Hereafter Blu-ray Disc Review

By Howard ⋅ March 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I can’t tell you what will happen when you die, but I can tell you what will happen when you watch Hereafter. You will see another film by a living legend who makes films based on topic rather than the overall story. Three people, in three stories, from three countries, with one common thread: death and whatever comes next. A fascinating topic, but the unfolding of the story is a touch un-touching. …Continued…

Coen Brothers’ True Grit coming to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ March 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

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…

Invictus Blu-ray Disc Review

By Howard ⋅ July 5, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Clint Eastwood films generally have more than a little of a documentary feel to them, and Invictus is no different. He takes a piece of little-known history and, in his way, gives it the resonance deserving of the type of story that it is: Inspiring. …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of June 22

By Brenden ⋅ June 22, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

This is an overwhelming week of Blu-ray releases if I’ve ever seen one! What’s a film fan and disc collector to do when faced with so many options? My first reaction – grab up the new Criterion discs. Second – the restored classics. After that, if I’m not in the poor house already – the best of the rest. This week is a poor-house week, if ever I’ve seen one… …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of May 18

By Brenden ⋅ May 19, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

This week is a no-brainer for me, as the number one pick is one of my all time favourite films! The rest of the Blu-ray discs out this week are a bit of a mixed bag, though, with some decent, new Hollywood fliks (and some truly awful ones), some catalogue titles and a couple of pretty decent anime releases. …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of May 4

By Brenden ⋅ May 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

This might not be the biggest, most overwhelming release week of the year but there are a couple Blu-ray discs here that any serious collection simply can’t be without. And everything else this week somehow seems lesser as a result. That’s not to say the other films aren’t worth watching but when you’ve got two behemoths of cinema vying for your attention as these discs are, it’s tough to validate giving their competitors even the slightest regard. But then again, there’s Snake Plissken on Blu-ray. What’s a nerd to do? …Continued…

The Informant! Blu-ray Disc Review

By Brenden ⋅ March 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Informant! isn’t your everyday, run of the mill whistle-blower film. Oh no. Director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Burns have crafted a masterful, dark comedy from the real-life drama surrounding an insiders attempt to bring down big-business Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and the ensuing fallout of the investigations and trials. No, really, it’s a comedy. It’s funny! That’s why there’s an exclamation mark! …Continued…
