Planning a trip to the local multiplex this weekend? Here are DVD Talk's reviews of the latest theatrical releases: Foxcatcher - this picture relating the true history of Olympic athlete brothers Mark & David Schultza is great film whose story was portrayed by amazing actors; Leviathan (2014) - Director Andrey Zvyagintsev's latest film earned a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film... hopefully that will get as many eyes on it as possible since it deserves to be seen en masse; and Amira & Sam - in this romantic comedy writer/director Sean Mullin has crafted a pair of tremendously convincing characters that will surely resonate with audiences. Other recent films include: American Sniper, Inherent Vice, Into the Woods, The Imitation Game, Selma, Wild, The Babadook, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I, Big Hero 6, Interstellar, The Theory of Everything, Birdman, Dracula Untold, Gone Girl. . Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

Some great TV shows have made their way onto DVD this week including: You're The Worst: The Complete First Season - This show is just pure fun to watch. The cast is smart and appealing. The humor is edgy and often tasteless, but this is a show that embraces sitcom formula as much as it subverts it; Stingray: The Complete Series - a Gerry Anderson "Supermarionation" show has imaginative sets, cool model work, and agreeably surrealistic situations that all combine for a fun program; and Young Justice: Invasion - this show is an incredible piece of art that was criminally cancelled before its time... it is chock full of excellently developed characters, terrific animation, fluid action sequences and the series has a wonderful story that is built up well throughout the 20 episodes. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Big Driver, Back In The Game: The Complete First Season, and The Mentalist: Season 6.  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 Bride Wore Black -François Truffaut's 'Hitchcock' picture really goes in its own direction to tell a stylized tale of cold revenge; World for Ransom - Robert Aldrich's first independent feature is a real mess cobbled out of the availability of the crew, star and studio set of a low-budg TV show, given a terrific premise (and title) but with real problems in the script and production department; and Breaking Away - Peter Yates's story of working-class high school graduates in a university town is a crowd-pleaser that plays even better now than it did in 1979. 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: Fury [review] -the most intense high-quality WW2 combat film in fifteen years... battle-scarred tank commander Brad Pitt leads his tough crew through three horrendous combat actions in one day; Art and Craft [review] - this interesting documentary tells the story of Mark Landis, a diagnosed schizophrenic who creates convincing counterfeit artwork and, posing as any number of fictional identities (including a Jesuit priest), donates said pieces to nationally recognized art galleries; and Open Windows [review] - Nacho Vigalondo's film takes the modern age's infatuation with celebrity and our current tendency to essentially want to live online and uses that to pull us into an interesting and suspenseful story . 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.
