A couple weeks ago, I ran a post referencing over to an article about the 20 most common home theater mistakes and how to fix them. Now, my friend and former DVDTalk colleague Jason has written his own list of suggestions called &...
What does it say about the week’s new Blu-ray release slate that the biggest movie on the list acknowledges right in the title that it’s about a bunch of losers? It doesn’t bode well, I’ll tell you that. Fo...
Remember how great ‘Alias’ used to be? You know, during its first couple of seasons, before it fell to crap in the later years. The producers of USA’s new spy series ‘Covert Affairs’ sure do. The show...
As far as newly-premiering shows go, the summer TV season has been kind of a bust so far. Two series that I thought looked promising, ‘The Good Guys‘ and ‘Scoundrels‘, haven’t lived up to their potent...
This week’s Roundtable topic was suggested by site editor Mike Attebery, who will be joining us as a guest blogger. These days, it seems like all Hollywood produces anymore are sequels and remakes. Some of them are good, but...

To our female readers out there (And yes, I know that we have some – Hi, Junie!), if you aren’t already familiar with it, allow me to introduce you to the concept of “fan service.” The term derives from anime cir...
Under normal circumstances, I buy most of my Blu-ray discs from Amazon. The retailer usually has some of the best discounts on the web, and shipping is free with Prime membership. It’s a good deal. However, Blu-ray fans may ...
The season premiere of ‘Rescue Me’ a couple weeks ago was a pretty somber affair. As I commented in my last recap, the episode lacked the bracing humor that the show is known for, or much of the camaraderie and interac...
This is a pretty slow week on the Blu-ray front. The biggest day & date title is kind of terrible. Fortunately, there are a couple of more interesting art house pictures, and a decent catalog title or two to catch up with. Le...
