This week on home video, we've got four new releases that are Certified Fresh, including one multiple Oscar-winner, one animated adventure, a music doc, and an indie drama about alcoholism. On top of that, there's also the relatively well-received biopic about Alfred Hitchcock and the making of Psycho and a quirky Sean Penn-powered road trip drama.

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Wreck-It Ralph and Red Dawn (38 comments)

by Ryan Fujitani on Tuesday, Mar. 05 2013, 10:40 AM

This week on home video, we've got at least one Oscar nominee in the mix (Wreck-It Ralph), but it's balanced out by a couple of duds, including an unnecessary 1980s remake and another failed Gerard Butler rom-com. Then, we've also got a French import that broke records overseas and Barry Levinon's effective found footage horror movie. To top it all off, we've got a couple of notable reissues, including a Freddy Kreuger collection to die for. Click through for the full list!

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Twilight Ends and The Master Mesmerizes (66 comments)

by Ryan Fujitani on Tuesday, Feb. 26 2013, 02:42 PM

This week on home video, we've only got five major releases to talk about in detail, but they certainly run the gamut. From angsty (and ridiculously popular) teen vampires to thrill-seeking surfers, from an exploration of cult dynamics to a cinematic dream, and including a doc with that rare 100% Tomatometer, we think you'll be hard pressed not to find something to watch this week.

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Best Picture Nominee Argo and Sinister (46 comments)

by Ryan Fujitani on Tuesday, Feb. 19 2013, 11:48 AM

One of last year's most talked about and (thus far) most honored films hits store shelves this week. Though it's tough to know what Argo's chances of winning the Best Picture Oscar are, at least it'll benefit from likely big rental numbers. Otherwise, we've also got Joe Wright's latest period piece with Keira Knightley, a Nickelodeon teen comedy, a fairly well-reviewed horror flick, and a ton of reissues.

by Ryan Fujitani on Tuesday, Jan. 08 2013, 09:43 AM

This week, we return to a regular rotation of home video releases with a few notable selections and, as always, a few less than notable ones. Among the choices are a well received comic-based action film, Tim Burton's latest stop-motion project, a Qatsi-esque visual collage, and a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller. In addition, there's also a Jennifer Lawrence-powered horror dud, a hit-and-miss road trip comedy, and an implausible Nic Cage heist flick. Click through for the full list!

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Smart Sci-Fi Flick Looper (15 comments)

by Ryan Fujitani on Monday, Dec. 24 2012, 02:20 PM

Last week was the longest RT on DVD article of the year, and this week, we've got the shortest RT on DVD article ever. While most films opted to hit the home video market before Christmas and take full advantage of the holiday buying rush, our one release today decided to throw caution to the wind. Rian Johnson's Looper is the only home video release worth talking about this week, so without further ado, let's talk about it.

by Ryan Fujitani on Tuesday, Dec. 18 2012, 07:37 PM

With Christmas just a week away, it's not surprising that so many films found their way into home video release this week. As such, there's a pretty wide variety available, ranging from sci-fi blockbusters to indie comedies, from dramas to action thrillers, and even a little something for the kids. On top of that, we've got a pretty solid number of Certified Fresh films in the mix, so click through for our longer-than-usual list!

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: MIB III and ParaNorman (24 comments)

by Ryan Fujitani on Tuesday, Nov. 27 2012, 11:46 AM

Last week we suffered from a dearth of worthy titles on home video, so it's nice that we have a wider variety to talk about this week. We start things off with a return visit with the Men in Black and another spooky stop-motion animation from the people who made Coraline. Then, we've got a couple of movies about siblings (some gangsters, and some motown singers), the latest in hippity-hoppitiest dance franchise, and another haunted house movie that bombed.

by Ryan Fujitani on Monday, Nov. 19 2012, 04:20 PM

This may be the week of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but it looks like home video distributors didn't much care. There is so little coming out tomorrow that we're limiting our selection to just four entries. Thankfully, they're all fairly notable items, so click through to see the full list!

by RT Staff on Tuesday, Nov. 13 2012, 02:02 PM

Then we have a few films that left critics largely undecided, and lastly there's at least one misfire that's at least an interesting misfire. Click through for the full list!

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: The Campaign and Alfred Hitchcock (24 comments)

by Ryan Fujitani on Monday, Oct. 29 2012, 05:30 PM

This week on home video, our biggest movie is also the lowest-rated one on the list. This isn't to say it isn't any good (it still earned a 66% on the Tomatometer), but the smaller releases and the Blu-ray reissues are much stronger. Click through to see the full list!
