Monty Python and the Holy Grail Blu-ray in March

By Brenden ⋅ January 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

One of the bestestest and funniestest flicks ever made is coming to Blu-ray in just over a month’s time. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is probably the least likely film to benefit from a transfer to high-def but I’m anxious to see what Grover Crisp and his wizards over at Sony digital can do with the muddy, low-def elements of the 1975 no-budget comedy film. It’s a favourite of mine and if it can benefit from the format, I’ll be the first to trumpet that fact to the world. …Continued…

UPDATED! Attack the Block Blu-ray available for pre-order, ships in October

By Brenden ⋅ September 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I really enjoyed Attack the Block. It’s a solid little indie film that’s got a very contemporary Goonies feel to it – if the Goonies were little London thugs defending their neighbourhood from nasty aliens. While Sony has yet to announce the release of the film on Blu-ray, Amazon has listed it for pre-order, without, of course, any details or release date. Thank goodness for the e-tailer’s Canadian counterpart, Amazon.ca, who have the Blu-ray scheduled for release on October 25th, with a suggested retail price of $35.99 CAN. We don’t have any package art or any idea what supplemental material Sony will include on the disc yet but it’s fairly likely their release will mimic the UK Blu from Optimum. …Continued…

Sony announces Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray disc

By Brenden ⋅ May 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Was Battle: Los Angeles any good? It totally blew in and out of cinemas before I even was even aware it had been released. I might have actually checked it out! You know, I really like Aaron Eckhart a lot and you could really do a lot worse than Bridget Moynahan. She’s pretty easy on the eyes. And from what I can tell, the film is chock full of alien-shooting action so, really, how bad can it possibly be? Guess I’ll find out when the film hits Blu-ray on June 14th. …Continued…
