Planning a trip to the local multiplex this weekend? Here are DVD Talk's reviews of the latest theatrical releases: Locke - an intriguing character study that ultimately succeeds in not only keeping its audiences entertained, but making us intrigued by this man's journey to keep a promise that he made to himself; Finding Vivian Maier - this documentary about an unknown artist will leave you both fascinated and inspired; The Other Woman (2014) - this romcom that tells a story of friendship, morale, and revenge just isn't very funny. Other recent films include: Transcendence, Blue Ruin , Draft Day, Oculus, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Noah, Nymphomaniac: Volume II, The Raid 2: Berandal, Muppets Most Wanted, Nymphomaniac: Volume I, and Bad Words. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

More TV shows have made their way on to DVD and Blu-ray, and DVD Talk has got them covered. Check out our reviews of the newest TV releases including: Star Trek: Enterprise - Season Four - from top to bottom, this fourth season represents the best Enterprise to date and is undoubtedly worth the price of admission; Angry Birds Toons - it's hard to ignore the charm of these ubiquitous bird, as they're witty, hilarious and highly reminiscent of the days when we used to watch Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry; and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts: Fully Roasted - a playful, mildly anarchic spirit rules the day in these 17 roasts making for a highly amusing collection of solid comedy. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Rawhide: The Seventh Season, Volume 1, The Carol Burnett Show: Carol's Crack Ups, and Is this a Zombie! Season 1.  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: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia - Sam Peckinpah either found the perfect expression for his nihilistic world view with this movie, or he went absolutely freaking nuts.; Used Cars - Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale chalk up another anarchic comedy, this time a raunchy satire that equates American enterprise with chicanery, fraud and appeals to the baser instincts. Sign me up; and Men in War - This well-received "lost patrol" combat film is an intense low budget effort made by top talent... It got its reputation by sticking to a tough-minded, realistic script and giving free rein to an excellent cast. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

This week several great movies are coming out, including a few that shouldn't be missed: Riot in Cell Block 11 [review] - a smart film that raises some issues to which there aren't a lot of easy answers... this Criterion Blu-ray is excellent in pretty much every regard; The Pawnbroker [review] - a great looking and sounding presentation marks the perfect time to acquaint (or reacquaint) yourself with this forgotten classic; and La Maison de la Radio [review] - by presenting a kaleidoscope of many little elements that go into the creation of public radio programming, director Nicolas Philibert has crafted a fascinating, quietly joyful film. Other reviews of note include Lady Whirlwind / Hapkido [review] , Master of the House [review], and Scream Park [review]. 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.

Some really excellent discs have been released lately... just take a look at these Highly Recommended titles: Fargo: Remastered Edition - this classic from the Coen Brothers faultlessly treads the line between idiosyncratic comedy and nailbiter tension; Double Indemnity - 70th Anniversary Limited Edition - a film noir classic that takes one's breath away even after multiple viewings; and Norma Rae: 35th Anniversary - Sally Field an Academy Award for this film that seeks to remind us of the importance of the unity of people, and also the profound impact that can be felt because of the determination of a few. Other recent reviews include: Demons, The First Time, and Dead Shadows.  Visit the DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.
