We celebrate the US presidential election with a week of politically-themed movie quizzes. In 1995, Rob Reiner, Michael Douglas and Annette Bening teamed up on a charming, if highly idealized, look at a sitting President's search for love. You may have the United Brotherhood of It's None of Your Damn Business on speed-dial, but how well do you know The American President?

Public Enemy Number One Part 1 opened in first place in France with $5.66 million on 489 screens. Adding in a couple of smaller markets and it pulled in $5.80 million on 527 screens in 3 markets over the weekend, landing in sixth place internationally.

Previously on the Amazing Race, a team lost by what seemed like three weeks. Suffice it to say that the drama was...muted.

We wrap up our discussion of summer box office with a discussion of the many, many, many August releases.

From the obscure to the obscurest to the merely overlooked or underappreciated; they all have a home in the TiVoPlex!

This week's list of DVD and Blu-rays feels a little shorter than usual. Either the problems I've been having with Amazon has caused me to miss a lot of releases, or this is just the calm before the storm. It won't be too long before the holiday shopping season starts, and when it does we will be flooded with DVDs and Blu-rays. As for the best of what's here, I'm going with Futurama - Bender's Game, either on DVD or Blu-ray.
