It’s another wallet-killer this week, folks! Between these pre-holiday releases and the incredible Black Friday Blu-ray deals on offer at the moment our poor bank accounts don’t stand a fighting chance.
This is a pretty strong group of titles this week. But after watching the review screener, I’d have to recommend heading straight out to pick up a copy of Angels and Demons. I’ll get my full review up as soon as I can but let me tell you in brief how shocked I was with this film. Not because of the subject matter. I was more surprised that I actually really enjoyed watching it! I’m far from a fan of screenwriter/hack Akiva Goldsman but man, he and director Ron Howard really delivered this time. And the Blu-ray disc looks like a million bucks too! Great work and a really great Blu-ray package.
Also take note, there’s a new Criterion release this week. I didn’t get a review copy but I will be heading out to pick up the Gomorrah Blu-ray disc as soon as I get a free moment. You’ll do the same, if you’re even the slightest bit a cinephile. Gomorrah is the best mafia film made this decade!
Speaking of the mob, Tony Soprano and family are back on Blu! Season One of The Sopranos is finally available in high-def and should be on everyone’s gift list. The disc set doesn’t feature any new or updated content but the high-def upgrade makes the Blu-ray version worth every penny!
