The latest entertainment news in Blu-ray, movies, games, comics and more…
There is no mistaking the quality of programming that comes from HBO. Productions like Westworld, True Detective and Game of Thrones continue to wow audiences with their exceptional writing, acting and direction. As those series are currently some of the mainstays of HBO, it can be easy to overlook the original films that come forth […]

Great to see in HD, but this release should prove to be interesting, given the nature of the remastering. Anyway: Hailed as “one of the best and most original series on television in decades” (The New York Times), the groundbreaking hit series The Wire makes its highly anticipated debut on Blu-ray June 2, 2015. For The Wire: The […]
Boardwalk Empire is the series that I always felt both audiences and HBO wanted more from. Make no mistake, this Prohibition era-set crime drama, starring Steve Buscemi, was certainly a handsome production, with many fine performances, and a narrative that made some big turns throughout its 56-episode run, but I never felt like this would […]
One of the best shows…well, ever, is coming to Blu-ray. The Wire is both one of the greatest TV shows of all time and also one of the least represented when it comes to all the Emmys and Golden Globes it should have won. With that in mind, the expansion of HBO’s availability at least […]
I have been a huge fan of HBO’s comedy series Eastbound & Down and the ridiculous, foul-mouthed anti-hero character that is Kenny Powers since the beginning. I know some people are not big fans of Danny McBride, but I find him hilarious and this show, which he is heavily involved in the production of, was […]

Here’s something I totally forgot to pick up while out at Comic-Con this year. Now I may have another chance! HBO and IDW Publishing have announced a second printing for the True Blood comic book series. Obviously, the first printing sold out instantly. The second printing will be available in stores everywhere on August 25th. […]
I found out about this HBO and IDW Publishing title about a month ago and I could not be more excited about it. Yep, that’s right folks…the True Blood comic book series! I don’t think I even need any fancy schmancy introduction to tell you how excited fans of the show must be over this […]
It’s no secret that some of here at WSB are huge fans of HBO’s smash-hit True Blood. We provided coverage of the True Blood panel at last year’s Comic-Con and we even wrote about True Blood in a no holds barred editorial last year. So what’s all the fuss about today?
