DEAL: Farscape: The Complete Series Blu-ray set is 50% off

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been setting aside a small pot of cash to hit up the inevitable windfall of Black Friday deals, set to make us all that much poorer in less than a couple of weeks time. Well, Amazon is clearly an impatient beast. Not satisfied to wait until the holiday sales to empty our wallets, the online e-tailer has cut 50% off the suggested retail price of the awesome-looking Farscape The Complete Series Blu-ray set, knocking it down to under $100 …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…

The Prisoner: The Complete Series Details, Press Release

I’ve said it before (in many posts!) and I’ll say it again – I loves me some Prisoner! Coupled with my love for Blu-ray, you can imagine how I’m just bursting at the seams to get this new Complete Series Blu-ray boxed set from A&E. Thanks to our friends over TVShowsOnDVD.com, we’ve got this full press release, detailing all the goodness that was Patrick McGoohan’s 17 episode long baby.

I can’t get over this. Look at the goodies we’re getting here: a feature length documentary, commentary tracks, remastered episodes! Hell, I’d shell out for this set for any ONE of those features! Read on for all the juicy details: …Continued…

[VIDEO] A&E's Pride and Prejudice Blu-ray Restoration Process

I just watched the restoration feature on the Godfather Blu-ray. Man, I love this stuff. Robert A. Harris is my hero. This guy goes above and beyond the call of duty to bring films back from the dead. If you’re not reading his regular column Yellow Layer Failure over at the best home video site on the planet, The Digital Bits, you might as well give up your high-def gear and go back to the land of 480i. And watching him in action on the Godfather disc, after reading about his efforts to restore films for so many years was a satisfying experience. And his work speaks for itself. The Godfather films look magnificent.

And A&E’s Pride and Prejudice, while not a project of Mr. Harris, looks to be in good qualified hands, if this little chunk of the Blu-ray’s restoration doc is any indication. I’ve read good things about the quality of this transfer. Seeing as how I’ll probably never see the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies edition of the film that I’ve been longing for, I might have to break down and pick this one up soon. …Continued…

The Prisoner Confirmed for Blu-ray in October

Remember when I was all excited about The Prisoner coming to Blu-ray in the UK? Yeah, well, that didn’t last long. Seems that publisher, Network gave the discs the kibosh pretty damn quickly. I mean, I’m sure they’ll turn up on a release list again in the near future but for now there isn’t a hint of ‘em.

So, imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered that A&E has made an early announcement that The Prisoner will be released on Blu-ray in North America on October 27th! Hot damn! Now, not only won’t I have to worry about import costs but suddenly any region coding will work in my favour. YES! (sorry, peeps across the pond) Sadly, no other information is given but you can bet we’ll see a port of the previously released DVD features and a handful of promotional pieces for AMC’s upcoming remake which should, coincidentally enough, be released around the same time as the Blu-ray disc set. …Continued…
