We have another week without any huge hits, if that’s the sort of thing you focus on when shopping for Blu-rays. Fortunately, a few interesting titles find their way onto store shelves.

With Oscar nomination announcements around the corner and accolades being given daily, we’re smack in the middle of an odd season.

‘Inherent Vice’ Review: A Hazy Noir Masterpiece

Philip Brown — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 20:00:29 +0000

Set in early 1970s Los Angeles and very much indebted to the auteur-driven masterpieces that came out of Hollywood in that era, ‘Inherent Vice’ is a stoner detective art film. You might even be tempted to call it the first of its kind, were it not for the fact that Robert Altman’s ‘The Long Goodbye’...

Weekend Box Office: Audiences Get Out for ‘Exodus’

Luke Hickman — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:00:09 +0000

Despite featuring a new blockbuster, this was yet another disappointing weekend at the box office, and points to to a grim outlook for the final month of the year. As expected, Ridley Scott’s ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings‘ took the top spot, but with a less-than-impressive debut. The Biblical epic only earned $24.5 million from more...

Twelve days into the lucrative month and we’re just now getting our first December blockbuster. The question is: How will this end-of-year Biblical epic stack up to 2014’s first, Darren Aronofsky’s wild and out there ‘Noah’? Every few years, Ridley Scott – sorry, Sir Ridley Scott – has to put out a grand scale epic...

When December comes around, the studios start rolling out their big awards hopefuls for the season. Whether any of these movies actually win Oscars or not, they might be worth watching. ‘Wild’ (Dec. 5) Reese Witherspoon is shooting for another Best Actress trophy with a traveling-to-find-one’s-self movie. In ‘Wild’, she plays a woman whose life...
