Last week was a pretty stressful time in world events, particularly for those of us who live in Boston. (Rest assured, everything is fine at the Zyber household.) Now we must attempt to return to some sense of normalcy, which for this site means taking a look at this week’s new Blu-ray releases. To that...

The Trailer Park: The Weird & the Beautiful

M. Enois Duarte — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:00:11 +0000

This week’s batch of trailers features a trio of movies that look both pretty and strange. ‘Laurence Anyways’ Gus Van Sant serves as producer to a film that feels very much like a Gus Van Sant movie, but actually comes from Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan. I’m partly interested because the preview functions weirdly like a...

New Year’s Weekend Movies: Oh Frack…

Luke Hickman — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:00:29 +0000

This week, three new movies opened on Christmas Day: ‘Django Unchained’, ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘Parental Guidance’. The first two performed very well on Christmas, so don’t expect any of today’s small releases to put up much competition. The big films will certainly hog all the box office revenue. The widest new debut this weekend is...

Blu-ray Highlights for 11/8/11 – It’s a Strange World

Josh Zyber — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:00:24 +0000

At first glance, the week’s Blu-ray release schedule may appear to be dominated by the final adventure of a certain boy wizard. No doubt, young Mr. Potter will cast another spell and tear up the sales charts. However, if you dig a little beneath the surface, you’ll find a good selection of other important titles...

Weekend Roundtable: Best and Worst Remakes

Josh Zyber — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:00:04 +0000

With this week’s Blu-ray release of the big-budget, really terrible ‘Clash of the Titans‘, we’ve got remakes on the mind here at The Bonus View. Along with sequels, this seems to be about all that Hollywood is interested in making these days. Unfortunately, most of them are pretty awful. However, every once in a while,...
