DVD/Blu-ray Releases for 11/24/2009

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.

Rent It:
Funny People

Funny People [Blu-ray]
List Price: $39.98
Amazon Price: $23.99

Average customer review:

A lot of people loved the Dramedy with Adam Sandler & Seth Rogen, but also a lot of people hated it. Blamed for being a bit long in the tooth, Funny People drags on 20 minutes longer than it should. However, there is a lot to love and we’d all love to see Adam Sandler out of the usual shit-hole movies he does.

Skip It

Four Christmases [Blu-ray] Angels & Demons [Blu-ray] Shorts [Blu-ray]
Four Christmases [Blu-ray]
$18.99
Look at the picture. Another Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy set at Christmas. Ick. Don’t think Vince Vaughan can save this.
Angels & Demons [Blu-ray]
$18.99
Oh boy! A brooding Tom Hanks with bad hair and over-cooked religious plot! No thanks.
Shorts [Blu-ray]
$19.99
I guess this could be harmless for the kids. However, you may want to blow your brains out every time they ask to watch it.

New to Blu-Ray/DVD & Recommended:

The Monster Squad (20th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] Cujo (25th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] Blood: The Last Vampire [Blu-ray]
The Monster Squad (20th Anniversary Edition…
$12.99
Buy this and set it next to your Night of the Creeps Blu Ray!
Cujo (25th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]
$12.99
Rabid St. Bernard in HD! If you don’t own this yet on DVD, the Blu Ray price is worth it.
Blood: The Last Vampire [Blu-ray]
$14.99
It may be short, but this Anime has some awesome visuals and bloody vampire fights.
Frailty [Blu-ray]
Frailty [Blu-ray]
$13.99
Bill Paxton’s directorial debut. A strong horror flick, worth owning.

New to Blu Ray

Ghost in the Shell 2.0 [Blu-ray]
Ghost in the Shell 2.0 [Blu-ray]
$14.99
Key scenes are given the CG makeover with lack-luster results. Buy the DVD and keep your fingers crossed for a proper release.
