Planning a trip to the local multiplex this weekend? Here are DVD Talk's reviews of the latest theatrical releases: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 - after an incredibly underwhelming Part 1, it's great to see the series return to form... this film is everything that a finale should be: engaging, fun, and epic; Anomalisa - Charlie Kaufman's latest movie is simultaneously complex, funny, heartbreaking, and sincerely spellbinding; and Concussion - Will Smith plays Nigerian immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu in this true story of the neurotpathologist who chronicled the first discovered case of football-related brain trauma.

Other recent films include: Spectre, Steve Jobs, Bridge of Spies, Room , Sicario, Pan, The Martian (3D), Pawn Sacrifice, and Straight Outta Compton. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

Interested in the latest TV on DVD reviews? DVD Talk has you covered!

Some pretty cool discs are being released this week. Check out these new titles: Faust (1926) [review] - F. W. Murnau was given carte blanche to bring to the screen his version of Goethe's classic tale, and the result is a magnificent silent classic; Living In Oblivion: 20th Anniversary Edition [review] - one of the funniest comedies of the '90s, and a big part of its lasting appeal came from Steve Buscemi's performance as an overtaxed director simply trying to finish his zero-budget indie film; and Pitfall [review] - a top tier film noir... It's suspenseful, exciting, occasionally quite twisted while at the same time delivering plenty of slick, visual style and some crafty, interesting characters to latch onto. 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.
