Tag: High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)

Wow, after a couple weeks of lots to choose from we have super slim pickings this week. Cars and The Incredibles are of course classics. And besides the pick of the week, I don’t even think I have heard of the others. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week   Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 ** (April 15th Release […]

You’ve all been making me more and more nervous with my picks, so I hope to redeem myself this week. Taxi Driver is an all time classic with Robert Deniro as a crazy cabbie. Besides that, it pretty much came down to some new releases. Little Fockers was more entertaining than I had anticipated, but it lost out simply due […]

A lot of Blu-ray releases this week, but I didn’t see much stand out. Well, that is besides “Battle of Los Angeles.” But worry not, the studios have not gone mad, this is not the one still in theaters but instead is a low budget copy cat garbage film. How they get away with things like that are beyond me. […]

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’re in luck this week. Also, if you’re a fan of movies that include monsters created by combining an Octopus and a Shark, then you’re also in luck–and a bit odd. But for most, our pick of the week will be everyone’s. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week  The Fighter Full disclosure, I’m a huge […]

This was too funny not to post. I’m not sure if my busy schedule has a single thing to do with my ability to purchase movies…Netflix seems to be doing ok right? When asked by Rose if home video or disc consumption was dead, Iger said the market was not finished, but rather ‘just not as healthy as it was’. […]

It’s a good week for documentaries, as Inside Job and Exit Through The Gift Shop were both Oscar nominees this year. Besides that nothing major released…another Excalibur film which I haven’t seen. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week  The Walking Dead: Season One Even if there were some more blockbusters released this week there’s not much that would have beaten out […]

Can you believe it’s March already? Well some cool movies here. I was really tempted to pick 127 Hours as my pick of the week given all the rave reviews I’ve read about it, but having not seen it yet just didn’t feel bad. You have to really like Johnny Depp to invest in a 7-disc set of the Pirates […]

We don’t often post a press release, but this one was too juicy not to post given the last couple years the MPAA has been complaining about how piracy, Netflix and all things digital are tearing them down. The report shows that global box office receipts for all films released around the world reached an all time high of $31.8 […]

Another so-so week of releases, although a fair amount of TV series are out, such as one of my favorites–Weeds, Season 6–which although has diminished a bit it’s still quite entertaining. Get Low was a pretty good drama/comedy as well, about an old hermit who decides to have a funeral party while he’s still alive–good laughs with of course some […]
