Cave of Forgotten Dreams Blu-ray Disc Review

By Chris ⋅ November 20, 2011 ⋅ One comment

I like to have my mind blown. When I saw Cave of Forgotten Dreams in theatres a while back my mind got severely blown. Werner Herzog’s 3-D journey into the Chauvet cave documents some of the most amazing art on the planet. It left me speechless. 30, 000 year old cave art rendered in amazing 3-D amplifying all the contours of the caves took my breath away. I would have been amazed had contemporary artists crafted such masterpieces. Needless to say, I was excited about the Blu-ray release. …Continued…

Hesher Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ October 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I was disappointed in Hesher not because of the kind of a film it is but because of the film I thought it would be. Kind of ridiculous, I know. The merits of the film itself itself might be arguable but the quality of the Blu-ray disc is beyond reproach. …Continued…

The Complete Scream Collection Blu-ray Disc Review

More often than not, we Canadians get the shaft. Some of you folks below the 49th have taken to referring to our country as “Can’t-ada”, which is actually not that far off the mark, considering how many film releases and services we miss out on, up here. But sometimes things actually work out in our favour. Like in the case of The Complete Scream Collection Blu-ray Disc set, which includes all four feature films along with an extra disc containing two feature-length docs. With the films split between US distributors down south, this is a package that can only happen way up here in the great white north! …Continued…

[VIDEO] Jackie Brown Blu-ray trailer

We’re a couple of weeks out from finally getting our hands on Blu-ray versions of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. Lionsgate posted their humourous Pulp Fiction trailer a couple of weeks ago and have now made available the one above, pimping the Jackie Brown disc. I’ve got my fingers crossed that these discs are going to deliver, with modern, film-like transfers and thumping clear lossless DTS tracks. We’ll know for sure on October 4th! …Continued…

Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown heading to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ August 1, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It’s happening. It’s really happening. The two Tarantino films you never thought you’d see on a domestically released Blu-ray (well, not anytime soon that is) will finally be arriving in stores this coming October. Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction will make their high-def debuts sporting newly remastered transfers complete with lossless audio (format yet to be revealed) and most, if not all, of the previously available special features. Sounds pretty great! …Continued…
