Green Lantern Blu-ray Disc Review

Green Lantern is a whole mess of missed opportunity. What could have been a killer first salvo in Warner‘s next franchise attack on the hearts, minds and wallets of the movie-going public has turned out to be a dud, due to some tragic missteps in craft and casting. And while the Blu-ray offers a lot of value and a powerful lossless soundtrack, the transfer on this bad boy just doesn’t cut the mustard. …Continued…

Green Lantern Ultra Violet Digital Copy video

The much derided Green Lantern film from this past summer will be released on Blu-ray next Friday. Along with it (and the October 11th release of Horrible Bosses) comes Warner‘s initial foray into the world of cloud-based content – Ultra Violet. The Green Lantern Blu-ray will contain a code to verify that you’ve purchased the disc, which will then allow you stream the film from Ultra Violet onto any device at any time. Or, at least, that’s how it seems it’s going to work. Check out the Green Lantern promo video above for a look at the service and visit uvvu.com for more details and to sign up. …Continued…

Green Lantern on Blu-ray in October with Extended Cut

I’ve never been a big fan of Green Lantern but I had really high hopes for this film for a number of reasons. I mean, I really want to see DC and Warner succeed in bringing their entire stable of superheroes to the big screen. But honestly, after GL, I’m not sure they’ve got it in them, unless they’re able to get out of the way and trust the filmmaking to an auteur with a vision. Green Lantern is a mess, from poor casting decisions to one of the most sloppy, choppy screenplays to come out of Hollywood this year. And yet still, their are visuals in the film that make it worth a look. For that reason alone, it could make a fun Blu-ray experience. The film is set to hit Blu-ray on October 14th, in two combo-pack editions – one with 3D and one without. …Continued…

2010 Clash of the Titans Remake on Blu-ray in July with Green Lantern movie Sneak Peek

Isn’t Clash of the Titans still playing in theatres? It really feels like these films are moving too quickly from the big-screen to the home-screen these days, doesn’t it? To tell you the truth though, in most cases, I’d just as soon watch them in my living room anymore. And it looks like I’ll get a chance to see this remake of Clash when it hits Blu-ray on July 27th, complete with a preview for next summers DC Comics superhero film, Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds! …Continued…

Green Lantern: First Flight Blu-ray Disc Review

I couldn’t help but think of Law and Order: SVU while watching Green Lantern: First Flight. And not just because the lead character is voiced by Chris Meloni, one of the cops on the hit NBC show. But because the take on the character and the group he belongs to is such that we’re meant to perceive them as being an intergalactic police force, patrolling the cosmos and protecting life from galaxy to galaxy. Cool concept. And it works. …Continued…

Green Lantern: First Flight Blu-ray – Executive Producer Bruce Timm Interview

Warner Home Video has forwarded another Green Lantern related interview on to yours truly. This one’s a biggee. It’s with the “man” himself. The creator of the DC Animated Universe as we know it. The man responsible for the Batman and Superman animated series, Justice League and all Warner’s direct to video superhero extravaganzas:

More Interviews for upcoming Green Lantern Animated Blu-ray: Juliet Landau and Alan Burnett

Warner Home Video has sent over another couple of interviews to promote their upcoming direct-to-video release, Green Lantern: First Flight (on Blu-ray July 28) I wouldn’t normally go in for the idea of just posting promo material outside of release news but I actually feel quite strongly about these animated DC Comics films. I think everyone involved is pushing themselves and their budgets to the limit to bring us the most compelling animated representations of DCs vast library of characters and stories. The Burnett interview in particular is of interest to comics fans and anyone curious about the process of adapting other mediums to the big (or small) screen.

Upcoming Animated DC Universe Blu-ray: 'Green Lantern: First Flight' Trailer and Interview, 'Superman/Batman: Public Enemies' Trailer

I can’t hide my dirty secret any longer – I’m a comic book nerd. I love seeing my old-favourite DC Comics heroes on the big screen. I also love animation. Warner’s DTV plan to hit us with an original superhero film a couple of times a year is kind of blowing my mind! It’s like getting chocolate in my peanut butter every six months. And the new trailer for upcoming fall release Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, posted above for your drooling pleasure, is extremely chocolaty!

Also blowing my mind is the fact that Warner Home Video was kind enough to send over this interview with Lauren Montgomery. She did a bang up job on their last release, Wonder Woman (which won a favourable review from The Blu-ray Blog). I expect Green Lantern: First Flight to be equally as solid. Check out the trailer that follows! …Continued…
