Boardwalk Empire coming to Blu-ray in January
Boom goes the dynamite! Justin over at High Def Disc News just got the scoop on the Boardwalk Empire Blu-ray release we’ve all been waiting to hear about. The January 10th release date that’s been circulating for the past week or so is confirmed, as is the standard HBO feature set. So, I guess the only big mystery here is why the studio is waiting until January to get this into stores, completely missing out on the Second Season launch of the series as well as the holiday buying season. …Continued…

The Big Lebowski Limited Edition Blu-ray detailed
It looks like we had that August 16th release date correct! Universal has officially announced that date and the details of their upcoming Big Lebowski Blu-ray. This limited edition release will feature a brand spanking new transfer of the film, a 28-page book and brand new special features, along with all the old extras from the previously available 2-disc Anniversary DVD.

Amazon.ca has spilled the beans that we can expect Universal to release the Coen brothers’ 1998 film The Big Lebowski on Blu-ray this coming August 16th.

Criterion Collection to bring Zwigoff, Clowes’ Ghost World to Blu-ray in 2011?
If you read my recent review of The Criterion Collection release of Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb on Blu-ray, you’re no doubt aware of my passion for comic books. And it just so happens that one of my all-time favourite comics is Daniel Clowes’ brilliant Ghost World, adapted into a film by Zwigoff in 2001. Well, the news of the day, as far as I’m concerned is that we might just be seeing the film starring Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson on Criterion Blu sometime next year, if Zwigoff has anything to say about it. …Continued…
Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of June 15
I’m kind of desperate to rush out and grab up my number one pick this week. It’s such a profound favourite of mine that I can barely think about any of these other titles as a result. Ah hell, let’s just dive right in… …Continued…
Top 5 New Blu-ray releases for the Week of May 4
This might not be the biggest, most overwhelming release week of the year but there are a couple Blu-ray discs here that any serious collection simply can’t be without. And everything else this week somehow seems lesser as a result. That’s not to say the other films aren’t worth watching but when you’ve got two behemoths of cinema vying for your attention as these discs are, it’s tough to validate giving their competitors even the slightest regard. But then again, there’s Snake Plissken on Blu-ray. What’s a nerd to do? …Continued…
Armageddon Blu-ray Disc Review
You probably won’t believe this but until a couple of nights ago I had never watched Armageddon. I had successfully managed to avoid Michael Bay’s most famous ode to machismo and Americana for over a decade. It figures that it would take the new Blu-ray release of the film to finally break me down and force me into a screening. And after all was said and done, the film failed to leave me breathless…but it did render me speechless. …Continued…
UPDATED: Paramount brings Saving Private Ryan, Escape from L.A. and K-19: The Widowmaker to Blu-ray
Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers have become a single entity in my mind. I have a hard time recalling what events, what story-points are covered in which film/show. Both the film and the series have the same creative teams at their core and feel very similar, from the way they were shot to the music behind them. That being said, I’m a big fan of both. And very excited to tell you about Paramount’s upcoming Sapphire Series release of Saving Private Ryan, timed to be released just days before V-E day. …Continued…
