[VIDEO] The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ January 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Can you believe this? To this day, I have yet to see a single film in the Twilight series. It’s true. So the trailer above means very little to me. Nor does the release of the Blu-ray disc of the penultimate film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. It’ll be on store shelves in a few weeks, which I take to mean that the final installment of the series will be hitting cinemas shortly thereafter. At this point, I think I’m just going to wait ’till this whole things is wrapped up before I dive in and experience sparkling vampires for myself. …Continued…

[VIDEO] The Hangover Part II Blu-ray Trailer

By Brenden ⋅ November 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Was I, like, the only thirty-something guy in North America who didn’t think The Hangover was the best comedy of the last few years? I’m sure I wasn’t alone, but it feels like it at times. My ho-hum feelings about the original film led me to skip out on catching the sequel in the theatre. I understand it brought in a lot of cash for Warner but was universally panned by critics. Can’t say I’m surprised by either result. But what I am surprised by, is that I’ve hit a sufficient point of Hangover de-saturation that I’m now ready to dive into the sequel. I guess my sour feelings have passed and I’m in the mood for sophomoric man-comedy. The Hangover II Blu-ray hits shops next week, on December 6th. Check out the Blu-ray trailer above. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Three Reasons: Three Colors: Red – The Criterion Collection

By Brenden ⋅ November 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I warned you several days ago that the Blog was going to be crazy with posts about Kieślowski’s Three Colors trilogy and I wasn’t kidding! The Blu-ray set hits shops today and I’m fairly certain it’s going to win a place in my top releases of the year. I’ll talk more about it in the weekly new release post so in the meantime, until I get that finished up and on line, check out this last of Criterion’s Three Reasons videos for the trilogy, focusing on the final chapter, Red. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Three Reasons: Three Colors: White – The Criterion Collection

By Brenden ⋅ November 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been scant few days since I posted the first of Criterion’s Three Colors videos and they’ve already hit us with their second. The studio is clearly ramping up to next week’s release of the three-disc boxed set which, I have a sneaking suspicion, just might be the Blu-ray collection of the year. But I can’t say for sure at this point, as I don’t have it in my grubby, little hands yet. I am, however, camped out at my mailbox as I write this, waiting, with fingers crossed, that it will turn up today, to avoid a weekend of pathetically staring at a blank screen, imagining how great these incredible films might look in 1080p. There’s got to be statement in there about the human condition, right? …Continued…

[VIDEO] Three Reasons: Three Colors: Blue – The Criterion Collection

By Brenden ⋅ November 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I hope you’re all ready for me to not shut up about this boxed set for at least the next couple of months because I don’t think there’s anything more exciting coming along before the end of the year than the Three Colors box from Criterion. To get you in the mood for the November 15th release, the studio has released a Three Reasons video for the first film in the trilogy, Blue. Expect to see videos for White and Red pop up over the next week. This Blu-ray release is going to be so good! SO GOOD!! …Continued…

[VIDEO] Three Reasons: The Phantom Carriage – The Criterion Collection

By Brenden ⋅ October 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Though it’s filled with ghoulish imagery, The Phantom Carriage feels more like a New Years film to me, than a spooky Halloween treat. Perhaps because it takes place on New Year’s Eve. Yeah, that’s it. It’s a terrific, haunting film and one of my favourite Criterion Blu-ray discs of the year so far. See Criterion’s Three Reasons to own the disc in their new trailer, posted above. Read the many reasons I recommend it in my full review, linked to below. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ October 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Harry Potter home video releases have been in the news this past week, with Warner announcing that all titles will be put on a brief moratorium come December 29th. The final film in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, hits Blu-ray next week, on November 11, giving you a window of less than two months to grab it up before it’s gone. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Disney’s Cinderella: Diamond Edition Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ October 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I can’t wait to see the new Gossip Girl version of Disney‘s Cinderella. If the trailer above is any indication, all the classic music in the film has now been replaced with the contemporary soundtrack of on-screen teen lust – all rebellious guitars and triumphant cymbal-crashes. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Finding Nemo Blu-ray Trailer

By Brenden ⋅ October 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

At long last, it looks like Finding Nemo is on it’s way to Blu-ray. It’s about time too, as it’s the last Pixar film to be released on the format. No release date or details yet but the trailer embedded above has made its way onto the internets, promising we’ll see some Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich fishies in HD sooner rather than later. The best guess, at the moment, is that the disc will hit around the time of the films big-screen 3D release, next September. Okay, I guess that’s kind of later than I’d like. But, you know, at least we’re not talking about 2013 here! …Continued…

[VIDEO] Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ September 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Heyyyyy. Remember how once upon a time we had all the details and art for the Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray releases and then BAM, they were gone? Yeah. Those are the pains of having early info but being friendly with the studio and the studio really not wanting that info to get out into the wild yet. So, I pulled the story. And every other site ran with it. Sigh… Well, now that the Blu-ray has officially been announced, I’ve brought the old story back and I’m now clear to post this trailer, which actually shows a decent amount of behind-the-scenes clips from Captain America as well as from the upcoming Joss Wedon film, The Avengers. The Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray hits shelves on October 25. …Continued…
