New on DVD: Week of April 19
There isn't much hitting stores this week, but of the few that are, there are some good ones. Crazy Heart, which stars Jeff Bridges, is probably the best of the bunch. The film did well in reviews scoring a 92% 'fresh rating' on Rottentomatoes.com. Here is the full release schedule broken up by standard DVD and Blu-ray: (more…)...

‘Mighty Mouse’ Reboot In The Works
The La Times' 24 Frames Blog is reporting that Paramount is working on releasing a reboot to the popular cartoon Might Mouse. The project, based on the vintage cartoon about a crime-fighting super-mouse (which will surely get a modern spin) has been in development for several years at Paramount and its Nickelodeon Movies label. A number of writers have taken stabs at a script over that time, including the Gunn brothers (Brian and Mark), who also count the "Journey to the Center of Earth" se...

New on DVD: Week of April 12
This is a very slow week for movie releases. There aren't many 'must buys' out there. I did get the chance to see The Slammin' Salmon and I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it. You either will love this movie, or hate it. A quick look at the reviews will prove it. For example, IMDB.com users rated it a 6.9/10, which isn't bad. But Rottentomatoes.com gave this movie a 39%, making it 'rotten'. The comedy centers around a retired boxer's (Michael Clark Duncan) restaurant and it's staff. If...

Columbia Pictures has hired Mike Finch and Alex Litvak, the writers for the upcoming Predators reboot, to write the script for Masters of the Universe.

Top DVD Sales and Rentals for Week Ending April 4, 2010
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel was surprisingly the top selling movie last week. I say surprising because the movie is terrible. The film only scored a 20% rating on Rottentomatoes.com, making it 'rotten'. Even though it is a 'family' film, I thought Sherlock Holmes would have sold the most. The film, which stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, was second in sales but was the top renting DVD last week. After spending a couple of weeks at the top of the sales chart, The Twilight Saga...
