The weekly menu

• Notable entertainment product in stores Aug. 21 and movies in theaters Aug. 24.

DVD
Dexter: Season One // This one is a must for anyone who shares this blog's sensibilities. Jeff Lindsay's brilliant character, a killer who channels his urges into killing other cold-hearted killers, has busy times ahead in September, with season two firing up on Showtime and the third novel in the series, Dexter in the Dark, seeing publication.

Robocop: 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition Steelbook // One of many reasons to love the entertainment of 1987.

Ugly Betty: Season One: The Bettyfriend Edition // A couple episodes of this show was really enough, wasn't it?

Serenity: Collector's Edition

Music
Loreena McKennitt • Nights from the Alhambra (2 CD+DVD) // As good as "The Mummer's Dance" was, she must have another good tune or two up her sleeve.

Darren Hayes • This Delicate Thing We've Made // Because Savage Garden crashed and burned.

Games
Brunswick Pro Bowling (PS2, wii) // Includes "10 authentic Brunswick bowling centers" and the ability to earn new balls and shoes and beer along the way.

In theaters
Barring an interest in Mr. Bean or Scarlett Johansson serving as nanny for the family from hell, this is a good weekend to take in The Invasion or spring for a rental.

" As good as "The Mummer's Dance" was, she must have another good tune or two up her sleeve."

I have the exact same sentiments. I have been wondering about that for years.
