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…

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…

Zombieland Blu-ray Announced and Detailed

Another gem I missed out on in the theatres. I can’t wait to see me some Zombieland on Blu-ray but I’m baffled at how that Jesse Eisenberg gets himself in two films, back to back that are titled something-land: first Adventureland and now Zombieland! It almost feels like this might be a sequel. Now that would be cool! …Continued…

Dead Snow Blu-ray Disc Review

I’ve been lamenting lately the lack of “good ole” zombie movies. It seems everything in the last decade has been about stronger, faster, smarter and angrier zombies and , while I enjoy the hell out of most of them, it feels like a slow degradation of the genre, not an evolution. …Continued…

EINS! ZWEI! DIE! Zombie Film Fest Darling 'Dead Snow' comes to Blu-ray in the UK

Ok, I guess it’s officially Zombie day here on the The Blu-ray Blog, what with the Shaun of the Dead story and the Living Dead at Manchester Morgue announcement. Let’s add one more title then, shall we: the blood soaked, foot dragging, Heil Hitler-ing zombie-fest from Norway, Dead Snow.

I can’t wait to see this. It’s playing over the next few weeks here in Montreal at the Fantasia Film Festival. It’s been a big hit at every fest it’s played at, making a critical ‘killing’ (sorry) at Sundance. And now it’s on it’s way to Blu-ray. But only in the UK. Figures… …Continued…

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz come to Blu-ray in September

I’ve been a fan of SImon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s Spaced series for a long time. It’s a TV show about some of my favourite things – comics, videogames and zombies. Yeah, I’m a nerd. So, when their debut film Shaun of the Dead first came to the cinema, I was super-excited. I’m happy to say that I wasn’t let down by the film in the least. It’s so much fun to watch and crafted in the spirit of Spaced. In fact, it could almost play as a sequel of sorts.

Hot Fuzz, on the other hand, while also a lot of fun, left me a little cold. Ah, well. Can’t win ‘em all. I’ll be happy to give it another chance on Blu-ray in September, when both films will be released. …Continued…
