“For those who loved this world and knew friendly company therein: This reunion is for you.” For anyone who’s already read my prior review of the US release, this review contains the same film analysis, but a technical review that compares the regular US edition with the Japanese steelbook edition.

Lost: The Complete Sixth and Final Season (Blu-ray)
DVD Talk Collector Series “Everything happens for a reason.” Such a phrase is about as generic an ideology as they come, but as utilized on one of television’s most fascinating series in recent memory ( LOST ), it took on a whole new meaning entirely.

Keeping Score: Ives’ Holidays Symphony (Blu-ray Review)
The great iconoclast of American music is explored in this excellent entry in the ‘Keeping Score’ series. What exactly is the American temperament?
