A whole lot of 3D releases this week, and me without my 3D tv, so I’ll have to rely on Swoon and Andrew to let me know how they are. Other than that big push for 3D, a fairly lackluster week for releases. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week   The Shawshank Redemption  **   I guess this caught me off […]

No way I was going to recommend "Grown Ups" which was a pretty painful movie IMO–and I consider myself an Adam Sandler fan. Knucklehead and Locked Down look fairly entertaining as well but I haven’t had a chance to view them yet. My heart wanted to select "Tremors" as the pick, which is one of my all time favorite gore-monster […]

Not too much to pick this week, and I apologize for being a day late on these. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week The Goonies **   Easy pick for me, since I was really unimpressed with Toy Story 3. Goonies is a classic favorite of mine growing up and really has withstood the test of time. Nothing fancy here, just […]

My heart wanted to pick the Lakers Finals movie with my pick, but alas I chose against it. The Elf collector edition looks like a lot of fun. And seeing as I could not make it through the first Sex & The City, I won’t even attempt to see the second. The Girl Who Played with Fire is the second […]

Good list of films this week. Apocalypse Now comes out with it’s 154th release (j/k), but it doesn’t make it any less of a great movie as it’s been all these years. Psycho gets itself an anniversary collector edition as well, and then some Harry Potter releases on Blu-ray as well. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Predators **   So […]

Long list of movies…probably the longest list I’ve ever posted for releases with recognizing the fewest titles. Go figure. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Hangover Extreme Edition ** This already came out on Blu-ray months ago, but in case you haven’t bought it yet, now you can get this super duper extreme version, which includes the following extras in addition […]

Not a ton of new releases this week, but lots of classics coming out with Blu-ray versions for your enjoyment. The Last of The Mohicans was a phenomenal film, as was Rocky and the Exorcist of course. New releases include the way overrated Karate Kid, which in my opinion is an awful rehash of the original. Haven’t seen Splice or […]

So this is a deal that Sony, Warner Bros and Walt Disney are talking about whereby movies would be available AFTER their theatrical release but before their On-Demand/Rental dates, and the price being thrown around is $20-$30. You read that correct, THIRTY DOLLARS! That’s more than the price of a Blu-ray disc of the same movie a few months later. […]

Solid amount of releases this week. I haven’t watched it but heard conflicting reports on Get Him to The Greek, but I rather enjoyed the character so maybe I’ll like it. Other than that, a few good releases of older movies like Nightmare Before Christmas and the original 1933 version of King Kong. My pick though? MissingRemote’s Pick of the […]

By no means does this mean that Blockbuster is no more, but it’s big news nonetheless when a corporation as large as Blockbuster announces this type of news. Hopefully they will evolve their business model and provide a better service which will save their business. The company listed assets of $1.02 billion against debt of $1.46 billion on a Chapter […]
