By Brenden ⋅ December 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

“These aren’t just Blu-rays. This is a legacy that will knock your other discs off the shelf!” That’s some kinda declamatory statement those Sony boys are making about their two upcoming Mariachi Trilogy Blu-ray releases. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of chutzpah they actually have when they’re released this coming January 4th! …Continued…

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…

Complete Grindhouse Collection Blu-ray in October, disc details emerge

By Brenden ⋅ July 25, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

It looks like IGN‘s Blu-ray reporters have nabbed the inside scoop on the layout and special features of the upcoming Complete Grindhouse Collection Blu-ray 2-Disc set. And let me tell you, it looks pretty sweet. But be warned, as “Complete” as the set might claim to be, it is missing one vital piece of the Grindhouse puzzle – Machete is nowhere to be found! That’s right folks, as Machete is no longer only a faux-trailer, and exists outside of the Grindhouse collection as a full-fledged feature film in its own right, Vivendi Entertainment and The Weinstein Company have yanked it from the playlist. Outside of that one glaring omission, everything seems to be in order here. I’m just curious how compressed the films are going to be, now that they’ll be squished together onto one disc. Time and review screeners will tell… …Continued…

Complete Grindhouse Collection Blu-ray coming soon?

By Brenden ⋅ July 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

This has been a long, long, long time coming! Those of us who are fans of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ Grindhouse films have been waiting since the formats inception to finally get our dirty mitts on an Ultimate Collector’s Boxed set of both films and the trailers that originally screened between them during the initial theatrical run. Japan got such a set on DVD a few years back but we, on the other side of the Pacific have had no such luck. Well, it looks like things are finally about to change… …Continued…
