Looking ahead at the holiday DVD and Blu-ray shopping season, we don't like much of what we see, including Men in Black III , Hope Springs , Ted , The Bourne Legacy , Lawless , and The Odd Life of Timothy Green , but the post-apocalyptic thriller The Day is better than it has any right to be, Laurence Anyways is an exceptional Canadian film, and there's also that Batman movie from that really famous director guy.

This week on DVD Pixar's Brave and the re-boot of The Amazing Spider-man both take aim for home entertainment superiority.
