Yes, that's right, this week's releases are so weak that we actually have the box art from 'The Pink Panther 2' on the right there. Unlike last week this week doesn't even have any solid TV shows to help hold it up. No, there's not much to talk about now, so catch up on all the Blu-ray movies you haven't seen yet, or you might just consider going outside, the beach maybe? The Pink Panther 2 ...

Up this week is a big ol' slew of TV shows and catalogs, but that's ok because we're very excited to see the first season of our favorite shows on Blu-ray: 'Lost.' But as much as we love it, we're still waiting on the super all inclusive complete season box set, and since it'll probably cost a small fortune, we'll be saving up in the meantime. That isn't the only great show coming to Blu-ray this ...

What an improvement from last week's unimpressive slate. Not only do we have a few day-and-dates like Defiance and' He's Just Not that into You', but we also have the greatest Blu-ray demo disc since 'Planet Earth' from the BBC in the way of' Nature's Most Amazing Events' -- yes they are very amazing, but we still prefer the original name 'Nature's Great Events'. But that's not all, as we are also ...

What an easy week to decide which new releases is the most anticipated as 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' finally goes Blu. Although that is the biggest title, Paramount didn't stop there as it released the second season of the hot TV show 'Dexter' as well as some all time classics like 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' and 'Grease.' Sony has a few catalogs this week as well, but nothing we're ...

It's a slow week for blockbuster new releases, but it's a big week for catalog titles. So rather than focus on the new day-and-date movies like 'Splinter,' we will take a look at the awaited older titles. One that we really enjoyed the first time around is '8 Mile,' but there is also 'Mean Girls' as well as 'The Last Kiss.' More documentaries are making their way to Blu-ray and one of our favorite ...

There's little doubt that the best title this week is 'Slumdog Miliionaire,' after all it did winner Best Picture. But this is also a week of classics -- and we aren't using that word loosely here either -- as Fox has 'South Pacific' (1958) and Warner has 'Gigi' (1958) and 'An American in Paris' (1951). Also of note is the 10th anniversary edition of 'The Matrix', which more importantly is the ...

We like weeks like this when there is little doubt what the biggest title is. In fact we'd go as far as to call this the James Bond week with MGM releasing the latest addition to the franchise with the 'Quantum of Solace,' as well as some of our favorite classics like 'Goldfinger 'and 'The World Is Not Enough.' Also this week Universal has 'The Fast and the Furious Trilogy' box set -- although ...

Just as expected, things are starting to turn around already and movies worth seeing are once again hitting the shelves. First up is 'Transporter 3.' We don't expect it to be the best movie ever, but it should be entertaining. Next up is another title from Disney's vault, 'Pinocchio' -- which should be interesting for a few reasons. Another animated title worth a look this week is the hilarious ...

Just when we thought there wasn't another comic book movie this holiday season until 'The Dark Knight,' along comes 'Hellboy,' which we somehow forgot about. It's available both in regular and extra geeky, the latter will set you back another $20, but while both include a digital copy, only the Collector's Edition includes a scary looking figurine and we're not sure what else. Also this week, ...

This could be the weirdest week of releases we've seen to date, because there are like 20 titles released (15 mentioned below) but not one that we are really interested in. If you can't wait for Christmas movies, then Warner has 'Elf' and the 'Essential Holiday Collection' which also includes 'Elf' and other Warner movies like our favorites -- which were previously released -- 'National Lampoon's ...

The fourth quarter continues to hit on all cylinders for Blu-ray this week with yet another nice slate of titles. At the top of the list is two pretty good movies, 'Sweeney Todd' and 'The Incredible Hulk.' When Johnny Depp stars in a Tim Burton flick, it is almost always worth the cost of admission and at the same time, Edward Norton tries his hand at being the Hulk, and considering how bad the ...

Blu-ray's incredible fourth quarter of new releases continues this week as some of the biggest blockbusters of the summer debut. The biggest title this week is very easily 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', with almost no other day-and-date release coming in second. The other big news this week is all the HD DVD catchup titles from both Warner and Universal, the biggest of which is easily 'The ...

There are a few day and date releases this week, but we don't think any of them are the biggest title of the week. Sure 'Sleeping Beauty' doesn't fit in the Blu-ray demographic, it does mark a significant milestone in Blu-ray's path to replacing DVD. In fact it marks the very first Disney Classic to be released on Blu-ray, which we're sure will help more than one father convince his wife they need ...

We are finally getting our first Summer blockbuster in time for the holiday season, after some rumors of delays, as 'Iron Man' is set to hit the shelves tomorrow. This is the first title to be released in some time that is expected to once again raise the Blu-ray bar and be the best selling titles to date. But this isn't the only news this week, for starters Discovery has its latest title, 'When ...

With September finally nearing to a close, we are finally starting to see some big titles on Blu-ray. The biggest of those this week is arguably the biggest catalog title of all time, 'The Godfather'. Some have even stated that the fact that Paramount brought the historic series to Blu-ray in half the time it took for it to come to DVD, is proof that Hollywood is really putting all its weight ...
