Sheldon beat me to posting the news that the Star Wars Blu-ray Set is now available for Pre-order on Amazon. So how about this, here’s a clip of the official Blu-ray Trailer!

A movie that transcends the ability to properly review it, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is finally out on Blu-ray. I’m sure phrase, “It’s so bad it’s good,” was invented for this movie. Sure Ed Wood probably set that bar, but The Rocky Horror Picture Show; well, there are very few words that can describe the campy good time you can have watching this movie. Most people used to criticize the music of the show, or were too ashamed to admit how good it actually was.
Ok, good may be a stretch, but I’ve always personally loved the music. I mean come on, “Touchy, Touchy, touch me, I want to be Dirty!” The CBS Television show – The Closer pulled off an absolutely amazing episode dedicated to The Rocky Horror Picture show. That’s how culturally significant the Rocky Horror Experience is/was in pop culture. If that’s not enough Glee did a themed Rocky Horror Episode a few weeks ago.

As promised, a bells & whistles release of James Cameron’s AVATAR will be in stores just in time for the holiday season. AVATAR: Extended Collector’s Edition [3-Disc Blu-ray, 3-Disc DVD] hits store shelves on November 16th. This edition includes three versions of the film [theatrical, extended theatrical and Collector’s Extended Cut] and two audio tracks [original and Family Audio Track – no objectionable language] – plus a swak of bonus features.
Details follow the jump.

The much anticipated Alien Anthology Blu-ray release gets a trailer! I own the DVD Box set, so I don’t know if I’m willing to double dip for the Oct. 26 Blu-ray release especially when it retails for $139.00 ($97 at Amazon), but this trailer definitely whets the appetite and I’m assuming the Blu-ray set will have a lot of cool exclusives.

This is a very easy Blu-ray review to write. It’s taken me a few weeks to review the biggest selling Blu-ray release of all time because the people at Fox Home Video are slick hucksters. The did not send out review copies of this until after the Blu-ray hit the retail stores, making us sort of irrelevant to the process. I’ve made my feelings on Avatar perfectly clear in my original review, but to sum it up I thought it was just Ok and the Imax 3D sucked. I really didn’t get what all the hoopla was about.

Avatar made over $2 billion at the box office but that’s not good enough for James Cameron and the people at Fox. As predicted the stripped down Home Video debut of Avatar in April will be followed up by a beefed up Special Edition in November and the 3D Version of the film sometime next year. So that’s already three planned Home Video releases for a movie that’s all sizzle and no steak. The April release will include a special code that will let users view Bonus Content online – which is incredibly dumb and in honor of earth day you can get a virtual tree. How encouraging people to play with Virtual Trees instead of planting real ones is beyond me, but then hey that’s the entire point of Avatar where everything was fake. Not only that but isn’t producing 3 separate releases worse for the environment than just waiting and giving us one decent version? If you want to be even more cynical check out the self aggrandizing press release after the break.
