Miley Cyrus is all grown up and making a romance. Of course, it’s a predictably cliché romance, but will fans care?
Brad Pitt brings the creepy in Dominic Sena’s dark tale of a road trip that takes a turn for the worst.
MGM has tendered Bull Durham up to the big leagues (HD), but from what we’ve seen and heard, it needs to get bumped back down. More fittingly, a special edition DVD is included here as well.
A delicious bit of escapist cinema, this "futuristic" adventure still plays remarkably well, but all of the extras seem to have flown the coop.
This spin-off of the sci-fi franchise is stellar, but fans might feel shortchanged by the split season package.
Japanese jazz vocalist Hiromi Kanda transforms classic jazz standards with her own unique interpretations as well as two original songs. Solid vocals and top notch visuals make this a unique find for the jazz fan looking for something old, new, borrowed and blu.
"It’s not a DVD, it’s a Blu-ray!" Although the sound in particular might seem a little wimpy, this three-disc set does enable us (and our kids) to watch the family comedy pretty much anytime, anywhere.
We’ll avoid any obvious and unnecessarily harsh jokes at the expense of the movie (and its viewers), but with a title like that, the news about the Blu-ray can’t be particularly good.
The image is lacking on this Collector’s Edition, but the true tale is a must-buy for martial-arts fans.
