[VIDEO] Funny Pulp Fiction Blu-ray trailer

By Brenden ⋅ August 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a 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…

Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown heading to Blu-ray

By Brenden ⋅ August 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s happening. It’s really happening. The two Tarantino films you never thought you’d see on a domestically released Blu-ray (well, not anytime soon that is) will finally be arriving in stores this coming October. Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction will make their high-def debuts sporting newly remastered transfers complete with lossless audio (format yet to be revealed) and most, if not all, of the previously available special features. Sounds pretty great! …Continued…

By Brenden ⋅ April 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Universal will be bringing Terry Gilliam‘s brilliant, surrealist social commentary Brazil to Blu-ray this coming July 12th. That’s right. Universal, not Criterion. Need I say more? Sigh. …Continued…

By Brenden ⋅ February 14, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It looks like my hope that the special Sony/Criterion relationship that allowed for the BSS Story boxed set to exist has indeed born fruit! Sony has announced today that it’s April 5th release of the Taxi Driver restoration on Blu-ray will actually include Criterion’s classic laserdisc commentary track by director Martin Scorsese and writer Paul Schrader! …Continued…

There have been a fair number of classic and very important films announced for release on Blu-ray this year already, though we’re only twenty-eight days into 2011.

Machete coming to Blu-ray in January

By Brenden ⋅ November 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve heard tell that Robert Rodriguez’ Machete was best left as a trailer. I’m not so sure about that. But I can’t argue that the concept (and superstar killer, Danny Trejo) does indeed make for great clip-age. I didn’t get a chance to see the film in theatres but I’m pretty stoked to check it out on this upcoming Blu-ray from Fox. The press release the studio sent me was pretty lite on the details so I’m assuming we’ll learn more about the disc as we draw nearer to its release. Expect to see the usual Rodriguez supplements tacked onto the BD – commentary, 10-Minute film school – as well as a host of featurettes. …Continued…
