If you want something decent to watch this weekend...check out the Masters.  Check out the Tribe games.  Check out the Cavs Friday and Sunday.  Check out your NetFlix Queue, or the latest selections at Blockbuster.  Check out the grass growing in your yard, or paint a wall and watch it dry.  Anything other than wasting time at the theater, because this weekend's new releases are weak says Mitch in this Friday's Crystal Ball.  We do have Mitch's favorite movie of '07 releasing on DVD though, as well as news on Robert DeNiro's latest project.
