New on Disc: Bruce Lee Fights its Way to the Top
July 14th, 2020
It is a deceptively slow week for DVDs and Blu-rays, with only five major new releases. However, while there are few releases compared to historical norms, and none of them are poised to be massive hits on the home market, all five are worth picking up and two are contenders for Pick of the Week. Those are from Criterion Collection: Bruce Lee: His Greatest Hits (Blu-ray) and The Lady Eve (Blu-ray). Both are worthy contenders, but while I went with the Bruce Lee box set, its price might scare away some potential customers.

Home Market Releases for January 9th, 2018
January 9th, 2018
Usually this is a terrible time of year on the home market, because it is too late for the summer blockbusters, but too early for the holiday hits. However, the home market is terrible this week, because It comes out and it destroyed records at the box office and is scaring away nearly all of the competition. Fortunately, its reviews were very good, so it is a contender for Pick of the Week. Its main competition are two classics, Inherit the Wind and Young Mr. Lincoln. All three are worth picking up, but I’m giving the title to It, because of its wider appeal.
