Tag: High Definition Optical Discs (Blu-ray and HD DVD)

As we reach Christmas week we hit another slow week as far as quantity of new releases, but the quality is there indeed. My pick is District 9, simply due to how great will look on Blu-ray and some pretty awesome special effects. But there’s plenty more to like from the releases. "500 Days of Summer" has received rave reviews […]

Raise your hand if you think this is in direct response to the biggest complaint of Netflix–their queue system for new releases and the dreaded "Very Long Wait." Kudos to Blockbuster for finally thinking of a unique way that makes sense to integrate their online capabilities with their nation wide chain stores.   Home Media Magazine "The idea is to […]

Not too many Blu-rays coming out today but there are a couple of great ones. Inglorious Basterds would probably have won out any normal week, being another fun (yet bloody) film from Quentin Tarrantino about a group of soldiers who become merceneries against Nazis. If you like Tarantino, you’ll like this one. The Mel Brooks Collection is a classic as […]

Wow do I love this idea. As if most of you weren’t already buying the super low priced movies from Amazon.com, this plan just makes sense and gives you yet another reason to buy from Amazon. I’m not sure why they would make it limited time offer though, so let’s hope they keep it around for a while. Now you […]

I know, I know, no internet connectivity and no bells or whistles…but if your mom and dad were about to spend $50 on a DVD player, wouldn’t you just recommend this little guy for a bit more?

I don’t know, will that stop any of you from just making your own ripped copies of your blu-rays? CE Pro BluScenes discs feature a simple […]

Healthy amount of choices this week, with the exception of "World’s Greatest Dad" which looks absolutely dreadful. The Harry Potters are probably going to do the best sales, but those familiar with my picks probably already know what my pick will be. One last note, you’ll see a sub-suggestion at the bottom of "Jack Brook’s Monster Slayer" as it actually […]

Hey everyone!! Blu-ray discs may soon have both blu-ray and DVD on the same disc!! For those familiar…yes…this is the exact same feature found in a lot of those good old HD-DVDs oh about 2 years ago…good thing features won out in that war. *sigh* HomeMediaMag “Universal’s flipper discs are the perfect way for consumers to future-proof their collections while […]

We have been spoiled the last two weeks with a flury of awesome Blu-ray selections, so it was about time we came back to reality with a slower week. Here are the picks… MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Funny People Although this movie is called Funny People, it is a very dark comedy. There were of course a fair amount […]
