A fairy tale set in a parallel-universe version of Nazi-occupied France, Inglourious Basterds is a pulpy, darkly comic, violent thriller written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The movie features a fine international cast, and a substantial part of the marvelous dialogue is in German and French (with English subtitles). One of the best things about the film is the brilliant, Oscar-winning performance by Austrian-born actor Christoph Waltz. Read more: Inglourious Basterds DVD review

Financially troubled Blockbuster has made major changes to its terms for in-store rentals of DVD and Blu-ray discs, shortening the "initial rental period," eliminating the "grace period" and imposing late fees (called "additional daily rates" in Blockbuster-speak). Now renters will be charged one dollar (plus taxes) per day for any rental disc they keep longer than five days. A rental that is late by more than 10 days is automatically converted into a sale, and while the sale can be reversed if the disc is returned within the following 30 days, the reversal can trigger additional fees. The new terms make renting from Blockbuster stores much less attractive for the large group of consumers who are not careful about keeping track of due dates.
