Despite appearances, new Blu-ray discs will indeed be released this week. You’d be forgiven for not noticing.

Let me warn you in advance that this August does not look like a very exciting month for new Blu-rays releases. On the other hand, at least there are a lot of them. By volume alone, you might find something of interest.
I’ve been accused, on an occasion or two, of using these Highlights posts to shit all over the new movies being released on home video each week. I don’t think that’s entirely fair. However, when the Blu-ray gods...
One of the biggest movies of the year hits home video this week. It also happens to be one of the worst reviewed and most widely disliked. Will that stop it from racking up huge sales on Blu-ray and DVD? I guess we’ll find o...
This week’s Blu-ray releases are tinged with sadness. The most promising new title available reminds us of the recent loss of its talented young star.
Welcome back from the July 4th festivities. We hope you got your fill of parades, backyard barbecues, and watching stuff blow up while classical music plays. As is so typical during holiday weeks, you shouldn’t expect any ma...

Another long weekend has flown by too quickly. Let’s start the new week as we always do, by looking at all the latest Blu-ray releases. As few as there may be this week, perhaps you’ll find a disc of interest?
The two best Blu-rays this week are actually reissues of movies previously released on the format. That either speaks toward how badly these titles deserved a do-over, or how uninteresting everything else is.
