Well, we're back from our week off, and we have three reviews for you. First, I go stargazing when I review the very well-received adult fairy tale, Star Dust, starring Robert Deniro and Clare Danes.

Then we take a look back at one of the best thrillers you're ever likely to see, 1988's The Vanishing (The Dutch/French version, NOT the awful American remake).

Today on the show we review the very clever slasher deconstruction flick, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Then Doug and I get in a MAJOR fight about Bridge to Terabithia...Seriously, it makes our Death Proof argument look like a love fest. Word of warning, if you don't like tension (and some cursing), you might want to skip this ridiculous 22-minute UFC style bout. What can I say...we're too lazy to edit. Finally though, Doug and I manage to make-up in time to give out our awards for the best and worst of 2007 so far.

Today Doug and I review Waitress, starring Kerri Russell and our boy from Serenity and Slither, Nathan Fillion. On a tragic note, Waitress is also the final film from late director Adrienne Shelly, who was tragically murdered in her office in 2006. On a much lighter note, do you know how Doug and I know you're gay? Because you're going to listen to our extremely belated review of The 40-Year-Old Virgin! Finally, since as Doug pointed out I was the last person to see Judd Apatow's first film, we thought we'd count down the top 5 movies we haven't seen yet, but hope to.

Everyone's favorite drag queen pirate is back in the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean; was it as strong an entry as the first two films, or has Johnny Depp's Keith Richards impersonation finally wore out its welcome. Next we look at the craziest filmmaker in Hollywood, Mel Gibson, and his latest DVD release, Apocalypto; like his previous efforts it is violent and in a foreign language, but does this one have something more? Finally, Happy Birthday Darth Vader! We take a nostalgic look back at the Star Wars Saga; its highs, its lows, and our top 5 favorite moments.

In honor of Earth Day (I know, I'm a couple days late!), I'm taking a quick look at the 11-Part Mini-Series, Planet Earth. This series takes an in depth look at the wondrous and unusual aspects of nature that many of us weren't even aware of, but all of us can appreciate. Each episode focuses on a different region/habitat, such as "Caves", "Deserts", "Jungles", "The Shallow Seas", and more. Listen to find out why many critics (myself included) are dubbing this the greatest nature documentary of all time.
