New DVDs: March 20-26

19th March 2011

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do any blogging this past week. It was a very busy time at work with guests visiting the university from a school in California and Cambodia. This coming week, we have another set of guests coming from the USA and New Zealand, but the latter is confined to one meeting on Tuesday, so I will probably have time to write a review.  As far as DVDs, we have several being released, including modern classics that should definitely be part of your collection if they are not already, Oasis and Peppermint Candy.  Below are the details of all the dvds coming this week.
