Some great TV shows have made their way onto home video recently including: Westworld: The Complete First Season - an intelligent reimagining of its source, this show concerns a Wild West-themed futuristic theme park populated by highly advanced androids where, for $40,000 a day, the richest of the rich can indulge in sex at the local brothel and violent gunplay with machines that bleed realistically but programmed not to harm them back; and PAW Patrol: The Great Snow Rescue - still going strong after more than four years (a lifetime, as far as kids shows go), and that's a good thing because it's been a consistently fun and entertaining show.

There are a few new releases that you won't want to miss. Check out these hot titles: Atomic Blonde - director David Leitch brings a familiarly gritty, stylized presence to the spy-thriller graphic novel adaptation, capturing both combat and conversations with mesmerizing visuals and ‘80s tunes that consistently interweave with the narrative itself; Cease Fire - 3D - a semi-documentary depiction of the last days of the Korean War, shot on real battlefield locations, using real soldiers, more or less playing themselves, firing real ammunition; and Le Samourai - quite simply one of the finest crime drama/noirs ever made and the very embodiment of cinematic cool... Criterion has done a nice job giving the film a more than respectable high definition presentation. 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.

Some cool discs have been reviewed over the past week. Check out these recent entries: The Dark Tower - this truncated, superficial adaptation of Stephen King's series squanders a talented cast with a stop-start narrative that neither satisfies fans nor appropriately introduces newcomers to the material; Jabberwocky: Criterion Collection - Terry Gilliam's film is a fascinating little slice of film history for the soon-to-be celebrated director… there's a certain level of enjoyment here, including a likable lead performance by Michael Palin and a substantial atmosphere that defies its extremely modest budget; and Annabelle: Creation - a worthy entry in the Conjuring universe and an improvement upon Annabelle, this sequel offers an increased mythology for the Annabelle doll and its corresponding demon and is nicely directed.
