DVD Releases and News

Academy Nominees DVD Release Dates

Ah, it's that time of the year again, where we watch the Academy Awards with befuddlement, wondering how our beloved genre flicks never get nominated, and how most of the winners slipped sneakily under our radar.

Not so this year! This year we're going to prepare ourselves for the madness by renting the DVDs (when possible), so that we're not as outraged when some no-name flick was nominated over one of our faves. Below you'll find a list of the DVD release dates we've been able to compile so far, so that even if you can't catch the movie before the awards (airing Feb. 25th), you'll at least be able to schedule when you're going to burn a particular film for ousting your flave-o'-the-year. If they're not listed, no official DVD street date has been announced, so you'll have to get your tail to the theatre. We've also removed any dups.
