It’s another Tuesday with another handful of great Blu-ray releases. In the mix this week we’ve got a comic book adaptation, a couple of fantastic PTA fliks and another incredible release from the Criterion Collection. As always, making a purchase through our Amazon links keeps The Blu-ray Blog on its feet and we thank you for every single one!
Whiteout stars Kate Beckinsale and is an adaptation of a fantastic comic book by Greg Rucka and Steve Leiber. I just got the disc in the mail today and am excited to check it out! I’m listing it as my pick of the week on the strength of the comic book alone. I’m really hoping that the film measures up…
I’ll watch anything with Ricky Gervais. Hell, I even checked out the Golden Globes this year!!. I hate award shows with a passion but man, his brief moments at the podium made the whole affair worthwhile. What really gets me excited about The Invention of Lying (aside from the interesting concept) is the fact that it not only stars Gervais in the lead but is also co-written and co-directed by the man! If this film isn’t funny or rewarding in some way I’ll be shocked! SHOCKED, I say!
I’m a big fan of Paul Thomas Anderson. And I really, really love both Boogie Nights and Magnolia. And while both films have been available on Blu-ray for the last little while, they’ve both been retail exclusives, only sold through particular outlets. Well, today they’re free!! No, not free to purchase, but free to be sold anywhere and everywhere! So hop on over to Amazon and treat yourself to some PTA!
Amazon: Boogie Nights – $19.99, Magnolia – $18.99
What can I say? It’s a Criterion release. You should buy it, if you know what’s good for you!!
