Other notables releases include The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day and The Fourth Kind. Here is the full release schedule broken up by standard DVD and Blu-ray: (more…)...

Oscars 2010 Results and Reaction
What was expected to be a largely predictable 82nd Annual Academy Awards turned out to be just that.

Despite that, it is really only a race between two, with two other extreme dark horses looming. Make sure to check back shortly after ...
