Every week there are tons of newly released films, Blu-rays, books, comics, and CDs, but the truth is, very few of them are worth your time. That’s where this feature comes in. Each posting attempts to highlight the best new media releases of the coming week. It’s far from exhaustive, and of course it will be mostly according to my taste, but I’ll try to do my best to include a wide variety, so hopefully you’ll see something that interests you too.
Games of Thrones
A few weeks ago, I talked about the release of the first season on Blu-ray, and now this week brings the premiere of the second season. This year follows the events of the second book, A Clash of Kings. If you havent’ watched yet, start the series from the beginning. You won’t be disappointed.
The Killing
While the first season left viewers divided, I was consistently impressed by this show. Its slow pace and ultimate lack of resolution angered some, but this show is all about the journey. It doesn’t really matter who killed Rosie Larson, though we’ll find out eventually. Its all about the lives of the people who surrounded her.
Ultimate Spider-man
Spider-man has had a large amount of success on TV throughout its various iterations. With the creative talent working on this series – Brian M Bendis, Paul Dini, Scott Mosier, and the creators of Ben 10 – this latest version looked to uphold that tradition. The trailer that was released recently, however, casts some doubt on that, as it appears to have more of a slapstick, almost Family Guy tone than is traditional for Spidey. It could still be a good series, and I’ll still check it out. I’m just hoping it’s as good as the very strong Spectacular Spider-man that was cancelled prematurely to make room for this show.
Sleep well,
