Joey's leaving on a jet plane...

...and while I know when I'll be back again, for the next week I'll only be a limited presence on the site. Essentially, look for my DVD column on Tuesday like normal and sporadic posts to the blog. For me, I'll be in Las Vegas, then on to North Carolina and Virginia for some family business. See you all on the other side!

Circuit Round-Up, 07/10

* Last week, Joey’s DVD Picks of the Week centers on a diverse selection of three new DVD releases.

* In honor of America’s 235^th birthday, I published my list of the ten most patriotic films ever made.

* I also mused about the bizarre dichotomy between Michael Bay’s poor reputation and his financial success.

* Typical. The one time I didn’t want to be correct in my box office predictions was the one that ended up dead-on in Mike’s Box Office Actuals for the Independence Day weekend.

* On the bright side, that should make my preview of the weekend openings less of a joke…

* Finally, Joey Magidson published his Mid-Year report card.

Circuit Round-Up, 04/10

* Last week, Joey Magidson gave positive reviews of Source Code, Insidious, Super and Cedar Rapids. Michael Ward’s review of Hop is…not so kind.

* Joey’s DVD Pick of the Week is a tribute to Jim Carrey’s work in I Love You Phillip Morris.

* Anna Belickis honors her first actress highlighted for Women in Cinema…and she’s one of the best working today.

* Anna also reminds us of how great Tobey Maguire can be for Under the Circuit.

* Anna gives a recap of the third week of Dancing with the Stars.

* I take a look at the new releases for the weekend. What did you end up seeing?

* Finally, on a more serious note, staff writer John Foote gives us an update on his wife’s condition. Please keep both of them in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time…

Circuit Round-Up, 04/03

* Last week Mike, Anna and Joey shared a slew of reviews for last week's new releases.

* Anna Belickis spotlights the career of Nancy Meyers in her “Women in Cinema” series.

* Joey's DVD Pick of the Week is an Oscar-winning favorite of the senior staff writer's from last year.

* Joey Magidson inspires some interesting debate with his choice for “Under the Circuit.”

* Anna also gives us an update on the second week of Dancing with the Stars. You know you love it!

* I give my impressions of the first two episodes of the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce…

* …and, for good measure, review the 1945 noir classic for Historical Circuit.

The blog is taking a day off...

...since it's my birthday. Hope nobody minds!
