It'd be a good week to go to the movies. Here are DVD Talk's recent theatrical reviews: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 [a 2nd review] - a wild ride from beginning to end that won't be forgotten or underappreciated when the dust settles; and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - an exciting action-adventure film featuring great special effects, a fun cast, and ultra-fast direction by one of the maestros of the style, Guy Ritchie. Other recent films include: Logan, Kong: Skull Island, Beauty and the Beast (2017), and Split.. Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section.

More TV shows have made their way on to DVD and Blu-ray, and DVD Talk has got them covered. Check out our reviews of the newest TV releases including: Insecure: The Complete First Season - Issa Rae and an ensemble of welcome new faces bring honesty and relatability to the millennial angst of this show; Ocean Waves - this Studio Ghibli film has finally released in region one… audiences in America can finally see this gem of storytelling and animation; and Mars (2016 Miniseries) - the drama that dominates this six hour mini-series' lifespan is interesting at times due to the solid groundwork laid by science and the short-term future projections that give its foundation a credible base.

There are some new titles coming out that might make it worth a trip to the video store. Check out these recent releases: Saturday Night Fever - the movie holds up well… a genuinely solid film that mixes the fun inherent in the disco sequences with some honestly believable human drama; Heat - with its hauntingly cold cinematography, moody score, terrific performances, and let's not forget the mother of all shootouts in its center, this film more than likely represents the peak of director Michael Mann’s career; and The Loved One - this has all the dark and unusual elements to be a cult classic… intriguing, with several wonderfully weird performances, and should appeal to fans of films like Dr. Strangelove and The Ruling Class. 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.

This week the DVD Talk Review Database has some great new entries, including a few discs you may have overlooked. Recent reviews include: Buena Vista Social Club - Wim Wenders and Ry Cooder bring together legendary Cuban musicians for this interesting and engaging documentary; Tampopo - The Criterion Collection - an odd, invigorating delight that basks in the beauty of life through a passion for food… It is unique and wonderful, and any cinephile should seek it out immediately; and Broken Arrow - one of two Westerns starring James Stewart released in 1950 that reshaped the entire genre… rightly praised for years for being among the first big studio films to portray Indians sympathetically.
