Paramount finally bringing Stardust to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ June 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve been waiting for Stardust to be released on Blu-ray for what seems like an age. I was so upset to have missed out on seeing it in the cinema but dead set against picking it up on home video at the time it was initially released. You see, it was only released on DVD and HD-DVD. And, though I had yet to purchase my PS3, I knew it was in the cards for me. I was already a Blu-ray guy, way back then. So, it’s with great relief to me that Paramount has finally given in and announced the impending release of Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess’ Stardust. It better live up to all my pent up expectations…or else! …Continued…

Upcoming TV and Animation on Blu-ray from Warner Home Video: Friends, DCU Animated, Scooby Doo, more

By Brenden ⋅ April 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Every now and then, Warner Home Video throws open its virtual doors and allows their executives to participate in an online “chat” with consumers. These sessions generally involve a lot of requests for TV shows and films that are either steeped in legal issues, in really desperate need of an expensive remaster/restoration or so niche that there’s barely an audience to warrant distribution. That’s another way of saying that most of the stuff we ask for gets shot down. This past Monday, the Home Theatre Forum hosted another chat with WHV, this time with execs from the TV and Animation divisions. The full transcript is available to read here but we’ve culled the pertinent Blu-ray news from the lengthy document so you don’t have to wade through it yourself. …Continued…

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, an intelligent, well performed, well animated direct-to-video feature, is perhaps the crown jewel in the library of DC Comics’ cartoon movies. It manages to tell a fun little superhero tale packed with action and character in an all-too-brief seventy-five minutes. Yet, as wonderful as it is, it’s almost overshadowed by the sheer bounty of compelling bonus features on the extra-packed Blu-ray disc! …Continued…

Warner Home Video releases first images from DC Showcase animation short "The Spectre"

By Brenden ⋅ January 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Hot damn! This is what I like to wake up to – the first official images from Warner and DC Comics’ new animated short, The Spectre! While the pics and the accompanying info in the press release don’t contain much new information, it is nice to finally sneak a peak at the short. I’m really digging the character designs, from what little we can see here, in the three images provided and I have high hopes for the Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) script. The Spectre will be distributed February 23 by Warner Home Video as part of the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Blu-ray/DVD. Here’s what Warner Home Video has to say about the short film: …Continued…

It’s Saturday morning. I like to have a coffee (and pie, if it’s available) and watch a few cartoons before starting my day. Sadly, there’s not much on the old tube these days that holds my interest. Thank goodness for this collection of episodes from the first season of The Super Friends! …Continued…

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ October 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

You know I’ve got a soft spot for these DC Comics animated adaptations. I’ve given fairly positive reviews to the two previous efforts – Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight. So you’re probably expecting more of the same from my review of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies on Blu-ray disc. And you’d be right! …Continued…
