Scarface coming to Blu-ray in September

By Brenden ⋅ March 24, 2011 ⋅ One comment

I’ve never been a fan of Brain De Palma‘s Scarface but hold it in the highest regard for what it offered cinema at the time and pop culture through the decade that followed. Hell, without Scarface we never would have had Miami Vice! I can hardly imagine a world without Crockett, Tubbs and the music of Jan Hammer. Universal has announced it’s plan to bring the seminal ’80s film to Blu-ray this September 6th in a couple of limited editions, a steelbook package that includes the original 1932 film and one quite pricey version that includes “an elegantly hand-crafted Scarface-themed humidor” that clocks in at almost a grand! That’s a lot of chedda’! Details below: …Continued…

Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of September 7

All right, this week is completely out of control! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many quality titles released at one time. Especially by a single studio! Warner Home Video must be trying their best to set a record here! They alone have something like twelve or thirteen titles newly available today. Have the holidays come early or something? Crap.

After all this time, years spent avoiding the film on DVD, HD-DVD and cable, I’ve finally been able to see Stardust on Blu-ray. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait! …Continued…

Paramount finally bringing Stardust to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ June 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve been waiting for Stardust to be released on Blu-ray for what seems like an age. I was so upset to have missed out on seeing it in the cinema but dead set against picking it up on home video at the time it was initially released. You see, it was only released on DVD and HD-DVD. And, though I had yet to purchase my PS3, I knew it was in the cards for me. I was already a Blu-ray guy, way back then. So, it’s with great relief to me that Paramount has finally given in and announced the impending release of Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess’ Stardust. It better live up to all my pent up expectations…or else! …Continued…
