DVD and Blu-ray Releases for February 2nd, 2010

February 2nd, 2010

It's still a slow time of year for home market releases. It's too late for the Christmas shopping rush, while it is still too early for Awards Season releases to come out. There are a few limited releases, direct-to-DVD releases, TV on DVD releases, and catalogue titles that are of interest, but the best of the best is Zombieland. While both formats are worth checking out, the Blu-ray is the Pick of the Week. More...

Limited Releases Could have a Devil of a Time

October 30th, 2009

The list of limited releases is rather mixed this week with four films, half of which are earning great reviews, while the other half are... not. Two films are earning reviews that suggest it will have a solid shot at significant expansion, while the other half are earning reviews that are so bad that it suggests the films will not even please most genre fans. It will be interesting to see if the good reviews can help these two film thrive, or whether the bad reviews will be enough to sink the other two films. More...
