The Devil’s Double Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ November 22, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Devil’s Double is, without a doubt, Dominic Cooper‘s movie. Though the daring script and stunning visuals will attempt to curry your favour and convince you that they are the true stars, Cooper’s portrayal of both protagonist and antagonist, hero and villain, truly steals the film. On the Blu-ray disc, however, the stunning transfer and soundtrack come a close second. …Continued…

The Devil’s Double coming to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ November 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you the Blu-ray release of a film where Iron Man‘s daddy plays the evil twins of Saddam Hussein. Well, okay, he doesn’t really play twins in the film, I just liked the way that sounded. Dominic Cooper stars in The Devil’s Double as both the late dictator’s son Uday “The Black Prince” Hussein and the man hired to double for him, Latif Yahia. It’s a true story and a film that received some critical acclaim. Looks pretty good to me. Lionsgate hasn’t released a final list of technical details on this Blu-ray yet though it’ll be available in a only a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it! …Continued…

Warrior Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ November 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve heard from my critic pals that Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior is something like the Footloose of fighting films – cheesy and melodramatic but oddly satisfying. I don’t know about you but I don’t need anyone telling me anything about the film beyond the fact that it’s got young Uncle Owen in the ring with the evil Romulan clone of Captain Jean Luc Picard (aka notorious Batman back-breaker Bane!) to sell me on this bad boy. I’m in! I’ll be grabbing it up on Blu-ray when it hits store shelves on December 20th. …Continued…

Hesher Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ October 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I was disappointed in Hesher not because of the kind of a film it is but because of the film I thought it would be. Kind of ridiculous, I know. The merits of the film itself itself might be arguable but the quality of the Blu-ray disc is beyond reproach. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Jackie Brown Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ September 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re a couple of weeks out from finally getting our hands on Blu-ray versions of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. Lionsgate posted their humourous Pulp Fiction trailer a couple of weeks ago and have now made available the one above, pimping the Jackie Brown disc. I’ve got my fingers crossed that these discs are going to deliver, with modern, film-like transfers and thumping clear lossless DTS tracks. We’ll know for sure on October 4th! …Continued…

[VIDEO] Funny Pulp Fiction Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ August 31, 2011 ⋅ One comment

We, the ticket and Blu-ray buying audience, always appreciate seeing that the studios understand how we feel about their films. With that in mind, it’s nice to see this new video from Lionsgate, which accurately sums up our feelings about the obscenely long wait for Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction to finally make its Blu-ray debut (in stores October 4th.) Check it out! …Continued…

The Crow Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ August 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Despite being a comic book nerd, I was never a huge fan of Alex Proyas‘ 1994 film The Crow, adapted from James O’Barr‘s books of the same title. The movie looks great and there’s no denying the awesomeness of the late star of the film, the tragically-taken-too-soon Brandon Lee, but at its core this simplistic revenge story is just a little thin. That said, it’s become a cult classic and one of the films from the Miramax catalogue that folks have been dying to own on Blu-ray. …Continued…

Coppola’s The Conversation coming to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ August 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It occurs to me that I freak out about a lot of movies, claiming this one or the other is my favourite, or in my top 5 of all time list, or something. But honestly, I really do feel that way. I really am that passionate and in love with these films. I only bring this up because I know I’m about to say it all over again in reference to Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation. Hand on my heart, it’s honestly one of the best films ever made. One of my favourites. In my top 5. For reals. And now it’s heading to Blu-ray, from the same team who gave us last year’s nigh-on perfect Apocalypse Now Blu-ray releases. I can’t breathe. This is all too much. This actually might be the Golden Age of Blu-ray, as Bill Hunt claims it to be… …Continued…
