Blu-ray movie releases for the week of May 18

by Majed Athab { May 18th 2008 at 3:30PM }

If you're a fan of Nicolas Cage, or just stiff acting in general, then you'll love this week of Blu-ray releases. There's the two National Treasure films to snore to, one of Adam Sandler's least memorable flicks, and possibly the worst WrestleMania in a decade.

So, is there anything really worth watching this week? Not really. Short Circuit might be worth the eleven bucks ... that is, if you haven't watched it within the past 22 years.

V for Vendetta is a great movie.

Morpheus @ May 19th 2008 6:14AM

Exactly my thinking :)

How you possibly overlooked V for Vendetta is beyond me.

mathab @ May 18th 2008 3:48PM

V for Vendetta was an all right film for me. I just wasn't wowed by it. Judging by the previous comments, mine aren't going to go over well! *Flameshields on*

Making fun of Cage? Not on.

Don't try and make up 4chan memes. We don't need anymore retardism on the net

RickiB @ May 18th 2008 5:34PM

Extinction what?

Coriff @ May 18th 2008 4:11PM

I concur with the general consensus. V for Vendetta is the best out of all those releases, imho. The scene with Natalie Portman in that ballerina type dress is worth it alone, lol. Seriously tho, good movie. Too bad I already have it on regular DVD.

You can also add all the Paramount re-release titles to this list if you so choose.

Any previously released title not named Cloverfield or There Will be Blood (which are releasing on 6/3) will be available for sale again.

Don't mess with Short Circuit. That movie was hilarious, being a computer geek and all...

V for Vendetta was also good. Not great, but good.

How could you call 'Mania XXIV the worst in a decade? 23 from last year was much worse. XXIV I felt was a big suprise from something I would've never expected this year. It had Ric Flair retiring the way he should (with respect for him and us all), Orton pinning "Superman" (as I like to call him) and Taker winning the world title again. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10 for WWE just managing to pull off something we never expected in this day and age (as there hasn't been a good 'Mania since 21). I hope the writers got a raise for what they achieved.

I was at WM24... hopefully I'll be able to spot myself(or even the "fireworks malfunction" at the end), LOL.

and the money in the bank ladder match was epic!

Nando @ May 18th 2008 5:36PM

Are you kidding me? V for Vendetta is great!

djpenny1 @ May 18th 2008 6:29PM

yes the movie is great but i have the movie on dvd i wish it come out earlier on blue ray :(

Scilent @ May 18th 2008 5:41PM

I have been waiting to see The Air I breathe for over a year so I'm really excited about that. Anger Management was flippin hilarious I thought...and yes, Nicholas Cage's best role in the last 4 years was Fu manchu ;) but he is still an awesome actor. His performance in Adaptation is one of the best and Leaving Las Vegas was also up there as one of the best.

Plus the very underrated and undersaw Matchstick Men. I enjoyed Weather Man quite alot also.

Dan Davis @ May 19th 2008 10:39AM

OK, I'll give you "Leaving Las Vegas" and "The Weather Man" (and even the unmentioned "Adaptation"), but Nic Cage's good to bad ratio is just awful.

I present to you:
"Con Air"
"Face Off"
"City of Angels"
"8mm"
"Gone in 60 Seconds"
"The Family Man"
"Windtalkers"
"National Treasure" (and any of the sequels)
"Lord of War" (man, I wanted to like this movie)
"Ghost Rider"
