What an easy week to decide which new releases is the most anticipated as 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' finally goes Blu. Although that is the biggest title, Paramount didn't stop there as it released the second season of the hot TV show 'Dexter' as well as some all time classics like ...

It's a slow week for blockbuster new releases, but it's a big week for catalog titles. So rather than focus on the new day-and-date movies like 'Splinter,' we will take a look at the awaited older titles. One that we really enjoyed the first time around is '8 Mile,' but there is also 'Mean Girls' as ...

There's little doubt that the best title this week is 'Slumdog Miliionaire,' after all it did winner Best Picture. But this is also a week of classics -- and we aren't using that word loosely here either -- as Fox has 'South Pacific' (1958) and Warner has 'Gigi' (1958) and 'An American in Paris' ...

We like weeks like this when there is little doubt what the biggest title is. In fact we'd go as far as to call this the James Bond week with MGM releasing the latest addition to the franchise with the 'Quantum of Solace,' as well as some of our favorite classics like 'Goldfinger 'and 'The World Is ...

Just as expected, things are starting to turn around already and movies worth seeing are once again hitting the shelves. First up is 'Transporter 3.' We don't expect it to be the best movie ever, but it should be entertaining. Next up is another title from Disney's vault, 'Pinocchio' -- which should ...

It never fails, one of the first thing just about every new HDTV owners asks is; why are there black bars on my new widescreen TV? And this is the reason why just about every HD discussion forum has a sticked thread at the top of the forums explaining why this still happens. So in this addition of ...

Just when we thought there wasn't another comic book movie this holiday season until 'The Dark Knight,' along comes 'Hellboy,' which we somehow forgot about. It's available both in regular and extra geeky, the latter will set you back another $20, but while both include a digital copy, only the ...

This could be the weirdest week of releases we've seen to date, because there are like 20 titles released (15 mentioned below) but not one that we are really interested in. If you can't wait for Christmas movies, then Warner has 'Elf' and the 'Essential Holiday Collection' which also includes 'Elf' ...

Evidently as much as MSNBC wanted to go HD in time for the big election push, it just didn't get done. We'd like to think that the fact that MSNBC isn't presented in HD is the reasons why it's behind both CNN and Fox News in ratings -- which have both been HD for some time -- but it's probably the ...

The fourth quarter continues to hit on all cylinders for Blu-ray this week with yet another nice slate of titles. At the top of the list is two pretty good movies, 'Sweeney Todd' and 'The Incredible Hulk.' When Johnny Depp stars in a Tim Burton flick, it is almost always worth the cost of admission ...
