There's no stopping it. Winter is in full effect. When you wake up and your pipes are frozen (like mine) you realize there's nothing better than snuggling up in some warm clothes to read about movies online. It's a good thing we're here, right?

There wasn't a lot of new stuff that came out the last week of 2012. Josh covered all of the new Blu-ray releases in his Blu-ray Highlights column. Although, there is one release you might want to check out and that's 'Looper.'
Are you a fan of fancy packaging? Check out the new UK steelbook for 'Skyfall.' Man, it looks good.
