DVD and Blu-ray Releases for March 8th, 2011

March 7th, 2011

Another incredibly slow week with very few releases that could be considered top tier. None of the first-run releases are really worth picking up for most people, but there are a couple smaller releases that are contenders for Pick of the Week. This includes Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XX, but in the end I gave that honor to Inside Job on either DVD or Blu-ray. More...

Featured Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack Review: Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie

March 4th, 2011

VeggieTales is a direct-to-DVD franchise that first started in 1993. That's so old it started direct-to-video. Over the years, the franchise produced dozens of releases aimed at Christian families and did so well that in 2002 a feature-length theatrical movie was made. That movie was Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. It was only a minor hit (for many years, it was the lowest grossing digitally animated film, but it did earn back more than it cost to make and advertise so you can call it a success.) Now, nearly a decade later, it is making its debut on Blu-ray. Does the film still work all these years later? Is the animation too archaic to handle? Does the Blu-ray do the film justice? More...
