Josh Zyber — Mon, 13 May 2019 12:00:06 +0000

On a week when the biggest Blu-ray releases are a horror sequel, yet another Liam Neeson revenge thriller, and a handful of 4k upgrades for old movies, I feel like we’ve been through all this before.

Blu-ray Highlights for 2/28/12 – Slow Going This Week

Josh Zyber — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:00:51 +0000

Wow, this is a very slow week for new Blu-ray releases. Like, ridiculously slow, even for this time of year. Only one major title will hit store shelves today. While some of the catalog titles look interesting to me, I doubt that any of them will be big sellers. I suppose our wallets needed a...
