Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of December 7

By Brenden ⋅ December 7, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Well, this isn’t the most overwhelming Blu-ray release day of the year but there are certainly some incredibly drool-worthy new titles out in shops today. Titles so amazing, in fact, that I’m going to be forced to place my top 3 picks this week all in the number-one slot. They are all must-own discs and I simply can’t rate one above the other!! …Catalogue…

Inception Blu-ray officially announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ October 14, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I’ve been sitting on this news for a few weeks, since the last Warner press event but now that it’s is out there, it’s fair game. Christopher Nolan’s Inception, one of my favourite films of this last year, is due for Blu-ray Combo-Pack release here in North America on December 7. Note that the discs “Extraction Mode” is a version of Warner’s excellent “Maximum Movie Mode” and will offer some sort of picture-in-picture experience with over 90-minutes of bonus content from director Nolan and star Leonardo DiCaprio. …Continued…

Inception Limited Edition Blu-ray detailed

By Brenden ⋅ September 7, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I wouldn’t consider myself a wild or devout fan of director Christopher Nolan’s work. But goddamn did I ever love his most recent film, Inception! I know, I know, it’s far from perfect. There are a lot of elements of the script, the visuals and the direction that I would take issue with if I didn’t find the overall package so damn effective. And, to be honest, subsequent to seeing it on the big screen I’ve come to realize that a lot of my passion for the film begins with the wonderful score by Hans Zimmer. I’ve got it on my iPhone and listen to it regularly. So, for me, this is one of the most anticipated new Blu-ray releases of the year. And it looks like we’ll only have to wait until December to get our hands on it. …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of July 13

By Brenden ⋅ July 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

All right, I’m going to be straight with you here. I haven’t seen a single one of the films being released on Blu-ray this week. This is rare. Either I went out of my way to avoid these movies when they were in theatres (The Bounty Hunter) or was just too swamped to make it out to a screening (Chloe, In Bruges, Greenberg, etc…) Also unusual is that I wasn’t sent a single review copy for films out on Blu this week. So, in honour of my ignorance, I’ll list the films in order of my desire to see them, whether they’re actually worth watching or not. …Continued…

New Dark Knight: Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray coming soon?

By Brenden ⋅ June 18, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Do you see that video up above? That’s a clip from a new Dark Knight featurette called “Truck Flip”, detailing one of the practical effect shots from the film, with director Christopher Nolan and special effects supervisor, Chris Corbould narrating. This featurette is not included on the Blu-ray edition of the film that you probably already own. And it’s only a part of a package of 31-minutes of brand new, never before seen bonus content, only just revealed. Could this mean that Warner is preparing one of their Ultimate Collector’s Edition box sets for the film? …Continued…

Walmart to get Exclusive, Longer IMAX Version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ October 7, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

No way! Come on! I may not have cared a whole hell-of-a-lot for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen but I think after Michael Bay’s comments about his longer IMAX cut of the film and his love for Blu-ray we all thought that the disc would end up being something special. Well, it turns out that only SOME of the Blu-ray disc versions of the film will be special. And you’ll be able to buy them at Wal-Mart for a premium price, of course. …Continued…
