Well, they all can't be winners. Check out our latest reviews of this week's new theatrical releases before you make plans to see a flick this weekend: The Internship - while this isn't a laugh-out-loud comedy or a heartfelt drama, it delivers a few chuckles; The Purge - the characters constantly make some of the dumbest decisions you'll ever witness on the big screen and leave viewers with a disappointing home invasion flick; Rapture-Palooza - even the charming talents of Anna Kendrick and Craig Robinson aren't able to save this comedy; and V/H/S/2 - currently available on VOD and in limited release soon, the problem with this anthology film is that none of the entries are genuinely scary. Other recent films include: After Earth, The East (2013), Fast & Furious 6, The Hangover Part III, Epic, Star Trek Into Darkness, and The Great Gatsby. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: I Was a Communist for the FBI -Here it is, ground zero for anticommunist propaganda pictures. Matt Cvetic's tales of defeating commies by going undercover into their nefarious cells makes for an exciting drama; Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume 7 - four more Pre-code winners: Edward G. Robinson in the fascinating The Hatchet Man, Skyscraper Souls, Employees' Entrance, and Bette Davis experiments with both shacking up and open marriage in the stylish Ex-Lady; and Philadelphia - Jonathan Demme promotes a sane reaction to the AIDS epidemic -- a 'safe' movie but a necessary one. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Some pretty cool discs are being released this week. Check out these new titles: Warm Bodies [review] - Jonathan Levine's zombie-love story manages to integrate comedy, action and a lot of style to craft a fun flick with genuine universal appeal; Electra Glide in Blue [review] - tense, intelligent, well made and entertaining, this picture is one of most unconventional cop films of the seventies; and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry / Race With The Devil [review] - Two Peter Fonda flicks... throw in some Warren Oates, dirt bikes, Satanists, Susan George, a giant RV and some muscle cars and you're in for what Shout! Factory aptly describes as an Action-Packed Double Feature! Be sure to check out our DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.
