Your Weekly Source for the Newest Releases to Blu-Ray
There’s a whole lot of everything to choose from this week. Criterion serves up the 2008 Japanese gem STILL WALKING along with a fine dose of Fellini with AMARCORD, while on the opposite end we are graced by the release of Panela Anderson’s BARB WIRE on blu-ray. One of my favorite animated flicks on 2010, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, hits store shelves and there’s a Samsung 3D starter version of the blu-ray disc available with certain 3D TV purchases. Doesn’t that make you want to run out and throw down $3000? Both versions of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE hit blu-ray and DVD, but I still prefer my Millennium Edition DVD featuring a commentary by Joe Bob Briggs. Two “rivers” converge on blu-ray for you viewing pleasure and THELMA & LOUISE get the anniversary treatment.
