RENTALS
Call it "Guerilla Arts." Watch an eventual 200 or people, dressed as travelers, burst out dancing to "Do Re Me" from "The Sound of Music" - in the middle of the Central Station of Antwerp, Belgium. The unsuspecting audience is at first bewildered, and then seems to enjoy the entertainment.

Piracy, the video game industry's multi-billion dollar problem, may have met its match.
A comedy showcasing two legends, "Grumpy Old Men" (Warner, 1993, $28.99), and a compelling science-fiction thriller, "Knowing" (Summit, 2009, $34.98), lead this week's lineup of new titles arriving on Blu-ray.
The following games are scheduled for release this week, according to GameSpot.com:
"This is a fortunate life," Garrison Keillor says in the opening moments of "Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes."
After Kirk Douglas helped break the Hollywood blacklist by hiring the well-known radical Dalton Trumbo to write the screenplay for 1960's "Spartacus," Douglas teamed up again with Trumbo on "Lonely Are the Brave." But that excellent film from 1962, which Trumbo adapted from Edward Abbey's novel and stars Douglas as a cowboy who doesn't fit in with life in modern America, has long been hard to see.
Tuesday's new DVD releases are heavy on the sci-fi and action - and that's a good thing.

When Oblivion and Doom meet, the Fallout is bound to yield surprises; and perhaps offer some insight into the future of the video game industry.

The news that Warner Home Video was releasing a newly discovered version of Hal Ashby's early '80s gambling comedy, "Lookin' to Get Out," was reason to get excited. Ashby was the Oscar-winning editor of "In the Heat of the Night" and, later, the director of such timely, important and memorable films from the 1970s as "The Landlord," "Harold and Maude," "The Last Detail," "Shampoo," "Coming Home" and Being There."
"Red Faction" was a decent shooter with an awesome gimmick.
