It's that time of year again - the time of year when we remind you that we have a big ol' HOLIDAY PAGE packed with titles. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - they're all in there, and we might even have some advice for Hannukah and New Year's Eve, too! Be sure to check out the Holiday page for recommendations on old - and new - favorites!

THE SIMPSONS - THE COMPLETE SIXTEENTH SEASON [BLU-RAY]: (2004) "As The Simpsons progresses, it becomes more and more erratic, so don’t expect consistency from Season 16. Still, it offers reasonable entertainment and occasionally reminds us why we came to love the series in the first place. The Blu-rays presents pretty good visuals, audio and bonus materials. I wouldn’t buy Season 16 if I didn’t already own the series’ strongest years, but active fans should feel happy with the set." Created by Matt Groening. Fox, $59.99, 12/3/2013.

THE GHOST AND MRS MUIR [BLU-RAY]: (1947) "Not the average sentimental romance, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir provided a surprisingly likeable and entertaining affair. The flick avoided mushiness but managed a lot of zest and a sweet emotional element. The Blu-ray offered good picture, audio and bonus materials. Although the Blu-ray drops a few supplements from the DVD, its improvements in visual/sound quality make it a worthwhile upgrade." Starring Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison. Fox, $24.99, 12/3/2013.

PRISONERS [BLU-RAY]: (2013) "Though not without some merits, Prisoners falls flat in the end. It squanders a good cast and some intriguing elements to turn into a muddled cop thriller without the intelligence and cleverness to succeed. The Blu-ray delivers very good picture and audio but lacks substantial bonus materials. I wanted to like Prisoners but came away disappointed." Starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal. Warner, $35.99, 12/17/2013.

FUTURAMA - VOLUME 7: (2012) "While not the best package of Futurama episodes, “Volume 7” still musters a lot of entertainment. The volume comes with ups and downs but nonetheless provides more laughs than groaners. The DVDs offer excellent visuals along with good audio and a pretty informative set of bonus materials. Fans will get a kick from this fun package." Starring Billy West, Katey Sagal. Fox, $29.98, 12/11/2012.

SCROOGED [BLU-RAY]: (1988) "Back in 1988, I expected Scrooged to offer a lively reworking of A Christmas Carol. It seemed disappointing to me back then and hasn't improved with age; while it delivers mild entertainment, it doesn't offer enough amusement and creativity to succeed. The Blu-ray comes with pretty good picture and audio but lacks supplements. Maybe someday I'll change my mind about Scrooged, but right now, I still see it as mediocre." Starring Bill Murray, Karen Allen. Warner, $24.99, 11/1/2011.

STAR TREK - THE NEXT GENERATION - SEASON FIVE [BLU-RAY]: (1991) "While Season Five of Star Trek: The Next Generation seems less positive than the prior two years, it still manages to offer a lot of good entertainment. A few stinkers intrude on the set, but most of the shows appear good or better. The Blu-rays deliver strong picture and audio along with a nice array of bonus materials. TNG fans will be delighted with this set and it makes a strong upgrade over the old DVDs." Starring Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes. Paramount, $129.99, 11/19/2013.

ANCHORMAN - THE LEGEND OF RON BURGANDY - RICH MAHOGANY EDITION [BLU-RAY]: (2004) "A spotty and inconsistent comedy, Anchorman presents a decent number of laughs. The flick never quite connects, though, as it’s too up and down to keep us truly entertained much of the time. The Blu-ray presents decent picture and audio along with a stellar package of bonus materials. Even if you already own the single-disc BD, the hours of entertainment provided by the added supplements makes the “Rich Mahogany Edition” a must-have for Anchorman fans." Starring Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate. DreamWorks, $24.99, 12/3/2013.
