The Spirit: The Surprising Blu-Ray Experience by The Hot Blog

Like many others, I skipped The Spirit in December. I was interested, but Lionsgate didn’t seem overly interested in screening it for me and it kind of plopped out into the marketplace. The film grossed under $20 million, raised the internal strife at...

Bat-Pricing by The Hot Blog

Interesting spin on pricing on the new Batman Anthology, which is the post-TV/pre-Nolan Batman features... now in Blu-Ray. For one thing, only Batman itself is available as a standalone DVD so far. But more interesting is that WB is offering the package...

Fox Releases Bond by The Hot Blog

I got a note today about the DVD release of Quantum of Solace ... from Fox. Ouch to the Sony. I assumed that even though other MGM product went to FoxHE, that Sony would at least retain what they released into theaters. Nope. Even worse, the release plays...

The French Connection in Blu by The Hot Blog

Wow. The French Connection on Blu-ray is one of the great additions to the highest shelf of my Blu-ray library, up there with The Godfather , the Kubrick films, and Pixar’s stuff. (I am soon to throw Raging Bull and The Last Emperor into the PS3 to see...

Miri & Zack... A Blu Movie by The Hot Blog

I have been persona non grata with Kevin Smith for a long while now. But I keep on hoping that he will become as good a filmmaker as he is a raconteur. Someone sent me blu-ray of Zack & Miri Make A Porno , I had no idea what to expect. But in I jumped...

Blu-ray Discounting by The Hot Blog

An e-mail went out with some terrible Sony deals on Blu-ray that are too complicated and not nearly enough of a discount to attract anyone who isn't buying already. But as I looked around Amazon, I came upon this, which made me gasp and then laugh...

Quickie on Hancock Blu by The Hot Blog

When the disc arrived, promising two versions (and a free digital download), I threw it in the PS3 immediately and took a look. Yes, the infamous sex scene is in the “uncut” version. And I do think it was too cartoonish, but that they idea was absolutely...

Huge Blu Breakthorugh by The Hot Blog

I haven't seen this anywhere else, but the Financial Times is reporting this morning, "Wal-Mart will sell the first sub-$130 Blu-ray player in "Black Friday" holiday sales this week after the Thanksgiving holiday." The announcement...

Blu-ray Trick Or Treat by The Hot Blog

So... got the Hancock Blu-ray, which is Sony's first to go for this differentiating idea. ( Speed Racer was the first from Warner Bros and I believe that Juno was the first Blu-ray with Digital Copy from Fox, though I never got theirs to work.) I...

Talking Matrix by The Hot Blog

Aaron Aradillas, who apparently posts in here, asked me to chat with him on his Back By Midnight show on BlogTalkRadio on the occasion of the Blu-ray release of The Ultimate Matrix Colleciton. (The one big difference between this and the HD release -...

About Time... by The Hot Blog

I have been very impressed over the last year with Disney's "frequent buyer" program with their DVDs, including Blu-ray, and wondered why other studios hadn't followed suit. Now Sony is. It's also interesting that BD-Live is being...

A Few Blu-Ray Tidbits by The Hot Blog

The first studio to offer Blu-ray screeners to awards voters? Not Sony, as you migh expect. WB. The only question is whether The Dark Knight will land before the real Blu-ray DVD release. Also, WB broke more ground with the release of the Speed Racer...

Sleeping Blu-ray by The Hot Blog

The magic of Blu-ray and the trend to CG animation, watching Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray is a revelation… as is the preview of Pinocchio ’s Blu-ray premiere in the spring. It is a whole different form of art… as it should be understood to be. It’s a weird...

Oh My God... Father by The Hot Blog

The Godfather Blu-ray just landed on my doorstep. It took as long as unwrapping the package to start watching. Gordon Willis' blacks. The light in Bonasera's eye... slowly pulling back... his black jacket just barely clear against the black behind...
