Blu-ray releases for the week of January 11th

by Alan Tsang { Jan 11th 2009 at 8:30PM }

Let's start things off with a Blu-ray special: Amazon is having a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale on 247 different Blu-ray titles right now. Take advantage of this deal here. Now, let's take a look at this week's releases:

Theatrical releases:

We had an excellent time with Appaloosa, an old-school Western helmed by Ed Harris that features stellar acting and solid writing. Mirrors starts out okay, but by the second half one couldn't wait for this dull excuse of a horror movie to end. Theatrical releases are above, everything else (including TV releases) are after the jump:

When I think of movies that fully take advantage of the hi-def resolution and uncompressed sound that I paid $600 for, I think "My Best Friend's Girl".

Ha! Well done +1 for you sir. Pineapple Express anyone???

I've sometimes wondered, PS3F, why you guys cover Blu-Ray releases but never the PSN Video Store releases.

So I'm asking. Why not?

dabamf @ Jan 12th 2009 7:12PM

Good question. I'm curious, how many videos do you own (have you rented) from the PSN Video Store? I made a conscious decision not to delve into that; I like the portability of a disc.

Haohmaru @ Jan 13th 2009 8:32AM

Not very many, truth be told. I've rented the HD version of Masters of the Universe (yeah..) and bought the first episode of a few of the anime offerings to see if they would be of interest to me in whole.

To clarify, I'm not necessarily arguing that PS3F should cover the video releases, but I really am curious why there seems to be this double standard. After all, it could be argued that the PSN releases are more relevant to the PS3, since that service is exclusive to the console. Meanwhile, there are many Blu-Ray disc players on the market now.

I decided to "Cruise" my blu-ray collection, picking up MI, MI-2, and Top Gun. Anyone with a good subwoofer, you owe it to yourself to pick up Top Gun on blu-ray. Also, the picture's pretty dang good for an older movie.
