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

Coming to a Redbox [hopefully] near you! It’s really no surprise that Redbox is going nationwide with its $1.50 Blu-ray rentals, at every step along the way of its Hollwood dealmaking, the company has pointed out its aim towards procuring a supply of high definition movies, and now the day is finally here. The high definition disc packing kiosks currently […]

Considering my family are some of the biggest Library renters ever, I shouldn’t be surprised by this…and yet I am. I haven’t been to a Library for a while, but man their movie selection used to be pretty awful. Of course, you can grab a bunch of DVDs at once. I don’t know, still impressive, I just wonder if it’s […]

I know there are some Stargate fans out there, so SGU-1.5 is probably of interest there. Fan Boys is somewhat of a cult comedy from a few years back about a group of Star Wars fans on a road trip, it has its moments. La Boheme certainly has its audience as well. I was seriously contemplating selecting Rambo the collection […]

So Blockbuster is going down the tubes, but they at least saved enough pennies to throw one more slimeball the way of Netflix and Redbox, promoting the 28-day waiting period in a commercial. I can’t even think of a comparable company ever doing something like this, but MAN it comes off quite slimey in my opinion.   

A couple good picks this week. I saw The Runaways, and it’s definitely not for the traditional faint of heart, but if you’re a fan of Joan Jett and the 70’s style of rock music it’s worth a look, but I was pretty surprised to see Dakota Fanning in her role as the band’s leading singer–she’s not exactly a child […]

These types of articles are always intriguing to me, seeing how my tastes on what would make for a great demo compare to professional dealers. Not that they always know best, but I can’t disagree with any of their top 10 picks here. Still partial to The Fifth Element chapter 24, which offers excellent audio with the subtleties of the […]

Remember when there would actually be more than one new release every week? It’s been a while, so I don’t blame you if you don’t either. Either way, there are some good older movies this week. Also of note, I can’t remember a week with this many titles that won’t be available initially through Netflix…just a notice. MissingRemote’s Pick of […]

These types of weeks kill me, so I’ll keep it short…. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Brooklyn’s Finest I honestly haven’t seen this yet, but it’s got a fairly star studded cast. Who can pass up any Wesley Snipes movies these days as long as Vampires aren’t out trying to kill him? Just kidding, but seriously, this week’s selections are […]

Wow, I can’t remember any other week with this many Blu-ray releases of which I barely recognized any of them. I saw Beautiful, that was a pretty entertaining and messed up movie. But the pick is obvious… MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Hot Tub Time Machine Plot is simple–4 buddies enter a hot tub only to be transported back in […]

Last week treated us to a lot of good offerings, new and old. This week is decent as well. For starters, Death Race 2000 is an entertaining oldie but goodie featuring the late, great David Carradine…the pre-Jason Statham version. She’s Out Of My League had such potential, but I found it underwhelming to say the least, although still worth a […]
