If anything, this will be an interesting weekend at the box office. Baz Luhrmann’s flashy adaptation of an American literary classic and a Tyler Perry-produced comedy may not worry about competing against one another, but both have to compete against last weekend’s $174 million blockbuster. Darryl from ‘The Office’ and the Man in the Iron Mask (Leonardo DiCaprio) go toe-to-toe with the Man in the Iron Suit.

Director Baz Luhrmann has created a grand opus filled with shiny costumes, modern music, magical camera tricks and classical early Hollywood filmmaking to once again bring to life F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved and iconic novel ‘The Great Gatsby’. The film is over-the-top, lavish and a bit flawed, but so is the title character, after all. The feel and tone of the film is entrancing, as the visuals take us to the early 1920s New York, where we become infatuated with Gatsby and his American dream.

This is a pretty good week to be a Tom Cruise fan. The actor’s new sci-fi flick ‘Oblivion’ is still doing well in theaters, and a movie of his from last year (that you probably haven’t seen) hits video on Tuesday. Also new on Blu-ray, we have an interesting assortment of horror, classics, musicals, guilty pleasures, forgotten treasures and existential mystery. Surely, there must be something in here for you?

Since ‘Iron Man 2‘ proved to be less than stellar back in 2010, this third adventure for the Marvel hero returns with a much-needed boost of attitude and character. ‘Iron Man 3′, which can be also considered a sequel to ‘‘The Avengers‘, takes us through many twists and turns and tons of new Iron Man suits. Director Shane Black tosses away some of the wham-bam action to focus on the quick-witted humor and our hero’s internal struggle with crippling panic attacks. I have no doubt that this will be a fan favorite of the franchise and will light up the box office something fierce.

Last week was a pretty stressful time in world events, particularly for those of us who live in Boston. (Rest assured, everything is fine at the Zyber household.) Now we must attempt to return to some sense of normalcy, which for this site means taking a look at this week’s new Blu-ray releases. To that end, we have a couple of genre pastiches, a couple of dramas based on true events, the 3D re-release of a classic summer blockbuster and more.

Disney’s ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ may not have won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature this year, but many viewers considered it superior to the movie that did win (Pixar’s ‘Brave’). One of our readers is about to find out why, as we give away that four-disc Blu-ray edition that we promised last week. Let’s see who won!

Reports claim that moviegoing was down in the first Quarter on 2013, but this weekend might signal a better Q2. Both a remake and a re-release opened strongly and defied the downward box office trend. Continue Reading
