New on DVD: Week of September 29
It looks like another slow week for movie releases. Nothing on the list seems to be worth a DVD or Blu-ray purchase. I did get a chance to see Away We go. It was a decent romantic comedy that did have it's moments, but definitely not something I'd see again. A couple of collections being released on DVD this week are the Batman and Blade Collections. If the Blade Collection was being released on Blu-ray I'd consider picking it up. I really enjoyed the first two Blade films and I believe the...

Family targeted pictures generally drop off less than other genres, but a lack of competition along with the 3D and IMAX hauls made for an especially strong second weekend. Coming in second was the Bruce Willis vehicle Surrogates which pulled in 15 m...

Review: Pandorum
When two members of a spaceship flight crew awake from hyper-sleep to find that they have no memories and a ship in disarray; they are forced to piece together a dark chain of events that led them there. The concept of Pandorum, scared survivors trapped in a confined space pursued by unknown evil force, is noting particularly new or original (See Event Horizon or The Descent for much better examples). The only way to make a film like this work is to have a quality script and an atmosphere...
