Disney’s Cinderella: Diamond Edition coming to Blu-ray
I think we’re close to the end. Disney has made nearly all of their triple-A animated titles available on Blu-ray by now, with only a small handful of holdouts. One of the highest-profile films, Disney’s Cinderella, has finally been announced for an October 2nd release date which leaves what? The Little Mermaid? Aladdin? Peter Pan? I know there’s a bunch more but the likes of Robin Hood and The Black Cauldron just don’t seem top-tier to me. …Continued…
[VIDEO] The Rocketeer Blu-ray clips
The Rocketeer finally hits Blu-ray tomorrow! In honour of this, the film’s 20th Anniversary and it’s debut on the format, the studio has released a number of clips from the film. …Continued…
Spooky Buddies Blu-ray discount and clips
Our good pals over at Disney have been letting us know about their upcoming release of Spooky Buddies on Blu-ray, hitting shelves tomorrow. I don’t generally follow these sorts of films, but my little niece is a huge fan of this series. You might recall that she and her brother Max reviewed the first film, Santa Buddies way back in December of 2009. Pretty cute, no? So, in honour of her love of dressed up dogs we present the coupon below, good for $5 off the Blu-ray or DVD of Spooky Buddies. …Continued…
Super 8 Blu-ray announced and detailed
I’m still kicking myself for missing Super 8 when it was playing in theatres this past summer. It’s this year’s Scott Pilgrim for me – the film I kept making failed efforts to see. Hopefully it’s not going to take me a year to see J.J. Abrams‘ ode to Spielberg and sci-fi films of the ’70s and ’80s, as it did for me to finally see Pilgrim. Thankfully, Paramount is bringing the film to Blu-ray on November 22 to help me out. Thanks, guys! Looking forward to it! …Continued…
Farscape: The Complete Series coming to Blu-ray
Oh man, I have such fond memories of watching Farscape on TV years ago. When I saw the first promo spots for it back in ’99, I thought it looked like a joke. Space Muppet cable sci-fi series. Yeah, it seemed pretty lame. I wouldn’t be caught dead watching it. And then I visited my parents one afternoon and caught them well into an episode which they refused to switch off, despite my loudest protest. So, I sat through it with them. And I was hooked. I’ve been a fan since then. I’m ecstatic that A&E is bringing The Jim Henson Company‘s Farscape to Blu-ray in November but skeptical of the presentation of the episodes. …Continued…
Straw Dogs Blu-ray announced and detailed
When asked what Sam Peckinpah film is their favourite, I have a feeling that most folks lean toward The Wild Bunch. An awesome flik, to be sure. But I’ve always been more of a Straw Dogs kind of guy. There’s just something about the intensity of nerdy, pacifist Dustin Hoffman manning up and kicking the living crap out of the dicks who’ve made his life hell (my description of the plot goes pretty lite on the gory details.) Fox/MGM will be releasing the film on Blu-ray this September 6th in its longer “Unrated” cut that has been “carefully restored and is presented with all-new 5.1 audio.” With only a handful of extras included on the disc, I won’t be giving up my special-feature-packed 2-disc Criterion DVD set any time soon but I’ll be damn pleased to see this amazing film in 1080p on Blu for the very first time. …Continued…
Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy Blu-ray set coming in October
Will you look at that? We (and Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits) were right – the Jurassic Park Trilogy is indeed headed for store shelves this October. Universal has now officially announced the boxed set, along with a special Limited Edition Gift Set which includes a “custom T-rex dinosaur statue”. The discs will feature all the extras from the previous DVDs, so feel free to ditch them and make the upgrade to Blu. In addition, there will be digital copies of all three films and a couple of hours of bonus stuff newly created for this high-def release. …Continued…
Palisades Tartan announce 36th Precinct Blu-ray
Ex-police officer Olivier Marchal’s hard-hitting cop drama 36 Quai des Orfèvres was released in 2004 to great acclaim and multiple award nominations. The film, which stars Gérard Depardieu and legendary French actor Daniel Auteuil, has been kicking around on Euro and UK Blu-ray discs for some time now but we here in North America have had to do without…until now! Palisades Tartan have announced that a new Region A Blu-ray edition of the film, now titled 36th Precinct, will hit shops this June 14th. …Continued…
Sony announces Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray disc
Was Battle: Los Angeles any good? It totally blew in and out of cinemas before I even was even aware it had been released. I might have actually checked it out! You know, I really like Aaron Eckhart a lot and you could really do a lot worse than Bridget Moynahan. She’s pretty easy on the eyes. And from what I can tell, the film is chock full of alien-shooting action so, really, how bad can it possibly be? Guess I’ll find out when the film hits Blu-ray on June 14th. …Continued…
Official Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray September Release Date Revealed
It looks like 20th Century Fox wants to get you your Star Wars Blu-ray discs a week earlier than Amazon had predicted. Back in January, shortly after the announcement of the discs, Amazon posted a pre-order which was quickly updated to include a September 27th release date. Well, Fox and Lucasfilm have now officially set that date more than a week earlier, putting the discs on store shelves on Friday, September 16th. …Continued…
