I’m not a fan of triple dips, but MGM and Fox Home Video have done an amazing job on the newly released James Bond Blu-ray set. I was generally skeptical about this dip because I already own three different versions of all the Bond films. But these Blu-ray versions are the definitive set. The picture […]

BLU-RAY NEWS: Firefly comes to Blu-ray this fall.
I love Joss Whedon and I loved the Serenity movie. But for some reason, I could never get into the Firefly TV Series. The pilot episode puts me to sleep every time I’ve tried to watch it. Maybe if I watch it Hi-Def, that’ll make the difference. Fox Home Video is bringing the complete series […]
BLU-RAY NEWS: Daredevil Director’s Cut comes to Blu
I never understood the vitriolic hatred fanboys had for the Daredevil movie and the irrational loathing of Ben "Mumbles" Affleck. Yes, they took a lot of liberties with the material. Colin Farrell and Jennifer Gardner were terrible. But then I never liked Colin or Jennifer. But I thought the film maintained the basic tone of […]
BLU-RAY NEWS: Planet of the Apes Collection coming in the Fall
Goddamn, dirty Apes. They blew it up!!!! Aargh!! I’m a little annoyed at the moment. A few days ago, I ordered the Planet of the Apes DVD Collection on Amazon because they had it (all the movies) at an unbelievable price of $24. Today, I get an email from Fox saying that Apes are coming […]
BLU-RAY NEWS: Bond Goes Blu this fall
I think the James Bond series has to be one of the worst when it comes to triple dipping. But I’ll give them a break this time, because who doesn’t want to see Bond go Blu? Six classic James Bond films are heading to Blu-ray this fall. According to the press release. It’s weird getting […]
BLU-RAY PREVIEW: Young Frankenstein Goes Blu.
If your Blu and don’t know where to go to. Put it on the Ritz. The classic Gene Wilder comedy Frankenstein comes to Blu-ray October 7, 2008. I love this movie and the folks at MGM are giving this Blu-ray release the care it deserves. Check out all the great features on this disc. And […]
HIGH DEFINITION – Forget Blu-ray. Fox goes Boo-ray!
I apologize for being a little lax on updating this weekly column, but I’ve been busy putting the final touches on the upcoming EM Book. But wow, what a way to come back. The folks at Fox Home Vide are bringing a slew of their Horror classics to Blu-ray (or as they call it Boo-ray, […]
Wham! Bam! Biff! Its Blu-ray Batman!
The Classic 1966 Batman movie is coming to Blu-ray, July 1st. But Fox is crazy, they are charging $40 bucks for this. I think my rant about the price of Blu-ray Discs going up and not down has been proven basically true. Since I don’t own this on DVD, I would seriously be tempted to […]
Alien vs. Predator – Requiem: Extreme Unrated Special Edition: An Early Look at the DVD!
"Alien vs. Predator: Requiem" is the darkest tale to be spun out of the twin horror franchises. Dark doesn’t mean moody, or complex, or any of the interesting qualities affixed to the word. It’s dark as in poorly illuminated. How dark? Entire sequences go by in a black blur, with only an Alien screech here […]
Blu-ray Tuesday Continues
Other notable Blu-ray releases this week. Include Fox’s amazing new Hit Man DVD. The DVD includes Fox’s way cool new Digital Copy technology. So not only do you get the Blu-ray disk, but you can also rip a copy of it for your portable digital media player. I honestly haven’t tried this yet, I’ve […]
Independence Day on Blu-ray!
The fine folks at Fox Home Video (can you tell they sent me a nice little package this weekend) have a block buster Blu-ray Tuesday this week releasing several of their big Sci-fi titles. Including one of my favorite – cheesy films of all time Independence Day. When I first bought my 60 inch HDTV […]
