Weekend Roundtable: Favorite Movie Car Chases

Most weeks, I try to draw inspiration for our Roundtable topics from whatever new movie releases are playing in theaters.

Packaging special edition Blu-rays isn’t easy for movie studios, especially in these challenging economic times.

First is the question of weighing a title’s bang-for-the-buck quotient....
