Blu-ray releases for the week of December 28th

by Alan Tsang { Dec 28th 2008 at 9:00PM }

Nothing too exciting in terms of Blu-ray releases this week, but Firefly fans will be extremely glad to see Serenity make its debut in the HD format of our choice:

Oh, you mean you didn't get enough of Matthew McConaughey's hair plugs and shirtless torso in the tabloids and Fool's Gold? Then we highly recommend Surfer, Dude. If you liked Dead Space, you should check out Event Horizon -- both are of the sci-fi/horror genre with religious overtones. The rest of the theatrical releases are above.

Umm this was released on HD-DVD before, so this is not its HD debut

@DrunkRaba, nick and dehshizknight:

He edited it to "our choice" after Julian and Thor79 posted.

Serenity has been on HD-DVD for a while now, so this is not it's debut in HD...just it's debut on Bluray.

Nick @ Dec 28th 2008 11:25PM

That's pretty much what he wrote in the article.

To quote DrunkRaba quoting Alan:

Way more excited for that other movie that takes place in outer space!

Stupid side note: But why is there more often than not, blank bullet points when you list the new blu-rays?

If serenity sold so well in HD-DVD, imagine how it will sell in blu-ray.

Dexter's Lab? I remember that! But how is it coming in HD?

solidslack @ Dec 28th 2008 11:17PM

I think he means the serial killer, not the child scientist

Undercovermc @ Dec 29th 2008 4:14PM

Lol, people are still confusing the hit show Dexter with Dexter's Laboratory?

John S @ Dec 29th 2008 12:57AM

Yessss. Serenity baby

I always felt that Event Horizon got some inspiration from Warhammer 40k what with the Gothic architecture and "Pure Chaos" thing.

Carney @ Dec 30th 2008 10:45AM

Interesting idea. Hadn't considered it before.

I remember watching Event Horizon and being scared silly - unable to sleep that night. I'm not much of a horror fan and was expecting more of a sci fi deal. I guess if you've seen a zillion horror flicks it's old hat.

Friend of a friend drew a lot of interesting parallels with Alien. Distress call, derelict spaceship, scientist in blue has sinister hidden agenda, iris-style door, I forget all the rest, but was pretty interesting.

Fact: If you don't buy Serenity, you are a bad person.

I watched Event Horizon again after taking a break from it for about 10 years, and was a bit surprised. It wasn't great...but not that bad. Where has Paul Anderson gone wrong with every other film he makes?

Still, Serenity is a far superior film and I'm quite excited.
