Before you head off to the cinema this weekend, check out DVDTalk's reviews of the latest releases including: The Conjuring - for those who are searching for the "creep factor" that horror flicks have been lacking lately, this film comes highly recommended and Only God Forgives - unfortunately, this film with impeccable visuals and some cool concepts is a bit of a letdown. Other recent films include: Pacific Rim, The Lone Ranger , Despicable Me 2, The Way, Way Back, Monsters University, World War Z, Much Ado About Nothing, and Man of Steel. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

Some great TV shows have made their way onto DVD this week including: The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis - The Complete Series - this classic 50's sitcom is pleasant and funny and still holds up on many levels; Masterpiece Mystery: Inspector Lewis Season Six - a fine entry into the long line of excellent British crime dramas; and Portlandia Season 3 - funny and charming, this show remains delightful in its third season. Other shows recently reviewed include:  The Legend of Korra - Book One, MADtv: Season Three, and WWE: WrestleMania XXIX.  Want more?  Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVDTalk database.

This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: Love is a Many-Splendored Thing - Fox's 1955 blockbuster is a sweeping romance with the ingredients audiences craved: big stars and an exotic CinemaScope background; The Life of Oharu - One of the most impressive Japanese classics, Kenji Mizoguchi's sad epic about a 17th century lady of Kyoto is a scathing criticism of gender politics; and Fall Guy - A foolish guy lets himself be drugged by a blonde he meets at a party, and before he knows it he's framed for a murder. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

There are some new titles coming out that might make it worth a trip to the video store this week.
