It's definitely an exciting week on the home video front, with a spate of thrilling action-adventures to liven up your viewing enjoyment. The top release of the week is Saturday's "The Hunger Games," the big-screen adaptation of the first in the trilogy of books by Suzanne Collins that takes place in a dystopian future North America.

Weekend Box Office: Bourne Legacy, The Campaign Topple a Dark Knight
Chris Kavan - wrote on 08/12/12 at 10:51 PM CT
After a couple of weeks of disappointing returns from the new entries at the box office, Hollywood finally got some of its mojo back thanks to a new action hero in an old franchise and a couple of comedic politicians.
There were plenty of questions surrounding The Bourne Legacy - would audiences turn in to this franchise without Matt Damon? Would they embrace Jeremy Renner? It turns out they …

After a couple of weeks of disappointing returns from the new films Hollywood has to offer, a trio of films targeting completely different audiences looks to finally give a rebound to the box office. In fact, if early predictions turn out to be true, The Dark Knight Rises could drop a whole two spots as both The Bourne Legacy and The Campaign are both proving to be better than expected, at least …

This Week's Highlight:
Warner Home Video has done it again: They've taken great care in repacking Stanley Kubrick's harrowing Vietnam War drama "Full Metal Jacket" (starring Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, R. Lee Ermey, Dorian Harewood, Kevyn Major Howard, Arliss Howard) as a two-disc Blu-ray set with a 40-page book that includes plenty of behind-the scenes photos, press …
Weekend Box Office: Total Recall, Wimpy Kid No Match for Dark Knight
Chris Kavan - wrote on 08/06/12 at 10:12 AM CT
Once again it was The Dark Knight Rises who prevailed against two new films (and crossed the $350 million mark) in another quiet weekend battle.
The Dark Knight Rises took in $36.4 million to raise its total to $354.6 million after three weeks. While it held up better in its third week compared to The Dark Knight (a 41% drop compared to a 43% drop) the film is still running about $39 million …
New Movies to Crave: Experience Total Recall... Again; Wimpy Kid Deals with Dog Days
Chris Kavan - wrote on 08/01/12 at 08:35 PM CT
Blame it on the Olympics, blame it on nerves still being rattled, but last week was lackluster to say the least at the box office. The comedy of The Watch nor the dancing of Step Up: Revolution could spark audiences. Hopefully the pair of newcomers coming this weekend can have better luck as The Dark Knight Rises (having recently passed the $300 mark) tries to recover from its opening day …

In the warmhearted comic yarn "Le Havre" (2011 -- French) from Aki Kaurismaki ("The Match Factory Girl"), fate throws the young African refugee Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) into the path of Marcel Marx (Andre Wilms), a kindly bohemian who shines shoes for a living, in the French harbor city Le Havre. With inborn optimism and the support of most of his tight-knit community, Marcel stands up to the …
Weekend Box Office: Dark Knight Still On Top; The Watch, Step Up Revolution Stumble
Chris Kavan - wrote on 07/29/12 at 06:30 PM CT
A week after a deadly shooting in Aurora, Colorado shook the nation, it appears movie-goers were still hesitant about movie theaters. While the The Dark Knight Rises had no problem topping the box office, new entries failed to gain much traction with viewers.
Christopher Nolan's swan song in his Batman saga was number one with $64 million. The film was down 60% from its debut, right between …
New Movies to Crave: The Watch is on Patrol, Step Up Revolution Gets Back to the Dance
Chris Kavan - wrote on 07/26/12 at 12:07 PM CT
The Dark Knight Rises faces a two-pronged attack for the top spot from two different films: an ensemble comedy and the latest in the Step Up dance series. Despite the competition, I'm sure that Christopher Nolan will notch another top-grossing weekend
1) Despite what looks like a solid cast: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, Richard Ayoade and Will Forte, amongst others, I haven't really …
