TV on DVD: Mr. Robot, Doc Martin, and Amy Schumer
Some great TV shows have made their way onto home video recently including:
Mr. Robot: Season 1 - a mix of timely social commentary, Shakespearean drama and trippy psychological thriller, this show is incredibly well-made, with tremendous performances; Doc Martin - Series 7 - the long-running British program still delights in many respects while remaining downright frustrating in other ways; and Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo - despite starting on fire, Amy Schumer just can't maintain an hour-long special without coming off as overly cringeworthy... a passable hour of entertainment.

This Week's Notable Releases: Out 1, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, and The Look of Silence
Some great discs are being released this week. Check out these new movies and shows:
Out 1 [review] - After nearly half a century, a lost masterpiece of the French New Wave has finally made its way to American home video with an unbeatable transfer and a solid pair of supplements; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead [review] - this film is almost entirely dialogue driven but the sardonic wit of the material jives so perfectly with the two leads' acting styles in this picture that you can't help but get a kick out of it... a movie that is frequently really, really funny; and The Look of Silence [review] - Joshua Oppenheimer's film about the mass killings of Indonesia in the mid 1960's is stunning, with moments of immense power told with no dramatic enhancement.
