My Two Cents
Okay, let’s close out the week with a couple of reviews and some new announcement news. First the reviews...
Our own Todd Doogan has checked in with his thoughts on Criterion’s excellent recent edition of Ishirô Honda’s classic Godzilla on Blu-ray. Enjoy!
And I’ve weighed in with a look at Magnet’s new Blu-ray edition of Europa Report – a modestly impressive little space exploration thriller that arrives in stores on 10/8.
Now for some announcement news... [Read on here...]
As promised, we’ve got some good stuff here at The Bits for you today…
First up, our own Bud Elder has checked in with a new View from the Cheap Seats column in which he muses on alternate film casting and also runs down some of the more interesting home video releases on Blu-ray, DVD and DVD-R. Don’t miss it!
I’ve turned in a combo review of 20th Century Fox’s Homeland: Seasons One and Two on Blu-ray. It’s one of my favorite series currently on TV – a brilliantly cast, acted and written spy drama that won last year’s Emmy for Best Drama Series – and its third season debuts this coming Sunday night on Showtime. If you’re not watching it already, I strongly encourage you to give it a look. [Read on here…]
So I had this whole news update post planned for today, along with Bud’s new View from the Cheap Seats column and a new Blu-ray review or two as well, and I was deep in the process of getting it all ready to go live on the site, when something happened that completely distracted me.
I figured I’d share it with you guys this afternoon, because it goes right to my cinema geek credibility. And I knew that some of you would appreciate it as much as I do. [Read on here...]
All right, first up today, our own Joe Marchese has posted a review of Criterion’s The Blob on Blu-ray! Nothing like a B-movie classic given A-list special edition treatment. Read on and enjoy!
Also, our own Russell Hammond has just updated the Release Dates & Artwork section with all the latest Blu-ray, DVD and Video Game cover artwork and Amazon.com pre-order links. As always, a portion of anything you order from Amazon after clicking through our links goes to help support our work here at The Bits and we greatly appreciate it.
In announcement news today, Well Go USA Entertainment has just set IP Man: The Final Fight for release on Blu-ray and DVD on 11/12 (SRP $29.98 and $24.98). Extras will include a making of featurette, 11 cast and crew interviews and both the U.S. and international trailers. [Read on here...]
All right, we’re starting the new week with a bunch of odds and ends to report in terms of announcement news...
