Blu-ray Report: Death Race, Burn After Reading and More

Another brief and confusing week for the Blu-ray Report, my friends. Once again I’ve been stuck waiting on review material, sifting through useless extras and pounding away at the eggnog.

Blu-ray Report: The Mummy 3, The House Bunny and Many, Many More…

This week my Blu-ray queue is jam-packed with movies, some good and others, not so much. In fact, the “not so much” crowd seems to be dominating this week’s line-up with a series of comedy favorites and their lackluster special features.

Blu-ray Report: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Lost and More…

This is yet another exciting week for the Blu-ray lovers among us, and not just because we finally get The Dark Knight to watch on our HDTVs. We also get a great sci-fi classic and one of TV’s most beloved in glorious 1080p.

Another week gone by and another round of $35 DVD purchases await with the Blu-ray Report. Last week was a soft one, but the Blu-ray format comes roaring back this week with a few cool releases and some others with potential.

BD Report: Hancock, Meet Dave and Other Releases to Skip

This week is a very drab one here in the world of Blu-ray. Therefore I have chosen to pass on reviewing BD releases and just rip on some of these movies. Should be fun…

BD Report: WALL-E and Tropic Thunder Explode in HD

BD Report: WALL-E and Tropic Thunder Explode in HD

This week’s Blu-ray Report takes us all over the world, from the deepest parts of the universe to the jungles of Vietnam. It is fantasy and fun, silliness and absurdity — it is Pixar’s WALL-E and the ridiculous ride that is Tropic Thunder.

The Incredible Hulk Smashes Up Your Blu-Ray Player

The Incredible Hulk Smashes Up Your Blu-Ray Player

The Incredible Hulk is one of those movies — the kind that you should probably be buying on Blu-ray either way. Though, it would certainly be the laziest review of my career if I were to just chalk this up to ’see it because its in HD’, so I will attempt to break it down a bit.

Indiana Jones Cracks His Whip in Glorious 1080p

I did not count Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull among the BD releases that were sure to knock me off of my sofa. And it turns out, I was right and wrong, all at the same time.

Baby Mama, Leatherheads Find Infertility on Blu-ray

When you dive head first into the world of Blu-ray, as I have, you come to realize very quickly that the extra dollar isn’t always worth it. And these two releases are here to prove that theory.

Iron Man is the Blu-Ray Release You’ve Been Waiting For

Iron Man is the Blu-Ray Release You’ve Been Waiting For

There is a reason why they are calling this release the Ultimate 2-Disc Edition — it is pretty ultimate, indeed. I would also go as far as to give it another description, because it is perhaps the most definitive Blu-ray release of 2008.
