Josh Zyber — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 12:00:14 +0000

One of the biggest movies of the year hits home video this week. It also happens to be one of the worst reviewed and most widely disliked. Will that stop it from racking up huge sales on Blu-ray and DVD? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of...

Weekend Roundtable: Superheroes Who Deserve Better Movies

Josh Zyber — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 19:00:50 +0000

As of this weekend, we’re already on our second movie iteration of the ‘Fantastic Four’ (third if you count the unreleased Roger Corman cheapie), and it seems like the popular comic book team still hasn’t been done proper justice. In the midst of our current superhero renaissance, what other characters really deserve better treatment than...

Poll: The First ‘Batman v. Superman’ Trailer

Josh Zyber — Tue, 21 Apr 2015 16:00:38 +0000

You told us what you think of the new ‘Star Wars’ trailer. How does the first ‘Batman v. Superman’ teaser look to you? From what I can determine, the general consensus among those in my online circles has been that people are much more excited about ‘The Force Awakens’ than about the awkwardly-titled ‘Batman v....

Poll: Is Zack Snyder the Right Director for the ‘Justice League’ Movie?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:00:56 +0000

Earlier this week, Warner Bros. announced that, despite speculation involving several other potential names (including new Batman star Ben Affleck), the upcoming ‘Justice League’ team-up movie will be directed by Zack Snyder. Is this a good decision? Tell us your opinion. In a lot of ways, this only makes sense. Snyder of course directed the...

WBShop Now a Division of LexCorp, Apparently

Luke Hickman — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 16:00:28 +0000

I consider myself a collector, but I’m not an obsessive collector. I don’t feel the need to collect everything associated with something that I love. I’m a specific collector. For example, I love SteelBook packaging, but I don’t buy every movie that’s given a SteelBook Blu-ray release. If I love a movie, I’ll fork out...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:00:46 +0000

Do you remember the days when the only place to find a costumed superhero was in the pages of a comic book, or maybe a Saturday morning cartoon? Nowadays, superheroes are everywhere, dominating our movie theater screens, TV programming schedules and, of course, our top Blu-ray release of the week. New Releases Considering that he’s...

Full Metal Jackets: Faster Than a Speeding Bullet

Josh Zyber — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:00:16 +0000

This one’s a gimme. I don’t imagine that it will surprise too many metal case collectors to hear that the summer blockbuster ‘Man of Steel’ will be made available on Blu-ray in SteelBook packaging. After all, the movie has “steel” right in the title! Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot received mixed response from both viewers and...

At the San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, director Zack Snyder announced that his follow-up to this summer’s successful ‘Man of Steel’ will not be ‘Man of Steel 2’, but rather a Superman/Batman team-up movie. Are you excited for this, or does the news leave you apprehensive? Beyond the fact that this project is in...

Weekend Box Office: Bringing Down the ‘House’

Luke Hickman — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 16:00:22 +0000

With only an R-rated comedy and a stupid action movie as new competition, it’s probably no surprise that ‘Monsters University’ held onto the top box office spot for its second weekend in a row. With $46.1 million more to its haul, the 3D family flick’s ten-day domestic earnings stand at $171 million. Worldwide, it’s already...
