Just a couple of weeks ago, I was saying that the Oscar race had been pretty much wrapped up. Based on the nearly unanimous critics’ awards and Top 10 lists, as well as the about-to-be-revealed Academy Award nominations, I t...
This first day of February brings us an eclectic slate of new Blu-ray releases. We’ve got remakes, classic animation, and some of this past year’s most overlooked films. Let’s see what might be worth buying, shal...
