The Twenty-aughts are over as we celebrate the decade's best. 'Traffic' (pictured) just missed out.
Oscar is one of many courting Carey Mulligan in Lone Scherfig's "An Education." Our full review.
Nicolas Cage stars in Werner Herzog's "Bad Lieutenant" update which has 'over-the-top' written all over it. Is it though?

Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) Monster-sized week this week. A lot of essential catalog purchases. Don’t find yourself without them. Accompanying them are numerous musicals, two films starring Tony Jaa and his Muay Thai martial arts, numerous films for the month of love and of [...]

Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) “Quantity” is the key word in Blu-ray this week. Not necessarily huge titles I expect to see people beat each other down to get to this week, but the odds are increased that a title you’ve been waiting for resides [...]
19 January 2010
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) Some big titles this week. Only three newly-released films, leaving the true quality to come in the form of catalog releases, but sometimes that’s all we need to be happy. We have one of the best trilogies in existence, which [...]
12 January 2010
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) What’s this? Worthy Blu-ray releases. No foolin’. We actually have a good stash of films this week. Two are considered among the best films of 2009. One is proclaimed to be one of the true masterpieces of cinema. There are [...]
05 January 2010
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) January is typically the dumping ground for films in theaters. It appears the first Blu-ray week of the new year is taking the same approach. A small amount of titles, none being too enticing. There is a $100 million+ film [...]
29 December 2009
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) The post-Christmas Blu(e)s are in full effect, with only six new titles to bring to you, but oddly enough there are four well-known films from the past few months guaranteed to make you consider spending your hard earned cash on [...]
22 December 2009
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) Wow. Quite a dearth of titles this week. So much so that you see a Direct-to-Blu title in the headline. Of course there’s an obvious choice hovering above all BD titles this week like an alien mothership. Everything else is [...]
15 December 2009
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) It seems quality and not quantity is the name of Blu-ray game this late in the year and this week’s releases offer no exception to the rule. Two huge blockbusters from this summer, acclaimed by both critics and moviegoers, although [...]
08 December 2009
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) Did Christmas already come and go? No holiday titles this week and almost no titles at all. Small week for new BD releases, however, we are given the new Michael Mann and the new Harry Potter. Perhaps all other studios [...]
01 December 2009
Written and compiled by The Film Nest guest contributor “FightinIrish” (peep him in the Comments section) Over the past few months, studios have struck exclusive Blu-ray deals with retailers. It’s somewhat of an annoying phase, but luckily patience pays eventually. Two of those formerly exclusive title are available everywhere this week, both being classics in their [...]
