Check out DVD Talk's latest reviews of movies that are in theatrical release. This week's crop includes: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 [second review]- The action is bigger and the violence more destructive but this sequel has too much of everything except internal logic; and Only Lovers Left Alive - director Jim Jarmusch has made a vampire movie and it has the spirit of old rock 'n' roll mixed with romantic poetry and gothic gloom, powered by Einstein's theory of spooky action... it is pretty pretty wondrous to behold. Other recent films include: Locke, 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.

Check out the latest DVD reviews that have been entered into the DVD Talk Review Database including: Touch of Evil - this bravura set includes three separate versions of Orson Welles' tale of murder and menace along with several commentaries and documentaries as extras; Sorcerer - this remake of The Wages of Fear is one of the most masterful and criminally overlooked films from the 1970s, and has at long last been lavished with the exceptional presentation it deserves; and Rita, Sue and Bob Too - the funny performances, sharp script, and inventively choreographed camerawork are just as memorable now as when the film was first released.
