The month starts off with a ridiculously huge assortment of new Blu-ray releases, including a Marvel blockbuster, a few critical darling Oscar nominees, and a whole heap of SteelBooks. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Thor: Ragnarok‘ – Marvel’s comic book blockbusters...

While the year had plenty of big hits, there were far more flops that made staying home the more enticing option. Because it’s always more fun to talk about the trainwrecks first,...

It flopped in theaters, but will the appeal of Scarlett Johansson in a form-fitting jumpsuit convince you to give it a try at home? If not, is baby Alec Baldwin in a business suit more your speed?...

Each of the new releases saw decent returns, but with ‘The Fate of Furious’ racing into theaters this Friday, this weekend was rather uneventful. With a $26.3...

Not only did it wildly out-gross expectations, it put down the Beast. The week’s other wide release underperformed, while each of last week’s titles stumbled during their sophomore outings. I didn’t think I’d be saying this, but the #1 movie in America is ‘The...

Ultimately, the anime redo disappoints, but not for the reasons many predicted. The movie feels dully uninspired despite some glorious wall-to-wall eye-candy.
