Before you head off to the cinema this weekend, check out DVD Talk's reviews of the latest releases including: RoboCop (2014) - still comes across as being quite stiff but fans of the original films will enjoy the few references that are made; and Nurse - exploitation fans will want to make a point of catching this film... it is a real throwback to the grindhouse fare of thirty or forty years ago, with slick production values and known actors. It's a blast to watch. Other recent films include: The Monuments Men, The Lego Movie (3D), Gimme Shelter, Gloria, The Wolf of Wall Street, Saving Mr. Banks, Like Father, Like Son, Big Bad Wolves, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Her, The Past, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and American Hustle. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

More TV shows have made their way on to DVD, and DVD Talk has got them covered. Check out our reviews of the newest TV releases including: Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season - The best yet: The performances are stellar, the production values of cinematic caliber, and the story is consistently ruthless and shocking; Treme: Complete Series - one of the most profoundly moving and beautifully realized shows to have ever aired... a must-own for anyone who cherishes good storytelling; and The Broker's Man - Series 1 - a British policier-type investigation/mystery series starring Kevin Whately, his performance and intelligent teleplays make this a program worth watching. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Salvage 1: Hard Water, Bad Dog! - Season 1, and Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.  Want more?  Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVD Talk database.

This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Vincent Price Collection - Twenty years after his passing, Vincent Price's horror work only seems to have grown in stature... for genre fans, this was probably the most desirable item offered last holiday season; Million Dollar Baby - Eastwood scores a home run with Paul Haggis' fine screenplay and remarkable acting teamwork from Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman; and This Woman is Dangerous - Joan Crawford surely tailored this unlikely crime thriller / bathetic soap to her own requirements. She's a hard-as-nails leader of a gang of armed robbers, but also a gentle soul who just wants to settle down in a nice family situation. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

Another banner week for DVDs with the studios releasing some great films and boxed sets such as: The Jungle Book: Diamond Edition [review] - Disney's new Diamond Edition Blu-ray/DVD offers a high-quality A/V presentation and more than enough new and vintage bonus features to satisfy die-hard fans of the film; All Is Lost [review] - Hollywood icon Robert Redford delivers one of his best performances (which is saying a lot) in this engrossing and powerful film; and Ender's Game [review] - a largely successful adaptation of the beloved science fiction novel, the movie is impressively deep for a family action spectacle.
