Blu-ray movie releases for the week of August 10th

Variety is the spice of life, and this week's Blu-ray selection has plenty of that. Check it out:

We highly recommend CJ7, a comedic yet touching tale about a father and son pair who finds a strange toy that turns out to be an alien life-form. Thought penned by Stephen Chow and it stars him, the movie is decidedly different from his previous film Kung Fu Hustle, as it lacks Chow's signature slapstick humor. Watch out for The Ten Commandments, since this is not the classic Charlton Heston movie, but rather an unfortunate 2006 TV miniseries. Val Kilmer, of all people, is excellent in a supporting role in the drama Felon. Kiss of the Spider Woman, an Amazon Blu-ray exclusive, finally finds a release after a month of delay. Mindless action is aplenty in the form of 7 Seconds, Belly, Half Past Dead and XXX: State of the Union. Rest of the releases are listed above.

Thanks for the warning. I was going to buy 10 commandments this week since it was cheap somewhere in the ads but now.... to heck with that.

CJ7 is a great movie! Very funny when it comes to two of the "children" fighting. Very touching throughout towards the end. The little girl who plays the son is now Stephen Chow's god-daughter.

I really like Stephen Chow but i find it hard to believe he's the producer of the new dragonball movie. If that's true then he's really disappointing me. I usually don't judge movies until I see them, but when I read that Goku was in highschool that was a clear sign of something horribly wrong.

Will be renting Maximum Risk for laughs, to bask in the time Van Damme actually got theatrical releases. Felon looks interesting and I've already watched Prison Break in HD when it aired. Season 3 was pretty good, but not as satisfying as the last two seasons.
