DVD and Blu-ray Releases for August 7th, 2012

August 7th, 2012

This is not a really slow week on the home market this week, as we have The Lorax coming out, and it was the highest-grossing animated film of the year, until Brave overtook is very recently, so it should be a big seller on the home market. Unfortunately, it is the only major release of the week. There are some other releases worth checking out, a few worth picking up, but very few that are contenders for Pick of the Week. High Fidelity is a great movie, but its Blu-ray debut is Shovelware. Personally, I think Spaceballs is really underrated, but this is not the first time it has been released on Blu-ray and double-dips are rarely Pick of the Week material. In the end, I'm going with My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: Royal Pony Wedding, because I liked the first DVD release more than I thought I would. More...

Featured Blu-ray Review: Grosse Point Blank

August 4th, 2012

Grosse Point Blank was a minor hit when it came out in theaters in 1997. It only managed fourth place during its opening weekend, but it did manage to nearly double its production budget at the box office, so the studio likely broke even sometime during its home market run. This week it is making its Blu-ray debut, but is the movie still worth checking out 15 years later? And is the Blu-ray worth picking up? More...
