Edward Scissorhands 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Available Oct. 13th!

Posted in News | Leave a comment

Some exceptionally glorious news that I am truly honored to announce. Edward Scissorhands, A personal favorite film of mine and a renowned cult classic, will be reissued on Blu-ray October 13th. Packaged in a nice collector’s giftset which includes custom paper dolls, a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and a topiary air freshener that smells like fresh-cut grass.

However, the best thing about this 25th Anniversary re-release is the blu-ray will contain a brand new 4K Blu-ray transfer.

Considering the original blu-ray contained a less than stellar MPEG-2 codec, Edward Scissorhands has gotten the Blu-ray treatment it rightfully deserves.

A slightly missed opportunity is that we have no new special features. All bonus content has been recycled from the original release.

  • Tim Burton Featurette
  • Audio Commentary by Tim Burton
  • Audio Commentary by Danny Elfman

I look forward to the release of this set and hope some of you do as well!

Star Wars Saga Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-rays Available Nov. 10th!

Posted in News | Leave a comment

I think it’s no surprise that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is one of, if not THE most anticipated film of the year. As to be expected, Disney and 20th Century Fox are re-releasing the original and prequel trilogy, otherwise known as The Complete Saga…soon to be the almost complete saga. First, on October 13th a repackage of The Complete Saga on Blu-ray with Darth Vader front and center on the box.

And for all the collector’s out there, if you wait until November 13th you can get all six films in some very slick Limited Edition Steelbooks.

Now I know many of you are disappointed that these are just repackages of the first Blu-ray release. Believe me, as a fan I am just as disappointed. But, for all we know, something good will happen in the future. For some of us, we still have our VHS and/or LaserDiscs of the unaltered version of the trilogy to look back on.

But, for those who are not bothered by Greedo shooting first or Vader screaming no, these releases are a nice addition to any movie lover’s collection.

May The Force Be With You!

Posted in News | Leave a comment

Coming to Blu-ray for the very first time the original Battlestar Galactica will be available from Universal Studios on May 12, 2015.

Two box sets are up for pre-order right now. The first set: Battlestar Galactica: The Remastered Collection features both the original series as well as the oft-criticized Galactic 1980. The second set: Battlestar Galactica: The Definitive Collection comes with the same but also includes the original movie. Personally, I’m going to go for the second set simply for the fact that it includes everything!

If you want to pre-order one of these sets just click the images below, it’ll redirect you to the Amazon page.
