DVD and Blu-ray Releases for June 5th, 2012

June 5th, 2012

While summer is usually the slowest time of the year on the home market, this week is fantastic with a lot of prime releases, including first-run, TV on DVD releases, classics and limited releases. Unfortunately, the largest single category is, "Screener is Late". You will see that phrase countless times on this list. (Perhaps it's because last week was a short week due to Memorial Day.) It is especially hard to select a Pick of the Week, because I don't like handing out that title when the screener is late. There are a few likely candidates, including Burn Notice: The Complete Fifth Season, Yellow Submarine on Blu-ray, but I went with Tomboy on DVD. More...

Featured DVD Review: House of Yes

June 3rd, 2012

House of Yes was an odd film, even for an Indie. It was writer / director Mark Waters' first film, but he had an impressive cast, including Parker Posey at the height of her Indie Cred. It opened with a strong per theater average, but couldn't maintain it, as it expanded. Was it too odd to survive even on the art house circuit? Or should it have found a wider audience? More...
