Ninja Assassin Blu-ray Disc Review

For everything that Ninja Assassin does right it manages to get a couple of things wrong. That’s not to say I didn’t have a good time watching it. It’s super fun, filled with ridiculous, gory-grindhouse martial arts action and stars Sho Kusugi as the evil ninja master! Sho Kusugi fer chrissakes!! …Continued…

New Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series Blu-ray Package Art, Half-Price Sale

It was just over a month ago that we told you all about the reissue and repackaging of the Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series Blu-ray boxed set. This new box packs the same old content into a newer, slimmer package that will fit on your shelf, as opposed to the last version which was so big and bulky that it could double as a house for your cat. This new version also includes the straight-to-video film, The Plan, which was released after the old set was issued. But you know all of this already, right? And you’ve probably already seen this updated package art, right? What you want to know is how to get this new edition of the BSG box set on the cheap. Well, let me tell you how… …Continued…

Park Chan-wook’s Vengeance Trilogy Blu-ray Details

As we told you in our January post, Palisades Tartan is bringing Park Chan-wook’s brilliant Vengeance Trilogy to Blu-ray. While we were very excited to break this news, there was still some question about the contents of the set. It’s now come to light, a mere week before the discs are meant to street at Best Buy (who reportedly have the exclusive until June) that this will only be a 3-disc boxed set, not the 8-Disc set that was rumoured previously. In addition, the list of special features has been updated and includes the wonderful three-hour video diary “The Autobiography of Oldboy“, an incredible addition to the set. Updated details below: …Continued…

Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on Blu-ray

I’m an unabashed fan of Terry Gilliam’s work. I count Brazil amongst my all time favourite films. While I didn’t think The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was his best work, I did really enjoy it and am pleased to tell you that you’ll be able to get your hands on a Blu-ray copy of the film very, very soon. From the looks of things, however, it will be available in Canada, the US and the UK at different times, from different studios. I’ve got the info for Lionsgate’s UK release and Sony’s US version but the Canadian Blu-ray, which I’m assuming will come from E1 Films has yet to be announced at all. We will, of course, update this post when we know more. UK and US details below: …Continued…

Spielberg’s War of the World Blu-ray Announced and Detailed

Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds started out pretty great, if you ask me. It felt like it was going to be a ramped up version of Close Encounters, which is pretty far from a bad thing. However, after a solid half-hour or so of teasing with well structured scenes, with well written, well performed characters, the film seemed to me to devolve into cheap, modern action fare. I really wanted to love it but ultimately felt a bit let down by the film. That was a lot of years ago now. And I think I’m finally willing to give it a second chance. War of the Worlds comes to Blu-ray on June 1st! Details below: …Continued…
