DVD Talk Collector Series Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials and other sources, not the Blu-ray edition under review. The Movie: Satyajit Ray’s 1963 film The Big City , a.k.a. Mahangar , is another fascinating outing from India’s great multi-hyphenate of cinema (he directed, wrote the screenplay, and composed the musical score)

DVD Talk Collector Series THE SERIES: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. I didn’t have the time to stay current with The Walking Dead during its third season while I studied for the bar exam. It was with great anticipation that I unwrapped last week the package containing The Walking Dead: The Complete Third Season Blu-ray set, as I’d been pining to catch up with …
Skip It THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. If you’re going to shoot a “found footage” movie in 2013, you better have a damn good reason for doing so.

Highly Recommended I don’t know why it takes me so long to follow certain TV shows (other than not having cable, of course). Season One of The Walking Dead sat unwrapped on my shelf for close to a year before I finally cracked it open, thanks to my consistent lack of free time and standard reviewing obligations.

And with Apatow’s fondness for the band Graham Parker and The Rumour …
Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials and other sources, not the Blu-ray edition under review. I am not sure what is more disturbing: James Cagney’s performance as the sociopathic gangster Ralph Cotter in the 1950 film Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye or the fact that Phil Spector was allegedly watching the movie in his limo the night he shot …
