CB - Today brought some big news for Bill Murray fans. Dan Aykroyd finally admitted that the comedian will not be participating in a potential Ghostbusters III, meaning that his cameo in Zombieland will likely be the last time that we ever see Murray dressed up as Dr. Peter Venkman. It was news that came with mixed emotions, as some could argue that we really don't need a third Ghostbusters movie while others would love to see the gang back together and fighting the spirits that haunt New York. Luckily it's not as though Murray is falling off the map completely, as he has a number of films coming out even this year, one of them being Hyde Park on Hudson in which he plays President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Want to see what that looks like? You're in luck.

This is the second straight week of somewhat lackluster Blu-ray releases after what seemed like a month straight of blockbusters and great catalog titles. This week we have a President’s love affair with… hot dogs, Fraser Crane rules Chicago with an iron fist, an Asian superstar takes on a supernatural snake and Nic Cage continues to dig his own cinematic grave. Not exactly a banner week- maybe next week will be better.

More a King’s Speech footnote than a sequel, Park only flies when Bill’s centre stage. We’re curious to see how it fares against Lincoln, the award season’s other presidential hopeful.

So speculative in its nature that its historical interest in minimal and so vague in its romantic revelations that genre fans will pass it by. For what it’s worth, there are a few giggles to be mined for the patient but otherwise this is simply forgettable stuff"
