Auto-save functionality is something we’ve come to take for granted in videogames these days. It’s right up there with moving the analog stick to run rather than holding a button, or being able to move and shoot. But i...
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...
