This is some damn-hot news! I don’t have a lot of time on my hands to wax rhapsodic about it today, but I’ve got to let you know that Amazon has just listed Sofia Coppola’s brilliant Lost in Translation for release on Blu-ray this December 7th!! I’m so stoked! That’s right – I just wrote the word “stoked.” That’s how out-of-my-mind this news makes me. …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of June 8

By Brenden ⋅ June 8, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Not a bad week on Blu, if I do say so myself, despite the fact that there are far fewer discs shipping this week than last. The top pick is an obvious one here but maybe not the most exciting high-def release today. For some reason I always seem to find myself having greater anticipation for obscure catalogue titles than the shiny new blockbusters. Perhaps it’s because newer work is almost always guaranteed to look and sound brilliant on Blu-ray, whereas it’s always a thrill to re-experience an old favourite well mastered in 1080p! …Continued…

Blu-ray Comedy from Warner: Vacation, European Vacation, Caddyshack, What's Up Doc?

Playing catch up here, with a ton of upcoming release announcements. This post, focusing on a group of comedies coming up from Warner Home Video. I’ve never seen Bogdanovich’s What’s Up Doc? but I generally love his work, so I’m really looking forward to checking out the Blu-ray. The other three films are family favourites – films we watched so many times we nearly wore out our old VHS tapes, back in the day. Caddyshack is out in June, with the two Vacations and Doc coming in August. Details below: …Continued…

Fantastic Mr. Fox Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ March 29, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I really misjudged Fantastic Mr. Fox. The previews and advertisements gave me the impression that it would turn out to be a poorly designed and hollow animated adaptation of a reasonably famous children’s book. I was drastically wrong on both counts. This film and its Blu-ray presentation are beyond good. They’re…ahem…Fantastic! …Continued…

Fantastic Mr. Fox coming to Blu-ray in March

By Brenden ⋅ January 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Despite my love for the films of Wes Anderson there’s just something about this Fantastic Mr. Fox film that didn’t appeal to me when it was released. Maybe it was the hype surrounding it or the feeling that it was another trendy adaptation of a kids book aimed at the hipsters of my generation. As a result, I didn’t end up seeing it in the theatres. And now I regret missing it. Thankfully, I’m going to get another chance on March 23rd, when Fox brings it to Blu-ray!
