Blu-ray movie releases for the week of June 4

by Colin Torretta { Jun 4th 2007 at 5:30PM }

This week's Blu-ray movie releases offer up a trilogy of Eddie Murphy movies, a concert by The Boss, the third season of Rescue Me and a healthy variety of other genres. Here is the full list of titles coming out:

Trading Places
Coming to America
Norbit
Blood Diamond
Hellboy
Bruce Springsteen with the Sessions Band: Live in Dublin
The Messengers
Rio Bravo
Rescue Me: The Complete Third Season
The Cowboys

The Eddie Murphy movies are kind of fun in how they provide an interesting cross-section of his career. First up, you get the fantastic Trading Places from 1983, then you get the decent Coming to America from 1988 and then finally you are assaulted by the the GOD AWFUL Norbit from this year. Oh yay, Eddie Murphy in a fat suit again ...

Trading Places and Hellboy look like solid purchases, anything else catch your eye this week? And if you say Norbit, you're getting banned.

Possibly Trading Places, Blood Diamond and Rescue Me, with Messengers as a rental. Fair number of titles this week...

Trading places is one of those movies that doesnt need to be in HD.. DVD upscaled is good enough for me.

Hellboy is a seriously underrated film (and yet there are corners of the world that think it's great). So long as it gets a good video transfer, I'll be picking that one up.

Colin, I hope you weren't bluffing about banning Norbit fans...
