Josh Zyber — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 12:00:49 +0000

No exciting blockbusters on Blu-ray this week, sadly. The biggest release of the week was a box office bomb. The few interesting new discs available are arty or cult catalog titles. New Releases ‘Life‘ – From the generic title, this could be either a big screen spinoff of the BBC nature documentary series, an adaptation...

Weekend Roundtable: Your Happy Place

Josh Zyber — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 20:00:44 +0000

Some days, you just need to bury your head under a pillow and block the rest of the world out. Today may be one of those days. When you’re depressed or despondent and it feels like the entire world is falling apart, what movies, TV shows, games, music, etc. do you fall back on to...

Weekend Roundtable: Favorite Airplane Movies

Josh Zyber — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 19:00:45 +0000

With the true-story drama ‘Sully’ opening in theaters this week, it might perhaps be in poor taste to do a Roundtable about favorite plane crash scenes in movies. Let’s broaden the topic out a bit to cover any movie either set on an airplane or containing important scenes/storylines involving planes. M. Enois Duarte I don’t...

Josh Zyber — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:00:00 +0000

In this week’s Roundtable, let’s look back in time a little and mark some milestones. What was the best movie released the year you were born? This may or may not happen to be the film that won the Oscar that year, but we’re really interested in movies from your birth year that you’ve actually...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 6th, 2013 – Hey Nonny, Nonny

Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 13:00:13 +0000

It’s a battle of the bombs on Blu-ray this week, as two of the most critically and audience reviled films of the year come to home video. If we take a closer look, however, we might also find a few titles actually worth buying. New Releases M. Night Shyamalan is the king of second chances....

Blu-ray Highlights for September 11th, 2012 – Whistle While You Work

Josh Zyber — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:00:39 +0000

Eleven years later, and this date still feels uncomfortable to write, especially when it falls on a Tuesday. How many years’ distance will it take before we’ve fully moved on, and Hollywood can go about its business of producing an overblown epic disaster movie about a pair of star-crossed lovers (one in each of the...

Blu-ray Highlights for 9/27/11 – Shirley, You Can’t Be Serious

Josh Zyber — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 13:00:38 +0000

After three very expensive weeks in a row, the Blu-ray release schedule takes a bit of a breather this week before gearing up for the next barrage in October. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth buying, of course. The studios have rolled out a bunch of interesting catalog titles, including some great classic comedies. Here’s...

The Netflix Stream: Week of September 4th, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:00:30 +0000

This week, I’m going to switch things up a bit with this feature. I’ll still be talking about movies that are leaving the Netflix stream, but since Netflix has been pretty tight-lipped about exactly what new is on the way, I’ll highlight some recently-available movies instead. Leaving the Stream ‘Cherry 2000’ (9/15): I first saw...
