Josh Zyber — Mon, 27 Aug 2018 12:00:40 +0000

Weeks like this are exhausting. I spent hours cleaning up our site’s Blu-ray disc listings for the huge volume of releases this week, and then putting together the poll and writing summaries of notable titles for this post, and at the end of it, honestly, I don’t see much I’d personally want to spend money...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 13th, 2017 – Thou Shalt Not Covenant (or Shalt Thou?)

Josh Zyber — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 12:00:52 +0000

New Blu-rays this week are inundated with terrifying bloody carnage, soapy teen romance, and drunken clowns. Geez, sounds like my seventh birthday party all over again. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Alien: Covenant‘ – The trailers for Ridley Scott’s new xenomorph splatterfest all made it look like a shameless retread of the original ‘Alien’ movie. Depending on...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 12:00:05 +0000

This is a good week to be a fan of cult movies from the 1980s. It’s also a good week to be a fan of terrible animated movies based on videogames, but I assume that fewer of you will want to admit that. New Releases ‘The Angry Birds Movie‘ – We’ve really come to this?...

Weekend Roundtable: TV Shows That Outstayed Their Welcome

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 19:00:30 +0000

Recent news that behind-the-scenes turmoil at ABC’s long-running ‘Castle’ will result in one of the co-leads exiting the series begs the question: How is ‘Castle’ even still on the air? Once a fairly amusing riff on the crime procedural genre, the show ran out of steam a long time ago and has been coasting for...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 16th, 2015 – A-hyuck!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:00:00 +0000

When the biggest and most enticing Blu-ray release of the week is a collection of short films – some of them even rather old… well, gawrsh! That says somethin’, don’t it? New Releases ‘Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Film Collection‘ – Considering the success Disney had selling the two dedicated collections of Pixar shorts, I’m...

Are we really so far into the summer that the season’s big tentpole releases are already hitting Blu-ray? This week brings us a huge blockbuster that made tons of money a few months ago, even though hardly anyone who saw it would claim to actually like it. New Releases ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘ – In...

Forget anything else being released this week, the one and only, original 1979 ‘The Muppet Movie’ is finally available on Blu-ray, and there’s only one thing to say about that. OK, fine. Other stuff comes out this week too, and I suppose we should talk about it. New Releases By most accounts, ‘Olympus Has Fallen‘...

Josh Zyber — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 13:00:42 +0000

This week, one of the biggest box office flops of the year makes its way to Blu-ray. If you didn’t feel that the movie was worth paying to see in theaters, are you more likely to pay to see it at home? New Releases Poor Taylor Kitsch is having a pretty crappy summer. This was...

‘Once Upon a Time’ Pilot Recap: Oh God, Please Make It Stop!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:00:46 +0000

That headline above isn’t a line of dialogue from the episode. No, that’s just me begging for mercy while watching the premiere of ABC’s new fairy tale… thing, whatever it is… ‘Once Upon a Time’. Needless to say, I’m not a fan. The premise of the show, as much as I can understand it, divides...
