The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ March 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Much like the groaning, lurching undead creatures themselves, the zombie genre refuses to lie quietly in it’s grave. AMC‘s The Walking Dead series proves that there’s some life left in the old carcass, producing a thrilling, if flawed, six-episode season that looks and sounds great on Blu-ray. …Continued…

I haven’t seen the show or read the comic books but I understand that The Walking Dead is some of the best Zombie stories the genre has yet produced. And this trailer for AMC‘s upcoming Blu-ray set of the series’ first season appears to bear that out. Can’t wake to take a bite (sorry!) out of this bad boy when it rises from the grave this March 8th! …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of August 31

By Brenden ⋅ August 31, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Well, it’s not really the strongest week of new Blu-ray releases but given that it’s the end of summer and nobody wants to launch a film at the lowest sales-point of the year, I’m not terribly surprised. That said, we’re beginning to see boxed sets of last years TV seasons crop up in anticipation of their upcoming 2010 network debuts which will lead us into the veritable explosion of titles through September and October. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Ghost in the Shell 2.0 Blu-ray Trailer

By Brenden ⋅ October 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Just like the video says, we’re going to be seeing Ghost in the Shell 2.0 on Blu-ray and in stores October 26th. Unless the video is wrong and Amazon is correct. In which case, we’ll be seeing it on November 24th. Pay close attention to the newly created CGI footage that director Masamune Shirow has cut into the film. I’m not sure if it blends. If it works. But it looks pretty slick! …Continued…

Ghost in the Shell, Blood: The Last Vampire on Blu-ray in November

By Brenden ⋅ September 16, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Oh, wow! This is exciting. It seems that director Mamoru Oshii has reworked/remastered a bunch of scenes for his original film Ghost in the Shell, which is to see re-release on November 24 in a new 2.0 version, along with Blood: The Last Vampire on Blu-ray. I was never a huge fan of either of these films but concede that they are both visual feasts. Cool design. Great animation. Flawed scripts. Perhaps the 250 scenes-worth of reworked story and image will make me reevaluate my take on Ghost in the Shell. Check out the ads for both discs: …Continued…
