DVD Releases for July 8, 2008

July 7th, 2008

Another week without a first-run release that deserves serious consideration for the DVD Pick of the Week award. This means we are left looking at special editions, limited releases, and TV on DVD sets for the best of the week. Sadly there are not a lot of contenders here either. Batman Begins on Blu-ray Standard Edition or Limited Edition is certainly worth picking up, but it is mostly just a port of the HD DVD release and I was hoping for more (like having the extras in High Definition). The Monk / Psych two-pack offers two great shows for a reasonable price, but I'm not sure it's award-worthy. The best this week has to offer is Stargate Atlantis - Season Four - Buy from Amazon, and it is this week's DVD Pick of the Week. More...

Gangster's Future is Now on the Per Theater Chart

Movie Website Reviews for Weekend of November 2, 2007

November 3rd, 2007

Very Limited Releases

November 2nd, 2007

No a big list for limited releases, and its downright tiny without the trio of a Canadian films. Not only that, but none of the films opening in more than a handful of theaters with Surviving My Mother being the widest release at just four theaters. More...
