Josh Zyber — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 12:00:57 +0000

Marvel’s first female-led superhero blockbuster comes home to Blu-ray and Ultra HD this week, just in time to temper everyone’s disappointment over how the second one turned out. That “second one” being Dark Phoenix, which may not be part of the MCU but is still a Marvel production, and hasn’t been received very well so...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of June 10th, 2018 – Raiding the Coffers

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 12:00:51 +0000

Why studios keep spending tons of money to make movies based on video games when so few of them have been successful is one of those mysteries of Hollywood that may never make sense. Nevertheless, they keep coming. One from this spring leads the pack of new Blu-rays this week. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Tomb Raider‘...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 7th, 2017 – Throwing Shade

Josh Zyber — Mon, 08 May 2017 12:00:18 +0000

The Blu-ray scene looks awfully dark this week. The release calendar is kind of slim and the biggest title of the week is a sequel nobody wanted. If you’re hoping to find something worth buying, you’ll have to dig a little. Let’s see what we can find. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Fifty Shades Darker‘ – The...

The great ship known as America may be sinking, but the band on deck continues to play. Hollywood’s award season must roll on.

Weekend Roundtable: Current TV Shows You’ve Given Up On

Josh Zyber — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:00:37 +0000

Breaking up with a TV show you used to enjoy can be difficult. Once you’ve spent a few years of commitment in it, you may not even want to admit that the relationship is ending. Unfortunately, some shows (even those that started out great) just stay on the air too long, and either slowly deteriorate...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 15th, 2016 – Burn Her Anyway!

Josh Zyber — Mon, 16 May 2016 11:30:09 +0000

There are ways of telling which Blu-ray this week is the most promising. Logically, if the disc weighs the same as a duck, it’s made of wood. And therefore, it must be… New Releases (Blu-Ray) ‘The Witch‘ – This period horror thriller about a Puritan family tormented by what they believe is a supernatural menace...

2016 SAG Award Winners

Josh Zyber — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 14:00:56 +0000

In most years, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are considered a predictor for the Oscars. In light of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, however, voters for the Saggies (that’s not actually what the trophies are called, but it should be) made a point of distancing themselves from this year’s Oscar nominations. I don’t say that to diminish...

Poll: Favorite Netflix Original Series

Josh Zyber — Wed, 06 Jan 2016 13:00:29 +0000

After years of resisting, I’ve finally broken down and subscribed to Netflix. This leaves me with a lot of original programming to catch up on. Where should I start? What are your favorite Netflix original series? Yes, I realize that I’m very late to the game with this. Everybody and their grandmother has been watching...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 17th, 2015 – Rubber Baby, Buggy Bumpers

Josh Zyber — Mon, 18 May 2015 12:00:33 +0000

Will the heightened clarity of Blu-ray only serve to make Bradley Cooper’s ridiculous doll baby even more distracting? That’s one of the questions posed by this week’s batch of new titles on the format. New Releases ‘American Sniper‘ – By most accounts, Clint Eastwood redeemed himself from the late career slump that culminated in his...

Statuesque: 2015 Golden Globe Predictions – Televison

Shannon Nutt — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:00:43 +0000

A couple days ago, I gave my predictions for the movie categories at this year’s Golden Globes. Now it’s time to cover the major TV awards. Once again, these predictions are not what I would personally choose if I had a vote, but rather what I feel is most likely to win come Sunday night....

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 11th, 2014 – That’s Not a Knoife

Josh Zyber — Mon, 12 May 2014 13:00:14 +0000

I don’t know about you, but my Mother’s Day was pretty busy this year – what with motherhood being a more immediately relevant and pressing issue in my household now. I feel like this should be an official work holiday and a long weekend, if only so that dads can have extra time to catch...

Poll: Will You Cancel Netflix Due to the Rate Hike?

Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:00:02 +0000

Earlier this week, Netflix announced that it will increase the price of its streaming video service by “one or two dollars a month” within the next few months in order to support its development of original content such as ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Orange Is the New Black’. Does this upset you enough to cancel...
