It’s February, and Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly. Love and romance are in the air. Oddly, the Blu-ray release schedule is loaded up with lovey-dovey movies this week, and basically none on Valentine’s Day ...

Credit where it’s due, this week’s Roundtable topic was inspired by science fiction author John Scalzi (‘Old Man’s War’). Scalzi has recently blogged about directors who’ve had unexpected succes...
