Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I’d go with the Marvel Cinematic Universe if you don’t already have the individual releases. If you do have them, check out the listings and decide if the new extras are worth it.” Alex says, “I’ve seen a bit of Tokyo Magnatude 8.0, and I really want to watch the whole thing.”

3 replies on “Weekly New Releases – April 2, 2013”

  1. I thought Dirk Gently was pretty well done, though obviously a “Based On” rather than actual TV version of the books. Still a fun miniseries. If I were to get it, though, I’d go for blu-ray.

  2. “That Thing You Do” is hilarious, mostly due to Steve Zahn but the whole group is good together.

    While I am drooling over the whole Marvel collection, I can’t justify the cost for the minimal benefit (I already own all of those, and most of them on Blu-Ray already)

    I had no idea they did a Dirk Gently series, shame it isn’t on Netflix or I’d check it out.
