The DVD Update

Your Netflix queue is probably about to burst with an overabundance of selections, but don't gorge too much too quickly, as new options pop up weekly. Periodically, The Scout will update you, the reader, with a release schedule to help you program your DVD rental diet and maybe pony up enough notice for you to start to scour the couch for pennies to purchase a library-worthy favorite. Of course, if shifts in the schedule occur, you'll be the first to know. Grades a la The Scout (in red) might sway you one way or another, but if you absolutely must ... satisfy your curiosity.

Mr. Weston: I just wanted to say that I enjoy reading The Scout very much. It's funny and informative and visual. Being a movie buff, I obsess over a lot of the things you write about.

I think you're confused, Margaret. I didn't see "Night at the Museum." That "C+" is for "The Pursuit of Happyness." Sorry about the confusion.
