(Or, as they call it, fall DVDs)...

For each one they list the movie, a synopsis, why it might be good on film, and why you might want to just wait for the DVD.

The best one?

Harry Potter, of course.

What it's about: We're not sure. An Internet search on this "Harry Potter" character yields very little information. Is he an alien or something? We're a little stumped.

Why it might be worth seeing in theaters: Again, we're not sure. The trailer makes this look like some sort of Dragonheart sequel, but there's no sign of Sean Connery.

Why you're probably better off waiting for the DVD: You might have no other choice. There's a good chance that this obscure indie could come and go from theaters in a flash, if it plays in your city at all.

Possible special feature: We did discover that it's based on a book by someone named J.K. Rowling. Maybe he could provide an audio commentary or something.

I've heard something about a book based on this Potter film. Not too sure if it's true, though. I mean, who'd read a book like that?

I like dragons, so if this Harry Potter thingy is about them, I'll go and watch it just cause of that. Although Harry Potter seems like a weird name for a dragon.

I think they're confusing Harry Morgan with the character he played on M*A*S*H named Sherman Potter.

Now that's funny. No wonder his two sidekicks are Hawkeye Granger and Ronald Emerson Winchester, the Third.

I'm picturing Snape in a dress a-la Klinger ... wait, didn't they do that already?
