Welcome to the first edition of The Blu-ray Patrol, my fancy new weekly column that is about to turn your home entertainment world upside down and color it blu.

The man behind shows such as “Gossip Girl” and “The O.C.” is coming to the silver screen not with a teen rom-com filled with angst, but with mutant kids attending Xavier’s academy for the gifted.

While internet buzz hasn’t quite reached forest fire proportion the way it did at the peak of Cloverfield’s reign, news of a possible sequel did ignite a spark which reached a steady glow in the back of the mind of many a modern movie fan.

Welcome to FSR’s newest weekly feature in which I break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of what Hollywood has to offer.

Brian Gibson loves to buy DVDs. Come with him on his weekly journey into the depths of credit card debt as he tells you what to buy, rent and avoid.

Again — the best movie doesn’t always win the box office. Perfect example: Meet the Spartans.

“One fast-moving, roller coaster of a movie.”

In plastic, at least. Hasbro Toys has announced that they’ll be making a whopping 14″ version of the Cloverfield beastie which will go on sale on September 30th of this year.

Cloverfield made $41 million at the box office this weekend and killed the competition, just as we all thought it would.

We feel obligated to ask…

Cloverfield director Matt Reeves talks to us… Seriously. All we want to know is if he can introduce us to the monster…

Save yourselves the time of digging through message boards this evening — we know whats up!

Well, the first highly anticipated film of 2008 is out, and everyone wants to know whether it lives up to the hype. The answer… sort of.

So we are in New York City, and the date is 1-18-08. You know what that means right? Yes, Cloverfield comes out today…but more than that. It means that last night was Rob’s Surprise Going Away Party thrown by Myspace.
