It's a deceptively slow week; while there are plenty of releases, many of them are totally unnoteworthy and that makes finding the exceptions harder to find. There are some really stellar releases including this week's DVD Pick of the Week, NewsRadio - The Complete Third Season - Buy from Amazon, while both Controversial Classics - Volume 2 - The Power of Media - Buy from Amazon and The Ice Harvest - Buy from Amazon earn honorable mentions.

Of the five limited releases, only one of them was able to earn overall positive reviews this weekend.
Add in three wide releases with negative reviews, and the weekend is one for eight.
So much for the power of award season.
