There aren't a lot of new theatrical reviews this week, but the one we have is a winner. Two the members of DVD Talk's review panel, Jeff Nelson and Jamie S. Rich, covered Gravity and they both gave the film five out of five stars and they seperately awarded it film the coveted "DVD Talk Collector Series" rating. Jamie S. Rich said that it just may be the best picture of 2013, while Jeff Nelson called it an absolute must-see and unlike any other film experience. It looks like that's the film to see this weekend! Other recent films include: Inequality for All, Prisoners, The World's End, Kick-Ass 2, Elysium, The Wolverine, I'm So Excited, and The Conjuring. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

Some pretty cool discs are being released this week.
