Blu Ray Releases for 03/03/09 Previewed Briefly By Blue
* Australia (Fox) - Baz Luhrmann's epic about his home nation. I've heard this described as an amped up Gone With The Wind that frequently threatens to turn into an Australian gay cowboy musical. So if that's your thing, as the current poll suggests it is for two of you(six if you include the people who liked that gay robot cartoon more) then you should probably seek this out.
* Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Walt Disney) - Disney scientists somehow discovered, in their intense efforts to make annoying movies about fake-cute animals, how to somehow concentrate ten movies worth of awful into this one concept. It's truly stunning.
* Brokeback Mountain (Universal) - Good movie, but sad and long. Should have won Best Picture that year(it wasn't the best imo - Batman Begins was, but it was probably the best that could've won).
* I've Loved You So Long (Sony) - Supposed great Kristin Scott Thomas performance in this, sounds interesting.
* In the Electric Mist (Image) - Supposedly a mishmash misfire adaptation of a popular series of novels, I've heard mixed-to-good things about this and Tommy Lee Jones. Supposedly choped to bits for the US release though.
* NFL Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers Champions (Warner) - God, in case you want to relive the torture a few more times.
* Paramore: The Final Riot! (Summit) - Music blu ray of a band I never heard of. Double fail.
* The Silence of the Lambs (MGM) - Probably the standout on this list. My current dvd serves me fine, this isn't really a rewatch even once a year film for me.
* Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic (Warner) - I actually have all this on my computer and iPod, for about half the price they're gouging for the blu ray. Good but they should have ponied up for a female voice actor for the Silk Spectres. The narrator is good at all the male voices however.
* Wonder Woman (2009) (Warner) - The latest direct to video animated DC universe film. This one is pretty good, but eh, Wonder Woman. DC has this big thing about their so-called "Trinity" which is made up of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Supposedly this is because they're the three most popular characters DC has, which actually isn't really true. The 3 most popular are: Batman, Superman, and The Joker. If it's heroes, it's Batman, Superman, and Robin. Wonder Woman has been a mid range seller at best for the past 30 years. But they persist on her presence in the Trinity, I guess because it makes it more PC. Or maybe she just sells more merchandise(not that there's a lot of Joker merchandise, hahahahahah)? Anyway, giving this a pass but may rent it in the future.
