Synopsis

Bjørn Lomborg is the founder and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, a think tank that brings together economists to prioritize major global problems—among them malaria, the lack of potable water and HIV/AIDS—based upon a cost/benefit analysis of available solutions. Amidst the strong and polarized opinions within the global warming debate, this film follows Lomborg on his mission to bring the smartest solutions to climate change, environmental pollution, and other major problems in the world.

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for March 29th, 2011

March 30th, 2011

It's a very busy week for DVD and Blu-ray releases with several top-tier releases, as well as plenty of interesting catalog titles. Paradoxically, this week's list could be rather short, as I've previously reviewed most of the major releases, while I'm still waiting on about half of the catalog titles to show up. So this week's list is mostly just links to the reviews already done and notices of what reviews to look forward to if / when late screeners arrive. In the meantime, the best of the best is a three-horse race between Tangled, Black Swan, and Mad Men: Season Four. All three are absolutely worth picking up, but for Pick of the Week I'm going with the Mad Men: Season Four on Blu-ray. More...

It was a close race for the top of the per theater chart with Tiny Furniture coming out on top with $21,235 in its lone theater. Second place went to 127 Hours with an average of $19,934 in 22 theaters. This bodes well for its chances of expanding. More...

Tiny List of Limited Releases

November 12th, 2010

There are not a lot of limited releases that we have solid theater counts for, plus a couple others where the distributors haven't sent in that information. Of the four, only one, Cool It, it opening in more than one theater. However, it is also earning weak reviews. The best film according to Rotten Tomatoes is Disco and Atmoic War, while Tiny Furniture has the best shot and finding an audience. More...
