Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on Blu-ray
I’m an unabashed fan of Terry Gilliam’s work. I count Brazil amongst my all time favourite films. While I didn’t think The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was his best work, I did really enjoy it and am pleased to tell you that you’ll be able to get your hands on a Blu-ray copy of the film very, very soon. From the looks of things, however, it will be available in Canada, the US and the UK at different times, from different studios. I’ve got the info for Lionsgate’s UK release and Sony’s US version but the Canadian Blu-ray, which I’m assuming will come from E1 Films has yet to be announced at all. We will, of course, update this post when we know more. UK and US details below: …Continued…
Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of March 9
Man, I can’t escape those damn Oscars!! Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in…to writing about..them? (Sigh…I shouldn’t try to be witty or cleverly try to incorporate movie quotes into these intros, should I?) There are a couple of stand-out Hollywood titles here this week, both represented at the 82nd Academy Awards. Outside of those discs and an outstanding anime on Blu debut, this is a pretty barren week. It’s days like these that make me glad I didn’t decide to make this list a Top 10 every week. …Continued…
Universal Soldier: Regeneration Blu-ray Disc Review
Out of the fridge and into the fray! Van Damme and Lundgren both return, in this age of recycling, in Universal Soldier: Regeneration to discover that times have changed for the better. Regeneration revisits the franchise without re-hashing. The third official installment of the Universal Soldier films showcases the talents of a father-son team capable of bringing a movie franchise back from the dead. …Continued…

Original 1984 Karate Kid and Karate Kid Part II coming to Blu-ray
80s flashback!! As much as I enjoyed the original Karate Kid back in the day, I have to admit that I’ve always been a sucker for its sequel. From the picturesque Okinawan scenery, to the lovely Tamlyn Tomita, all the way to the awesome theme song by ex-Chicago singer, Peter Cetera (‘The Glory of Love’!!), I always felt that the second part of the story was a step up from the first. And speaking of stepping up, check out that height difference on Daniel-san between the two films! Wow! That kid really shot up between the end of the karate tournament and his ride back home. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited to have a chance to see these two films again, this time on Blu-ray. And I’m not at all sad that Sony isn’t releasing Part 3 and The Next Karate Kid along with them. Those two films are just pale imitations of the genius of Parts 1 and 2! WAX ON! …Continued…
Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of February 23
Another week, another bank-breaker collection of new Blu-ray releases! Thankfully for my pocketbook, while there may be a lot of titles hitting the shops today, there isn’t a lot I feel the need to grab up. As always, we appreciate any Amazon purchase you make through our links. They help to keep this column and the site alive! …Continued…
The Damned United Blu-ray Disc Review
I’m not into sports. And I generally don’t really care for sports movies. But for some reason, I really found myself loving every moment of The Damned United, a little British film about the downfall of a popular football team and their new manager. …Continued…
Zombieland Blu-ray Disc Review
If you don’t like a zombie movie, we can’t be friends. Slap an “…of the Dead” suffix on just about any film title and I’m there! Whether it’s high-grade Hollywood fare or low-rent, B-movie imports made on a shoestring and shipped over from Italy, I’ll watch just about anything with a staggering, lurching undead brain-eater in it. Joining the ranks of the best zombie action captured on celluloid is Sony’s recent Zombieland, a truly excellent adventure/teen-romance/zombie film captured on a truly excellent, feature packed Blu-ray! …Continued…
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Blu-ray Disc Review
I took one look at the lack-luster design work of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and wrote it off as uninspired pablum. Boy, was I wrong! This is one of the most genuinely entertaining animated films of 2009! And my niece and nephew are here in another video review to tell you all about it! …Continued…
Blu-ray Picks for the Week of February 2
Okay, this is just ridiculous. I can’t afford all of these discs in one week! I had no idea that February would be such a big release month. I thought March was going to be my bank-breaker and that I’d have another month to save up for the big titles but this week is going to make me reevaluate. …Continued…
Apple iPad misses the mark as HD-enabled living room tablet, media controller
That new Apple iPad is full of potential. I really want to want one but it feels like it’s just missing the mark by a hair. And that hair is going to keep this writer from buying. At least this year. …Continued…
Blu-ray Picks for the Week of January 26
I don’t know. I don’t think this is a particularly exciting week of Blu-ray disc releases. But who am I? There are a few neat titles, for sure. Hell, there’s something new again from Criterion! But none of these titles are really inspiring me to get out to the shops and buy today, if you know what I mean. Anyway, have a gander at what’s new and see if anything tickles your fancy. As always, we appreciate any Amazon purchase you make through our links. …Continued…

District 9 Blu-ray Disc Review
This was a shock. I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy District 9 as much as I did. Honestly, I think it was one of the best films of 2009. And, without question, it’s one of the finest Blu-ray discs available! …Continued…

Blu-ray Picks for the Week of January 12
Oh geez. I usually like to pick a top disc release every week. I usually like to be able to recommend a single title for you to pick up, you know, if you’ve got a tight budget, or just want to see the best of the best. But I can’t really do it this week. There are too many brilliant Blu-ray discs out this week! I’ll highlight a few of them but please comb through the whole list. There’s something for everyone here! …Continued…
Blu-ray Picks for the Week of January 5
Happy new year! I hope you managed to score a bevy of excellent films on Blu-ray over the last couple of weeks. I know I sure did. I was finally able to pick up the Black Friday orders I had placed with Amazon (I ship to my Aunt in Florida and pick up when I can. Shipping here to Montreal in Canada is waaaaay too expensive!) I’m pleased to say that my collection of Criterion Blu-ray discs has just multiplied by a factor of three! I’m very excited to crack into them.
But never mind the holidays, we’ve got a new year on our hands here and a ton of new Blu-ray discs, released only this week for our enjoyment. …Continued…
