• The third volume of The Bette Davis Collection is out this week. The collection includes 1942's In This Our Life. Davis plays the baddie who steals her sister's husband and manipulates her uncle through booze and feminine wiles. Wrote John Huston, the director of the film: "There is something elemental about Bette -- a demon within her which threatens to break out and eat everybody, beginning with their ears."

• Speaking of ear-eating, The Cook (2008) is a soft-core, cannibalistic romp (with lesbian fantasy sequences) about sorority sisters who spend all their time playing sex games and, possibly, eating each other unintentionally.

• Also released this week is the "extreme unrated remastered special edition" of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004). Just in time for the release of the sequel, in which -- in a slight turn of events -- Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay.
