Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials, not the Blu-ray edition under review. William Wyler’s 1942 drama Mrs.
Recommended THE FILM: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. You’d be forgiven for forgetting Resident Evil: Retribution’s super generic subtitle, as it may as well be called “This Year’s Resident Evil 3D.” This is the fifth Milla Jovovich-lead film in the franchise, and directly follows the events of last year’s Resident Evil: Afterlife , which marked the return of …
Highly Recommended The Blue Lagoon (1980) is the story of two children, a boy and girl, marooned on a South Seas island paradise. Completely cut-off from civilization, as teenagers they instinctively learn about love and sex. Although it was an enormous hit, earning ten times its cost, it’s also quite odd in that it was marketed as one kind of film, received by audiences as something altogether …

Skip It THE FILM: Chernobyl Diaries nails its dreary, post-nuclear meltdown Ukraine setting but not much else. This anemic horror film was written and produced by Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli, and provides little bloodletting, special effects or suspense. Several young friends join a burly local for an “Extreme Tour” of Prypiat, the stricken city next door to the Chernobyl Nuclear …
DVD Talk Collector Series One of the all-time great boxing movies, Body and Soul (1947) instantly became the template even for the great ones that followed. Champion and The Set-Up (both 1949) told similar stories, while The Harder They Fall (1956), also excellent, is practically a remake of Body and Soul only told from the perspective of a cynical publicist rather than the fighter.
