New on DVD: Week of October 27
It seems to be another quiet week for DVD and Blu-ray releases. The only movie I'd probably pick up is the Blu-ray version of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. This might be my favorite Christmas movie, and is definitely my favorite of all the 'Vacation' movies. Amazon.com has posted a video of all the extras you get with the collector's edition pack, and I must say it is definitely worth the price. Some of the stuff included are holiday collectibles, so you'll be able to use them every C...

Netflix Streaming Coming to PS3
As announced today the PS3 will be receiving Netflix streaming in November. This has been a really nice feature for watching movies and TV shows on the PC or the Xbox 360 for some time now. The biggest difference though is the PS3 will require the use of a "instant streaming Blu-ray disc" while the 360 has the program is fully integrated into XBL. There will be no extra charge for PS3 users, all that is required is a high enough subscription plan with Netflix. For those planning to use the f...

10/23 Box Office Results
The first indication that the Saw franchise is vulnerable has arrived. The previous sequels all opened with 30-34 million however after Friday's take Saw VI looks to finish up the weekend with about 18 million. The relatively low budget makes this still a very profitable venture but a disappointment because the majority of the money the picture will make will come in the first eight days. Not only did Saw VI drop significantly, for the first time it won't be #1 at the box office. Paranorm...

Box Office Predictions 10/23/09
Halloween arrives a week early at the box office as the now yearly installment of the Saw franchise is released. Saw VI will look to continue the astonishingly consistent performance of the sequels. The best chance of a strong box office pull is presented by releasing this weekend rather than next Friday. If it waited until that close to Halloween it would have a light Saturday audience and only the one day to take advantage of the anticipation of the holiday. Now Saw will likely have a big ...
