Twilight Saga: New Moon, The (Blu-ray Review)

March 12, 2010

Visually more interesting, and imbued with a better sense of humor, 'New Moon' shows a bit more signs of life than its predecessor. (Street Date 3/20/10)



Clash of the Titans (Blu-ray Review)

March 11, 2010

The graininess and softer look of an older film are still present, but the enhanced detail and lack of dirt and digital artifacts will have fans leaping for joy. For those who don’t yet have a Blu-ray player, this disc alone is worth the upgrade.



Princess and the Frog, The (Blu-ray Review)

March 09, 2010

'The Princess and the Frog' is a welcome return to form, and the Blu-ray offers array of extras designed to subtly remind us of the film’s place in the Disney legacy. (Street Date 3/16/10)



Up in the Air (Blu-ray Review)

March 08, 2010

An instant milestone in the career of George Clooney dealing with the recently laid-off economic underclass, Jason Reitman’s adaptation of the Walter Kirn novel is topical to eerie extremes — yet also funny at times and always psychologically deft. (Street Date 3/9/10)



Precious (Blu-ray Review)

March 08, 2010

Despite the inevitable high-test squalor of any story about a 450-pound Harlem teenager being twice impregnated by her own father and left HIV-positive, director Lee Daniels takes some chances with fantasy sequences, occasionally even eliciting an intended chuckle or two. Somehow, it all works and even becomes more than the sum of its parts. (Street Date 3/9/10)



2012 (Blu-ray Review)

February 25, 2010

Quality of content aside, '2012' represents exactly what a Blu-ray Disc of a hit theatrical should be. The disc has everything a fan of the movie could want. (Street Date 3/2/10)



Informant!, The (Blu-ray Review)

February 22, 2010

Matt Damon got a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for Clint Eastwood’s 'Invictus,' but the 2009 performance for which he’ll be more remembered came in the first Steven Soderbergh movie in an age not composed of aren’t-we-cute smirkiness (all three “Ocean’s” capers) or designed for instant oblivion in theatrical auditoriums holding 150 seats ('Che,' et al.). (Street Date 2/23/10)



Ponyo (Blu-ray Review)

February 21, 2010

For those who have not experienced the work of Hayao Miyazaki and for those who have, 'Ponyo' on Blu-ray Disc is a treat. (Street Date 3/2/10)



Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (Blu-ray Review)

February 19, 2010

'Crisis on Two Earths' is a great piece of entertainment. The animation is lively and the fight sequences will raise the gander of many a fanboy. (Street Date 2/23/10)



Contempt (Le Mepris) (Blu-ray Review)

February 15, 2010

Studio Canal appears to be challenging industry-standard Criterion to a game of HORSE when it comes to making arthouse classics look like opening night. Contempt is among the most gorgeous-looking European films of the era. (Street Date 2/16/10)
