With nothing on our DVD slate this week, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag including organizing Steve’s movie collection and measuring the summer’s mercenary flicks against each other.

It’s probably the best show on Showtime’s roster, and the fourth season ranks as one of the best, but what otherwise should have been a slam-dunk “Keeper” winds up a “Renter” due to lacklustre special features.

This Swedish mystery film is a near-perfect movie and the first one to receive Steve’s “criticsm proof” designation.

Bleak would be the bets word to describe this beautifully shot and painstakingly acted adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel. Will it wander its way into the Cynics’ collections?

Rarely has a DVD been released that has been so conspicuously devoid of special features.

Despite selling 6.7 million copies in 4 days, the home video release of Avatar does nothing but earn our contempt.

It’s clearly not our cup of tea, but neither Brian nor Steve could say that we were not amused.

This week on The Film Cynics we begin our series on how to help you build a better DVD collection, staring with your sci-fi section.

John Woo’s The Killer attempts to pay homage to a number of early films, and somehow creates a film that the next generation need to tip their hats to.

Listen in on our reviews of Sherlock Holmes, The Blind Side and The Killer.
