The Chinese proverbs warns you, "May your life be interesting," and today sure is an interesting day for DVD and Blu-Ray releases, to say the least.

This week sees the DVD releases of the much lauded THE CHILDREN, as well as a pair of remakes, one long shelved, one a SyFy version of a Stephen King adaptation that's being remade elsewhere, neither much called for.  Yes, Oct. 6 sees the release of IT'S ALIVE and CHILDREN OF THE CORN.

 For those with Blu-Ray players, Takashi Miike's deceptively vicious AUDITION sees its re-release in the high-def form.  Miike's Japanese, and I can personally affirm that the Chinese proverb doesn't apply to this one.  At least not until it's killer ending, which should shock and disgust like few others.
