Blu-ray movie releases for the week of Feb. 17

by Chris Powell { Feb 17th 2008 at 7:00PM }

So, with Blu-ray finally the winner of the HD race, you'd think there'd be a huge celebration with tons of great releases this week, right? Well, not so much, unless you're a big fan of watching music on TV, that is.

However, Blu-ray owners may be interested in Michael Clayton or Run Lola Run. Both seem like they could be interesting pick ups. On the brighter side, if these movies don't interest you this week, just rest in assurance that there will be some really great releases the following week and in to March.

Run Lola Run, from what I remember, was actually pretty cool. It has 3 different endings and Lola has cool hair.

Run Lola Run is worth picking up. It was interesting, I saw it when I was about 8 years old.

When I sow that box art I thought the movie's title was:

"Run, LOL, A Run"

I should really get some fresh air...

Run Lola, Run should look great on bluray with a lot of vibrant colors. I'd definitely buy it if I didn't have the DVD. Knowing it's on bluray though, the next time I want to watch it I'll end up renting the bluray instead of just watching my DVD.

Oh shit, Yes.
I have it on DVD and it's a great buy. Full of classic songs. Yes rocks.

"So, with Blu-ray finally the winner of the HD race, you'd think there'd be a huge celebration with tons of great releases this week, right?"
Right?! Toshiba hasn't even officially dropped HD DVD, and their excellent exclusive studios (Paramount, Universal, Dreamworks) haven't switched to Blu-ray or even gone neutral yet. And technically, it'd likely takes months to plan and produce enough discs for big release "celebration", if it's even possible. But, yeah, Run Lola Run and Michael Clayton effing rock...

P.S. - Can't wait for No Country for Old Men in March.

Run Lola Run is a fantastic movie. I'll be picking it up on BluRay despite owning the dvd, with the hope that the subtitling will be handled better. On the DVD the subtitles don't appear onscreen at the exact moment that they should, which once you start watching the movie you'll see is a huge problem (the only way to watch it is in German w english subtitles).
