Blu-ray Picks for the Week of September 29 – The Wizard of Oz

By Brenden ⋅ September 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

What a huge release week filled with amazing titles! Sadly, I haven’t gotten my hands on a single Blu-ray disc yet so I can’t out-and-out recommend any of them from personal experience. But if I had to put my money on any one of these titles being a spectacular and worthwhile purchase, I’d have to bet on The Wizard of Oz: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition. …Continued…

The Dark Crystal Blu-ray Details Confirmed

At long last, we have a final confirmation of all the details of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s upcoming The Dark Crystal Blu-ray release!

It was over a month ago that the UK version was officially announced (which we covered here) but at the time, there were no official details available for the disc nor any information on a North American Blu-ray disc.

I’m still curious about the much-rumoured sequel, The Power of the Dark Crystal, directed by Genndy Tartakovsky of Samurai Jack fame.

All right. Bring it on. I’m a fan of this film. At least, I think I am. I haven’t seen Labyrinth in years but I have such fond memories of it – of the creatures, the Bowie tunes, the Jennifer Connely – and memories never lie, right? RIGHT? Uhhhh…

Ok, so I’m kind of dreading watching this again. I’m pretty sure a lot of Labyrinth won’t hold up for me, unlike the Henson Company’s Dark Crystal (which will always be genius) But as much as I fear the experience I’m equally as excited to revisit this film. And the details for the upcoming UK release are just stoking the fire! I think we can safely assume that the North American edition of Labyrinth will mimic the UK, including an identical rich feature set. Even if the film itself fails to please me, the commentary, making-of doc and picture-in-picture features will provide me hours of nerdgasm. I can’t help but wonder if any of the extras will address the mystery of the Bowie-package… …Continued…
