[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…

LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace animated special comes to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ July 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Okay, I had no idea that LEGO was making TV specials now. This is kind of cool. My nephew plays the crap out of all of those LEGO video games on his XBOX 360. I’ve played a few myself and I’ve got to tell you, they’re way fun. Really well put together with a great sense of humour. From the look of the trailer above, the LEGO Star Wars special, The Padawan Menace, shows all the signs of capturing the kid-friendly mayhem of the games. …Continued…

Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Three Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ June 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was almost exactly a month ago that Amazon.ca leaked the package art and release date for The Clone Wars: The Complete Season Three Blu-ray set. Well, they got the art right but the date was actually a week off. Warner has officially announced the set for an October 18th release, with a collection of special features that mimic earlier sets. Expect further details in the near future, like the announcement of digibook packaging (I’m going to be pissed if they skimp out on the book this time!) and the non-revelation that the episodes are only encoded in compressed audio. …Continued…

Dreamworks‘ latest animated adventure Megamind follows faithfully in the successful footsteps of it’s progenitor, Shrek. It’s a fun, often funny superhero romp that has somehow suffered an unfortunate transfer onto Blu-ray. …Continued…

Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Complete Season Two Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ November 19, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

The Star Wars animated series, The Clone Wars makes me hate myself a little bit. My head tells me over and over again that Emperor Lucas‘ prequel films were all kinds of garbage and that these cartoons only frolic in his poisoned playground. Well, that playground must be filled with crack-rocks or something because I continue to be addicted to this show! …Continued…

Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Two Blu-ray set officially announced

By Brenden ⋅ May 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Despite my general dislike for the Star Wars prequels, I really enjoyed the Clone Wars: The Complete Season One Blu-ray set. And now, less than a year later we’ve got all the details for the follow up – the Complete Season Two on Blu-ray. Now, if you look closely, you’ll notice that the specs state that the discs will have lossless audio but don’t hold your breathe for that dream to come true. The first set was announced to have similar specs but shipped with a lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital track instead. We’ll know for sure when the October 26th release date rolls around… …Continued…

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ February 4, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

I took one look at the lack-luster design work of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and wrote it off as uninspired pablum. Boy, was I wrong! This is one of the most genuinely entertaining animated films of 2009! And my niece and nephew are here in another video review to tell you all about it! …Continued…
