DVD/Blu-ray for Week of November 15th
This is one of the flattest weeks of DVD/Blu-ray releases in quite some time - maybe not coincidentally as it follows on the heels of the final chapter of Harry Potter having arriving in stores. The only major theatrical release was Larry Crowne which turned out to be a big disappointment. A number of re-releases though are in the mix as well. (more…)...

DVD/Blu-ray for Week of November 8th
This week of DVD/Blu-ray releases is headlined by the final entry in the Harry Potter franchise with Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

DVD/Blu-ray Releases for Week of October 25th

There's a little bit of everything releasing on DVD/Blu-ray this week - headlined by the worldwide smash hit (though less so in the US) with the fourth entry in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. There is also the raunchy R rated comedy Bad Teacher, Kevin Smith's uniquely distributed horror film Red State, and the kids/teen focused Monte Carlo. The animated Batman: Year One (which is getting some really good reviews) debuts along with classics The Goonies and The Crow getting their firs...

DVD/Blu-ray Releases for Week of October 11th
This week's group of DVD/Blu-ray releases are an uninspired bunch - with the biggest one Green Lantern having been a bomb at the box office while the comedies and The Tree of Life generated starkly split reaction amongst audiences. (more…)...
