From "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" to Disney's "Into the Woods" and "Unbroken", Latin Post takes a look at the hottest DVDs coming to shelves this week.
The cinematography category is one of the most competitive each year as the craftsmanship becomes more unique and diverse. This year the nominees are made up previous winners, previous nominees and three newcomers.
"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" has won the Christmas weekend and the last weekend of the year beating out new releases "Into the Woods" and "Unbroken."
After a horrible box office year, studios will make their last attempt to revive the box office and will release a number of prestige pictures in time for Christmas.
Angelina Jolie is one of the most renowned actresses in Hollywood and this year she's taking on yet another challenge as she is directing her sophomore feature "Unbroken." The movie is an epic story of the life of Louis Zamperini and his travails in World War 2.
Overall, "Unbroken" is a well-intentioned and refined picture that will move audiences to tears. It celebrates the human spirit of Louis Zamperini, but unfortunately lacks any original or masterful storytelling.
The 2015 Oscars race is heating up, with many films having already premiered and opened theatrically. "Fury" opened to rave reviews for Brad Pitt and the cast but received mixed reviews for the overall product. Meanwhile "Birdman" received universal acclaim and is considered to be the front-runner. However, there are still a number of films that have yet to screen for critics and hope to obtain Oscar consideration.
