With its confusing and frankly meaningless title, cable TV origins, and mostly B-level stars, The Last Seduction largely flew under viewers’ radars back in 1994. Fortunately, the movie holds up remarkably well as a darkly co...
It’s probably too soon to tell for sure, and I wouldn’t put it past the show’s writers to ret-con a BS explanation later to get out of it, but Fear the Walking Dead appears to have done something pretty shocking ...
In what is proving to be a very expensive July, this week’s selection of new Blu-rays and Ultra HD discs have to compete not just with each other, but against all the other bargains being unleashed as part of Amazon’s ...
A couple weeks ago, we asked what movie you wish could be erased from all memory of its existence. For the flip side, what one single movie would you save if all other examples of the cinema art form were wiped out?
With Blu-ray and Ultra HD available, I may no longer have much cause to watch Toy Story on Laserdisc, but the Deluxe CAV box set is still a handsome collectible to have on the shelf.

Zombie rock climbers? That’s a new one. Fear the Walking Dead sets aside most of the main cast this week to finally tell us what happened to Althea (Maggie Grace). The answer is surprisingly interesting, even if you don̵...
With the start of July comes the latest Criterion Collection sale at Barnes & Noble. As always, this is a great time to stock up on Blu-rays from the label. However, I really wonder whether Criterion’s new streaming ser...
