October is over and before you know it Black Friday will be here, and so all the studios are preparing their holiday selection. Although this mostly consists of classics like 'It's A Wonderful Life,' 'Forrest Gump' and others, there are also some okay day and date titles like 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' and 'The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.' Next week Disney makes things much more interesting for ...

So the biggest movie of the year has come to Blu-ray and is behind us, but there are plenty of hot new releases left on the docket this year -- just not this week. This week we are planning on getting a couple of movies for our kids as well as checking out the latest 'Battlestar Galactica' movie, 'The Plan.' Other than that we're looking forward to checking out Larry David in a Woody Allen movie, ...

Here we are one more week until 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'Waterworld' are released on Blu-ray and as you might expect in October, nothing much to see here -- just kidding about 'Waterworld,' that movie stinks. If you are into scary movies then 'Drag Me to Hell' should be a welcomed addition, you know with its IDMB score of 7.5 and all. Disney does have 'The Proposal,' but we'd bet ...

You we can't help it so here we go -- we're off to see the 'Wizard' on Blu-ray this week as one of the all time classics is released in HD, but other than that there isn't much to get excited about. Sure if you like TV shows you might be interested in the latest seasons of 'The Unit' or 'How I Met Your Mother' and like usual there are plenty of other catalogs to help complete your collection, but ...

There's only one thing to call this week and that's Star Trek week. Sadly, of the six 'Star Trek' Blu-ray Discs being released this week, the one we are really waiting for isn't included -- that's okay though as it'll probably take you that long to watch all of these. Universal evidently isn't out of catch up titles yet as it releases two more worth watching with 'Hot Fuzz' and 'Shaun Of The ...

These weekly posts are starting to make us sound like a broken record. In fact we really don't know what else there's to say about another week of solid catalogs and TV shows for Blu-ray. By our count we have about another five weeks of this before the Summer blockbusters start to get released on Blu-ray. 'My Name Is Earl: Season Four' (Fox) 'Wrong Turn' (Fox) 'Wrong Turn 2: Dead End' ...

As a motley group of music snobs, avid gamers, and movie buffs, we hate to admit this. Really, we do. But the vast majority of our listening, playing, and viewing takes place not in an acoustically treated home-entertainment fortress, but on a couch in front of a laptop. Seeing as that's the case, we really don't need all those fragile, easily smudged discs lying around as we once did. And even ...

This post gets harder and header to write each week. We mean what is there really to say about a few old catalogs and a few TV shows. It's not that we don't think anyone is going to get excited about the latest season of 'Smallville' on Blu-ray, it's just that we don't get excited about it. That's okay though as there is plenty left to watch in our queue as we wait for the fall, which not only ...

Another week closer to Fall and another week of so, so releases on Blu. Again this week we're excited about at least one catalog title, and the one this week is extra special. In fact we can't imagine growing up without seeing 'The Last Starfighter' and can't wait to see it in HD for the first time ever. Other than that though, we probably going to pass on everything else this week, but maybe ...

Will Summer ever end? It certainly doesn't seem like it as we suffer these hot days inside without much to watch on Blu-ray. No worries, because football will be back before we know it and in the meantime we'll catch up with some catalog titles from Lionsgate and Sony. At the same time we'll skip the '17 Again' from New Line, but we're sure some big Zac Efron fans won't. '17 Again' (New Line) ...

On this slow week in August we're happy that both Disney and Fox went to the vault and pulled out a couple of classics. The first on our list has us thinking we should have some French fried potaters for lunch, while the second reminds us of when we just were just a couple of yutes. So in other words, if you're all caught up on the recent day-and-date new releases, now's a good time to go back and ...

Universal really comes to the rescue this week with a very nice slate of releases. As if 'Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series' wasn't enough -- although totally unaffordable for most people -- there is also Season 4.5 as well as the entire 'Fast & Furious' franchise. On top of all that, there is '12 Monkeys' which is a classic that we can't wait to see in HD. Fox also has a few titles ...

It may be hard to believe but this is one of the better weeks in July as far as Blu-ray releases go. Not only do you have some solid catalog titles from Sony and Fox, but you also have a nice selection of documentaries. Things really get interesting starting next week as Watchman is due which kicks off a few weeks of good releases. 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' / 'Curse of the Golden Flower' ...

We just passed the official half way point of 2009 and still waiting for Hollywood to start releasing the goods again. So until then, we'd like to highlight 'The Universe' from A&E. We're drawn towards this for a few reasons. One is that we like to see TV shows being released on Blu-ray since that just gives us one more reason to not subscribe to cable, and two we like documentaries on ...

Wow, we don't even know what to say about this week's slate of new releases on Blu-ray. All we can really say is that even though we're used to being bored by the studio's Summer offerings, this week is especially weak. We'd like to say things are about to turn around in the coming weeks, but in all honesty it appears that Hollywood wants us to go to the movies instead of enjoying our HDTVs. ...
