The big release this week is the Seth Rogen/Rose Byrne/Zac Efron comedy Neighbors, and we have three reviews of the film. Jeff Nelson loved it and said the film brings heavy laughs, Jamie S. Rich really liked it saying that it hits the funny bone more than it misses, while Tyler Foster wasn't as enamored and described the film as good looking, good-humored, but kind of empty. Other recent films include: The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Only Lovers Left Alive, 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.

Some great TV shows have made their way onto DVD this week including: Broadchurch: Season 1 -A gripping crime drama that's addictive... one of the best of its kind to come along in years; Father Brown: The Complete Collection - a good series made memorable by star Kenneth More's captivating title-role performance... watch it for him, definitely; and Dragon Ball Z: Season 3 - one of the best anime series of all time - in this season, Frieza puts a hurt on people unlike anything we've ever seen, until Goky arrives on the scene.
