Interested in the latest TV on DVD reviews? DVD Talk has you covered! This week's notable entries include: Nurse Jackie - Season Six - the program hasn't lost a bit of a punch, and like its titular character, drug addict and acerbic nurse Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco), the show is full of ballsy surprises and stronger than ever; Friends With Better Lives: The Complete Series - an enjoyable series with witty writing, solid characters, and an excellent cast; and Olive Kitteridge - this riveting and sensitively done drama offers a quirky, beautifully acted portrait of a manic-depressive family. Other shows recently reviewed include:  Fairy Tail: Collection Three, A Certain Scientific Railgun: Season 1, and Ben-To: Complete Series.  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 St. Valentine's Day Massacre - Roger Corman's semi-doc approach to Al Capone's wipeout of the Bugs Moran outfit... Jason Robards doesn't look like Scarface but works up a righteous fury when killing men with razors and baseball bats; The Night They Raided Minsky's - Jason Robards and Norman Wisdom are Burlesque comics out to bed Britt Eklund, a virginal Amish girl who dances stories from the Bible; and Syncopation - This musical history of jazz is racially integrated, but its good intentions go only so far -- the music is great and the sentiment honest, but it's still a movie about black music told mostly from the viewpoint of white leads Bonita Granville and Jackie Cooper. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.

There are a few new releases this week that you won't want to miss. Check out these hot titles: Big Hero 6 [review] - a thrilling superhero adventure with plenty of genuine emotion and humor... the animation is beautiful, the action is exciting and the film never panders; Frank Darabont Collection [review] - a trio of great films directed by the three-time Oscar nominee on Blu-ray: The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Majestic; and Watership Down: Criterion Collection [review] - a dark, disturbing, and essential slice of animation that's aged perfectly well during the last 37 years. Other reviews of note include: New Year's Evil [review], Black Sunday [review], and 52 Pick-Up [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.

Our reviewers have been busy this week, filling the DVD Talk Review Database more great entries. Some new reviews of note include: Cartoon Roots - The fifteen restored vintage animated shorts collected in this feature-packed set trace the period when animation matured from crude drawings on paper to the wild, jazzy early sound era; Nightcrawler - a film that takes you into the disturbed mind of a sociopath who finds his calling by filming the misery of others and selling it to a broadcast news station, ; and All Neat in Black Stockings - a brilliantly-realized drama that draws you further and further into its miserable, sad tale of a petty, cruel, empty purveyor of late '60s "anything goes" sexual ethos. Other recent reviews include: The Wild Angels, White Comanche, and Nekromantik 2.  Visit the DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.
