Hugo Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ January 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Oh man, I can’t believe Scorsese’s Hugo has already been announced for release on Blu-ray. Didn’t it just make its theatrical debut a few weeks ago? I’m going to be gutted if I don’t get a chance to see it in 3D in the cinema, as this one was shot in the format and, apparently, takes subtle advantage of it. These shorter release windows are killing me. …Continued…

Chinatown coming to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ January 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

More great news! Paramount has announced that they’re finally ready to unleash Polanski’s finest film on Blu-ray. Chinatown, one of my favourite films of all time and possibly the best and most influential modern noir, makes its HD debut this coming April 3rd, complete with “a new high definition transfer” and a surprisingly robust set of special features that includes a three part documentary and a commentary track by screenwriter Robert Towne and – wait for it – David Fincher?! …Continued…

Kung-Fu Panda 2 Blu-ray coming next week

By Brenden ⋅ December 5, 2011 ⋅ One comment

When I first reported on Kung-Fu Panda 2 coming to Blu-ray way back in July, there were only a handful of pre-order hints about the disc lingering around the fringes of the internets. Well, now that we’re just over a week away from its official release on October 13th I thought I’d post the full feature list, found below and the nifty, detailed trailer above. I’ve got the disc in hand and will have a full review for you early next week. I’m really looking forward to diving into it. …Continued…

Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray in 2012

By Brenden ⋅ October 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been rumoured for a while now, but this past week, Paramount and CBS finally confirmed that Star Trek: The Next Generation will be making its way to Blu-ray in 2012! Just in time to celebrate the series’ 25th Anniversary, the entire run of 178 episodes is being transferred to HD from the original negatives, recut to resemble the original broadcast versions with digital special effects, “painstakingly recompositioned, not upconverted from videotape.” This is incredible news and an unbelievable undertaking by the studios. A four-episode “preview” will be released in January to show off the studio’s work and to tease the full season sets that will begin shipping later next year. It’s a pretty good time to be a Trek fan, that’s for sure. …Continued…

[VIDEO] Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ September 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Heyyyyy. Remember how once upon a time we had all the details and art for the Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray releases and then BAM, they were gone? Yeah. Those are the pains of having early info but being friendly with the studio and the studio really not wanting that info to get out into the wild yet. So, I pulled the story. And every other site ran with it. Sigh… Well, now that the Blu-ray has officially been announced, I’ve brought the old story back and I’m now clear to post this trailer, which actually shows a decent amount of behind-the-scenes clips from Captain America as well as from the upcoming Joss Wedon film, The Avengers. The Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray hits shelves on October 25. …Continued…

Super 8 Blu-ray announced and detailed

By Brenden ⋅ September 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m still kicking myself for missing Super 8 when it was playing in theatres this past summer. It’s this year’s Scott Pilgrim for me – the film I kept making failed efforts to see. Hopefully it’s not going to take me a year to see J.J. Abrams‘ ode to Spielberg and sci-fi films of the ’70s and ’80s, as it did for me to finally see Pilgrim. Thankfully, Paramount is bringing the film to Blu-ray on November 22 to help me out. Thanks, guys! Looking forward to it! …Continued…
