Blu Ray Releases For 2/03/09 Previewed Briefly By Blue

* Being There (Warner) - Drama with Peter Sellars that I've never seen, but have heard is a classic. Should look good, being a Warners disc.

* Clerks II (Weinstein) - This movie was very entertaining in the the theater but lacks much rewatchability now. Mainly because the guy playing Dante is so hideously ugly and unfunny. Rosario Dawson is hot as hell though. Randall and the weird Christian kid are the funniest things in this.

* The Cure: Trilogy - Live In Berlin (Eagle Rock) - The Cure. Don't they write Burger King jingles now?

* Friday the 13th (1980) (Paramount) - Oh man, major release for me. Cannot wait. I don't doubt that blu ray barely enhances the quality of this movie, but the previous dvds I have are all non-16x9 enhanced and I didn't rebuy them for like 7 years because I've been waiting for the next format. And this is it. Actually not my favorite in the series, but it's one of the not-horrible ones(I say that with love). uncut for the first time, too!

* Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself (Image) - And strangely, he keeps losing.

* k.d. lang: Live in London (Image) - Pass.

* Little Miss Sunshine (Fox) - Strangely, this movie is "good enough to be nominated for best picture" but The Dark Knight is not. Pfft.

* Napoleon Dynamite (Fox) - What, is it cute/obnoxious indie comedy week from Fox? Didn't they already release Juno?

* Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (Sony) - Actually really liked this movie.

* Office Space (Fox) - Modern classic.

* Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway (Sony) - Here's a hint for how to tell if a rock musical sucks: none of the "rock" songs actually sound like rock and roll.

* Secret Life of Bees (Fox) - This is about spelling bees, right? I may have been misled.

* Sex Drive (Summit) - Teen sex comedy from a minor distributor. Is that a recipe for suck or success?

* Sideways (Fox) - Quirky indie comedy from Fox, you say? Pshaw! This one's good though.

* Space Buddies (Walt Disney) - The fuck?

* Taxi Driver (Sony) - Oh damn! My favorite Scorsese movie. My favorite DeNiro movie. Might wait on the blu ray though, until I feel like seeing it again.

* Zack and Miri Make a Porno (Weinstein) - Kevin Smith comedy I couldn't be bothered seeing. Starring a cast that has literally been in every other movie released this year. How's he do it?
