BuRStS #62: June 20, 2017 featuring Life

There’s 7 movies hitting the home video market this week. You’d think luck would be involved and the viewing audience would be the beneficiary here since the number is 7 but that’s not the case. The box office winner of the group was Life, if that tells you anything about this week’s crop of releases. But at least it has Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal, right? Here’s what you should buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of June 20th:Read More →

BuRStS #61: June 6/13, 2017 featuring Beauty and the Beast & John Wick: Chapter 2

Between last week and this week, 21 movies have become available for your home viewing pleasure. The list isn’t the best but there’s at least plenty to choose from. If you’re questioning whether you should read further, realize there are movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme on this list. (I’m not sure if that’s a selling point or a caution.) Here’s what to buy, rent, stream and skip for the weeks of June 6 & 13:Read More →

BuRStS #60: May 30, 2017 featuring Before I Fall

There are some weeks where the “Buy It!” recommendation is legit. There are others where it’s the best of a bad lot. That’s how this week’s “Buy It!” recommendation came about with Before I Fall leading the way amongst the muck and grime of this week’s releases. Here’s what buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of May 30th:Read More →

BuRStS #59: May 23, 2017 featuring Logan

Hugh Jackman’s apparent swan song from the X-Men franchise makes it to home video and leads this week’s lineup of 9 movies available. Joining Jackman is Jordan Peele’s enormously successful directorial début, an Academy Award nominated Animated Feature, a Heath Ledger documentary, a female directed horror anthology and a bunch of slop you shouldn’t bother with. Here’s what to buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of May 23rd:Read More →

It’s another soft week for home video releases. The quantity of releases is pretty healthy with 9 releases. When you’re forced to make xXx: Return of Xander Cage one of your higher recommendations, you know you’re grasping at straws this week. Here is what to buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of May 16th:Read More →

BuRStS #57: May 9, 2017 featuring A Street Cat Named Bob

If you’re completely caught up on your home viewing, this week is going to be a big disappointment for you. There are only 3 releases this week and the list isn’t very impressive. Here’s what to buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of May 9th:Read More →

BuRStS #56: May 2, 2017 featuring The Red Turtle

Even though there are 10 releases this week, it’s not a great week for big movies. There are 3 Oscar nominees in the mix with a Best Animated Feature nominee The Red Turtle joined by Best Documentary nominee I Am Not Your Negro and Best Foreign Language Film winner The Salesman. We’re still suffering the residual effect of January as the movies released during dump month are now finding their way into the home video market. Here’s what to buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of May 2:Read More →

BuRStS #55: April 25, 2017 featuring La La Land

Another Tuesday, another 8 movies you probably didn’t go bother see at the cinema but now may be compelled to watch at home. With the exception of La La Land, this week’s releases either didn’t get a theatrical run or performed poorly at the box office (*COUGH* Underworld: Blood Wars *COUGH*). Here’s what you should buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of April 25th:Read More →

BuRStS #54: April 18, 2017 featuring The Founder

Hopefully, April 18th isn’t causing you too much pain. If you waited until the last minute to file your taxes, I think there might be a chance that the day is causing you more stress than necessary. There’s potentially good news since there are 7 home video releases this week to help you relax. Unfortunately, they all don’t look great. Here’s MHT’s best effort to help find something to buy, rent, stream or skip for April 18, 2017:Read More →

BuRStS #53: April 11, 2017 featuring Hidden Figures & Lion

This week’s BuRStS features two Oscar nominated films (Hidden Figures and Lion) which are both excellent choices to add to any home video collection. It also features two dump month releases (The Bye Bye Man and Monster Trucks) which took less than 3 months to find their way into the home video market. The remaining 6 releases earned $3.5 million at the box office combined. Here’s MHT’s list of what to buy, rent, stream and skip for the week of April 11th:Read More →
