The big release this week is Baz Luhrmann's adaptaion of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. DVDTalk reviewer Jeff Nelson thought that Leonardo DiCaprio's performance makes the movie worth checking out on the big screen while Jamie S. Rich found very little to compliment.

Other recent films include: Iron Man 3, Pain & Gain, Oblivion, Graceland, 42, and Simon Killer. . Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.
