Tron: Legacy, the long awaited sequel to the original 1982 film, was released on Blu-ray this past week in a variety of configurations. I had a chance to screen the 5-Disc combo pack which includes the new film on 3D and 2D Blu-ray discs, along with DVD and Digital Copy versions.

Check out a quick demo in the preview video above. Tron: Legacy and Tron: The Original Classic arrive in stores on April 5th. …Continued…
Paramount Pictures has announced that it will bring the Coen brothers’ adaptation of True Grit to Blu-ray this coming June 7th, packed to the gills with all sorts of goodies ranging from featurettes on period weapons and costumes to an exclusive look at the photography of the film. It’s a shame we’ll never see a commentary track from the brothers because I’d give my left arm to hear them gab about putting their trademark spin on the original material. …Continued…
All right! It looks like Tron Blu-ray news is beginning to come in all fast and furious-like, with pre-orders for several disc configurations of Legacy and the original flavour showing up on Amazon along with some package art, special feature listings, a nifty “Limited Edition Identity-Disc” package and a possible April release date.

I went to see Tron: Legacy with my nephew on my birthday last month and, I’ve got to tell you, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the film. It looks and sounds phenomenal!
