Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 17th, 2015 – Rubber Baby, Buggy Bumpers

Josh Zyber — Mon, 18 May 2015 12:00:33 +0000

Will the heightened clarity of Blu-ray only serve to make Bradley Cooper’s ridiculous doll baby even more distracting? That’s one of the questions posed by this week’s batch of new titles on the format. New Releases ‘American Sniper‘ – By most accounts, Clint Eastwood redeemed himself from the late career slump that culminated in his...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:00:26 +0000

January may be a dumping ground for castoff bad movies in theaters, but it actually hits a sweet spot where some of last fall’s biggest films hit home video. This week’s Blu-rays include a smash hit and potential Oscar candidate. And some crap too, no doubt. There’s always plenty of crap to go around. New...

Are we really so far into the summer that the season’s big tentpole releases are already hitting Blu-ray? This week brings us a huge blockbuster that made tons of money a few months ago, even though hardly anyone who saw it would claim to actually like it. New Releases ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘ – In...

Spike’s Idiot Box: A “Harrow”-ing Finale

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 20:00:40 +0000

A lot of television shows took a brief hiatus during Thanksgiving week, allowing Americans to spend a bit more quality time with their loved ones to feast, to fight their way through the crass, vulgar mayhem known as Black Friday, and to clear the backlog of their overburdened DVRs. I have a lot to be...

Spike’s Idiot Box: Down but Not Out

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:00:01 +0000

I’ve been a huge fan of AMC’s ‘The Killing’, which was canceled twice, breaking my heart both times. So I was euphoric when I learned this week that Netflix has picked the series up for yet another final season. I’m quite excited for the show’s return, the date of which is currently unknown. In the...

Spike’s Idiot Box: There’s No Place Like ‘Homeland’

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:00:28 +0000

My DVR has been working overtime lately. It seems like just about every current show is pumping out new episodes. I’m almost looking forward to the holidays and reruns, just so that I can ease up a little. I keep threatening to cut a lot of shows out of my watch list, but somehow that...

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:00:51 +0000

What’s obsessing me in TV this week? Let’s fire up the old Idiot Box to find out. HBO’s ‘Boardwalk Empire‘ is still one of the finest dramas on television. This season, Eli’s son Willie dropped out of college after his involvement in a tragic killing. Nucky and Eli are at odds over the best course...

‘Boardwalk Empire’ Contest Results

Josh Zyber — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:00:45 +0000

Turnout for last week’s contest was a little light. I felt like we had a pretty good prize. Did I stump you with my choice of photos to caption, or were people simply unfamiliar with ‘Boardwalk Empire’ and didn’t want to jump into the middle of a series at the third season? The good news...

Hey, kids, you wanna hear a scary story? Somebody out there keeps making ‘Scary Movie’ movies, and they just keep getting worse and worse. AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! New Releases That a ‘Scary Movie 5‘ exists at all makes me question whether anyone in Hollywood still has functioning brain cells. That it stars washed-up burnouts Charlie Sheen and...

Blu-ray Highlights for August 28th, 2012 – Miss!

Josh Zyber — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:00:42 +0000

This week, one of the biggest box office flops of the year makes its way to Blu-ray. If you didn’t feel that the movie was worth paying to see in theaters, are you more likely to pay to see it at home? New Releases Poor Taylor Kitsch is having a pretty crappy summer. This was...
