More Blu-ray movies dated

One of our big-brother sites, Engadget, sends word that more shiny Blu-ray goodness is headed our way as major studios continue to pump out the hits. Previously announced at CES, several titles are now street dated and off to the top-secret Blu-ray duplication center on Kamino. Here's what to expect:

Turistas (April 17)
Chicken Little (March 20)
Finding Neverland (March 20)
King Arthur (April 3)
G.I. Jane (April 3)
The Pursuit of Happyness (March 27)

Another interesting tidbit is that there now appears to be more Blu-ray releases scheduled in February than there are HD-DVD releases scheduled for all of 2007. I'm all over Finding Neverland when it hits... that film is beautifully shot (and, no, I didn't cry. Not that much anyway.)

[Edit: Spelling of Happiness in "THe Pursuit Happyness" is intentional. Yeah, go figure.]

Not to nit-pick, but the Pursuit of Happyness is spelled with a 'y'. Yep, its retarded but it's Will Smith - what do you expect?

Cool, I've been hooked on Blu-ray since I bought my PS3. I have 12 so far and I'm looking forward for The Departed next week :). As far as these releases go, I'll probably get Chicken Little, Finding Neverland, The Pursuit of Happiness. Thanks for the update, and keep them coming.

Still no interesting titles. *sigh*. All the good movies aren't recent enough to see an HD benefit. =\

Blu-ray is about all this black taco is good for (for now).

Debbie Does Dallas Again! - (March 28)

Well, this "black taco" at least has some use right now (high def movies and PS2/PS1 games), unlike Xbox 360 when it launched. Man, the games sucked so hard, and no backwards compatibility (well, the only good game was halo anyway). The only entertaining thing was geometry wars until Dead Rising came out. Hopefully everything will change for PS3 now that Oblivion, Tekken and Virtua Fighter are coming out. Somebody tell sony to hurry with warhawk, lair, singstar, eyedentify, killzone, white knight story, heavenly sword, and so on.

Can't wait for the Spider-man trilogy to come out in BD!

Well, if you check out the movie (Pursuit of Happyness), you would understand why it is spelled with a Y and not an I, and you would also see that Smith gives a very good performance, one worthy of an oscar nomination.

Incidentally, it's because the school/Daycare he takes his kid to is in an Asian neighborhood and the wall next to the door has a painting on it that has the word Happyness painted on it. It's just an example of Engrish.(look it up on Wikipedia if you don't know what it means)
