Inception Blu-ray officially announced and detailed

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.

I was finally able to pick up the Black Friday orders I had placed with Amazon (I ship to my Aunt in Florida and pick up when I can. Shipping here to Montreal in Canada is waaaaay too expensive!) I’m pleased to say that my collection of Criterion Blu-ray discs has just multiplied by a factor of three! I’m very excited to crack into them.

But never mind the holidays, we’ve got a new year on our hands here and a ton of new Blu-ray discs, released only this week for our enjoyment. …Continued…
