X-Men: First Class Blu-ray announced and detailed

I enjoyed the heck out of X-Men: First Class when I saw it in the cinema last month. It’s like a film where James Bond is teamed with super-powered mutants fighting evil super-powered mutants during the cold war. If Bond happened to be played by the amazing Michael Fassbender and has the power of magnetism! Awesome! I expect that the Blu-ray, just announced by Fox for a September 9th release (a Friday!) will be equally as awesome. …Continued…

1990 Captain America coming to Blu-ray in New Director’s Cut

I recall being pretty enthusiastic about Albert Pyun‘s Captain America film way back in 1990, produced hot on the heels of Warner‘s hit Batman and riding a wave of superhero-film excitement. I was enthusiastic, that is, until I sat through a screening of it. Urgh. What a low-budget turd. This is a film so bad that no creative editing, no CGI enhancements could possibly improve it. But that’s not what Pyun thinks. According to io9, the director is preparing a brand new Director’s Cut of the film, based on “my own 35 mm CA work picture and temp mix [that] I did before I left [the] picture.” And lucky for us, this new cut of the film will be on Blu-ray in May, just in time to take advantage of Marvel‘s upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger flik due in theatres this summer. …Continued…

1987 Animated G.I. Joe: The Movie Blu-ray Details, Special Features Announced

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s now official! Shout Factory has issued a press release with all the details of their upcoming Blu-ray edition of the classic 1987 animated G.I. Joe: The Movie! You know, the one where Duke was supposed to die but in a last minute change to please parents he was miraculously revived? Or rather, you may remember it as the very silly film that introduced the Cobra La crew of flying, slithering and chanting snake people into the franchise mythology. Either way, I’m sure you recall that it wasn’t very good, outside of the fun and very dynamic title sequence. Would that the animation and vibe of the film itself could have lived up to those initial three minutes (see above video!) That said, I’m excited to watch it again for the first time in years. This time in glorious HD and in 16:9 Widescreen! Thank you, Shout Factory! Details below: …Continued…

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Official Blu-ray details announced

All right. I know. I’ve posted most of this stuff before. But you see, most of that news was either speculation or condensed information. But this is the real deal, straight from the horses mouth. According to Fox, you can take it to the bank that this is the final word on X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The confusing bit for me is that there’s no hint of the alternate cut that director Gavin Hood mentioned to Home Media Magazine last week, and that we reported on only days ago. Maybe it’s an Easter Egg. …Continued…
