DVD and Blu-ray Releases for May 1st, 2012

May 1st, 2012

It's yet another very slow week on the home market. In fact, all of May is very slow on the home market, although this is not surprising for this time of year. I'm not even going to attempt to pad out the list this week. Is there anything in contention for Pick of the Week? Fortunately, the answer to that is yes. Unfortunately, the screener is late. Normally I really don't like awarding Pick of the Week to a film when the screener is late, but in this case, Haywire is head and shoulders above the rest, so unless the Blu-ray has less than zero special features, it's the best out there.

Featured Blu-ray Review: Clueless

April 30th, 2012

Clueless came out in 1995 and was a huge hit, given the size of its budget. It also helped create a number of careers for several of the young actors involved. However, it is now nearly 20 years old, and films aimed at teenagers, especially those with emphasis in music and fashion, tend to age poorly. Does this feel like a product of the 90s? Or does it still work today? More...
