DVD/Blu Ray Releases for 11/10/2009

Category : DVD/BD Releases

Buying movies is almost a dangerous obession with me.  I love it, and probably have spent more money on movies in my lifetime than any sane person.  At least I’m not spending money on heroine.

New Movie Tuesday is my favorite day of the week.  Here are this week’s releases as well as my recommendations.

Being the film snob I am, I will recommend the Blu Ray versions of these flicks if available.

Must Buy:

Up

Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray]
List Price: $45.99
Amazon Price: $19.99

Average customer review:

One of the best animated movies this year finally comes out on Blu-Ray.  Disney/Pixar’s Up is a gem of a movie that is a triumph for both kids and adults.  The only kids movie I know of that has an old man as it’s main character, Up comes highly recommended!

Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut

Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut [Blu-ray]

 

List Price: $59.99
Amazon Price: $30.99

2 new or used available from $30.99

Average customer review:

OK, geeks. This one is for you. Not for everyone, but this is the COMPLETE Watchmen experience. 3 hours and 38 minutes combining the Director’s Cut of the film, with the animated Tales of the Black Freighter.
Rent It
The Ugly Truth
The Ugly Truth [Blu-ray]

  

List Price: $39.95
Amazon Price: $25.99

  4 new or used available from $25.99 Average customer review:

I guess you could do worse when deciding on a Rom-Com for an evening at home with your significant other.  At least Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon aren’t in it.

Recommended to rent if you haven’t seen it. Samuel L. Jackson & Kevin Spacey give solid performances.
Red Heat [Blu-ray]
$12.99
Not sure how this will look in HD. Fun flick, though.       
Logan’s Run [Blu-ray]
$17.99
Don’t believe the cover art. Hokey 70s Sci-Fi. HD transfer may do more bad than good.
Godzilla [Blu-ray]

Excuse me, I just threw up a little in my mouth.
