/i>complete our collection of Oscar nominees, while Men in Black<\/i> and War of the Worlds<\/i> fill some gaps in our backlog (Men in Black<\/i> came out in 1997!). If you’re more inclined towards documentaries, consider watching We Are Legion<\/i> or A Brief History of Time<\/i>. And if you just want to see things blow up for a while? There’s always Ender’s Game<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Hit the jump for a full list of what we have this month…
