Comprehensive reviews of upcoming movies, TV shows and other programs released on standard DVD.

Up (DVD Review)

September 10, 2009

'Up' tells more story in its first 10 minutes than most films can manage in an hour-and-a-half. And from there the adventure is just getting started. (Prebook 9/15/09; Street Date 11/10/09)

Camille (DVD Review)

September 09, 2009

Unconventional, yet thoroughly entertaining chick flick. (Street Date 9/15/09)

Big Bang Theory: The Complete Second Season, The (DVD Review)

September 07, 2009

This is comedy for the Comic-Con crowd, loaded with pop-culture jokes that emphasize sci-fi, fantasy, comic books and video games. It’s as if the Trio from the sixth season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and Lt. Cmdr. Data from “Star Trek” were transplanted into a Kevin Smith movie. Those who understood that sentence will love “The Big Bang Theory.” But there’s plenty for everyone else to enjoy, too. (Street Date 9/15/09)

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (DVD Review)

September 05, 2009

'Wolverine' manages to deliver a competent, by-the-numbers action-adventure piece. Fortunately, Hugh Jackman has so made the role of Wolverine his own that he ably carries the film. (Street Date 9/15/09)

Big Pun: The Legacy (DVD Review)

September 04, 2009

'Big Pun: The Legacy' gives tribute to hip-hop artist Christopher Rios, known to most as Big Punisher. The documentary shows Pun not only as an artist but also as a family man, as told through interviews with many who knew him best. (Street Date 9/15/09)

Bedknobs and Broomsticks: Enchanted Musical Edition (DVD Review)

September 02, 2009

The biggest difference between this new DVD edition of 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' and the 2001 30th anniversary release is a special-effects featurette hosted by Jennifer Stone from Disney’s “Wizards of Waverly Place.” (There’s also a Blu-ray Disc tutorial hosted by the kids from Disney’s “The Suite Life.”) (Street Date 9/8/09)
