Matt Sullivan’s last big relationship ended in disaster and ever since his heart’s been aching and his commitment's been lacking. Then came Lent, that time of year when everybody gives something up. That’s when Matt decides to go where no man’s gone before and make a vow: No sex. Whatsoever. For 40 straight days. At first he has everything under control. That is until the woman of his dreams, Erica, walks into his life.

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for September 6th, 2011

September 7th, 2011

It's a transition week on the home market and while today doesn't mark the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, it's soon. Very soon. As in Friday. That's when X-Men: First Class comes out, which is the first of the summer blockbusters. The film earned fantastic reviews and will likely be the Pick of the Week, when the screener arrives. More...

Featured Blu-ray review: 40 Days and 40 Nights

September 4th, 2011

In 2001 Josh Harnett starred in two $100 million movies, Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. At the time, there was a lot of talk that he was going to be the next big thing, or at least a solid A-lister. He's never returned to that level. 40 Days and 40 Nights was a minor hit worldwide; it made close to $100 million on a budget of just $17 million. Now that it's coming out on Blu-ray, is it worth checking out? More...
