It'd be a good weekend to go to the movies. Here are DVDTalk's recent theatrical reviews: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - a fun action feature that is an entertaining ride and improves upon the first one; Afflicted - this film proves that there are still filmmakers out there who are coming up with unique ideas, who enjoy keeping us on the edge of our seats; Nymphomaniac: Volume II - an impressive way for Lars von Trier to end his Depression Trilogy, as he utilizes unique story mechanics that many filmmakers would never dream of attempting. Other recent films include: Noah, The Raid 2: Berandal, Muppets Most Wanted, Nymphomaniac: Volume I, Bad Words, Need for Speed, Veronica Mars, The Grand Budapest Hotel, 300: Rise of an Empire, The Wind Rises, The Monuments Men, and The Lego Movie (3D). Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

Some great TV shows have made their way onto DVD this week including: Legit: Season 1 - an irreverent and highly recommended crowd-pleaser that pretty much manages to stay true to its creator Jim Jefferies' stand-up persona; Monsters: Complete Series - Fans of horror anthology series should definitely check out this fun and enjoyable show; and Passion Flower - a surprisingly good made-for-TV retro-noir with a complicated and frequently witty script. Other shows recently reviewed include:  The Story of Medicine: Pain, Pus & Poison, K - Complete Series, and Beware the Batman: Shadows of Gotham.  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 Front - Woody Allen thought so much of this project about the blacklisting of writers and entertainers that he broke his personal policy to act in a movie made by others; Cry Danger - Dick Powell is in top form as a tough-guy hero fresh from prison and bent on finding out who framed him for robbery and murder; and The Last Days of Sodom and Gomorrah - Robert Aldrich finally gets to exercise his apocalyptic muscles in a Biblical spectacle with big stars and a huge production filmed in Morocco. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
