Blu-ray movie releases for the week of Dec. 2

by Chris Powell { Dec 2nd 2007 at 5:00PM }

After last week's less-than-stellar offering, we're back to more of the heavy hitters. This week features a couple movies just seeing their first releases and a classic that's sure to look wonderful on Blu-ray.

While we'll kindly pass on seeing Elton John in hi-definition, we're huge fans of anything Judd Apatow touches, so Superbad is a must buy. And despite watching Cast Away at least a dozen times, we'll happily pick it up to see one of Tom Hanks' best performances ever.

Was Mr. & Mrs. Smith any good?

Honestly, no it isn't, no matter how hot Angelina may be.

I can't wait to get me some Superbad.

Cast Away and Pirates, yay!

I can't wait for Pirates. I asked for it for Christmas on Blu-Ray.

Fox is finally releasing some more movies on Blu-Ray. Its about time.

Been waiting for Queen Rocks Montreal on Blu-ray for a while now, it's supposed to be awesome, as it was filmed in HD on 35mm film and multitrack sound, newly remixed..

Why is Superbad 2-discs? They couldn't fit everything onto 1?

What is the point of a 2-Disc set if it's bluray? I'm not actually fooled into thinking that I'm getting anything extra for my buck. Whats teh point of getting such a graphically advanced film such as superbad in HD when I can probably pick it up for $9.98 in DVD.

All of these movies are superawful.

I hate to be such a downer but these lists are constantly such whoopdee doo's. On the otherhand its great to see Amazon with such competative pricing.

The 2 disc blu ray sets have insane amounts of features. The PotC BD has dozens and dozens of hours of crap on it.

The advantage it has over DVD is...HD and killer audio?

Seriously, there's a huge difference if you have a Home Theater setup.

I'm getting the new PotC for sure, dunno about superbad. I need to get that Badder Santa that came out too.

Angelina Jolie in HD, can't go wrong there. The $27 is kind of steep though. The actual movie wasn't too bad, had some decent action sequences.

Superbad was one of the funniest films this season. I don't normally buy comedies in HD though. I'll just put it on my christmas list.

Wow, a 2 disc blu-ray MOVIE already? I can't wait to see the day there's a 2 disc game. On one hand, it'll prove to Xbox players that the extra amount of space is necessary, but will also defeat the argument from them about how it's no big deal to have more than 1 disc.
