DVD Releases for April 8th, 2008

[DSNT]

Since the format war is over (and also because I now have a Blu-Ray player), I am now posting Blu-Ray titles at the end.

You're welcome, Duke. :cool:

Don't ask me why GGW is being released on Blu-Ray, but there you go -- HD teets.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Holy crap. I had Space Ace for the Sega CD. It sucked, but so did every game for that system.

[DSNT]

Holy crap. I had Space Ace for the Sega CD. It sucked, but so did every game for that system.
I remember the standalone arcade game, which also sucked, but was way ahead of its time. I don't remember a movie.

May buy TWBB someday, and will rent Sharkwater on Blu-Ray.

[Hugh_Grant]

Dewey Cox!

Hey, you made me look at it. Now I'm returning the favor. It's a new low for zombie movie remakes I say.

[SirNewt]

Matlock and Perry Mason in the same week, wow, riot at the old folks home.

I derive great enjoyment from the P2 cover.

[Kurosawa Fan]

That's no movie my good man. That's a game for your Blu-Ray player. I wonder if it's as crappy as I remember.

[balmakboor]

'Barry Lyndon' - 10


You got that right. Best. Kubrick. Ever.

[SirNewt]

That's no movie my good man. That's a game for your Blu-Ray player. I wonder if it's as crappy as I remember.

Jesus christ! you're right! Oh my god! Oh my god! Are we going to get more of the Sega CD games that used prerendered graphics on blu-ray? Sewer Shark, Night Trap, anyone?


You got that right. Best. Kubrick. Ever.

It gets beat about by his fans and critics a bit but I really enjoyed it. It's certainly the best film depiction of that period that I've ever seen.

[Watashi]

Dragon's Lair > Space Ace

[Watashi]

Though when it comes to mid 90's adventure games, nothing touches King's Quest VI. It's monumental in point n' click gaming

[DrewG]

Man, talk about a week with movies that BOMBED. Main examples being Reservation Road which completely fell off the face of the earth once it was released and Lions for Lambs which had 3 tremendous stars, made zero money and seemed like it was hated by everyone. Yikes on those two, I haven't even seen commercials for the DVD's on television.

And, :lol: x 1,000 at the DVD cover for P2. Wow...I read that Wes Bentley's performance is a whole new level of terrible acting in this film; can anyone verify?

[baby doll]

Even if I wasn't leaving the country Tuesday, I still wouldn't rent any of those. Maybe I'd give There Will Be Blood another look, but it's not a high priority for me.

[eternity]

BUY:
Walk Hard

RENT:
There Will Be Blood
P2
Reservation Road
Lions for Lambs

WTF of the Week:
The 6th Day Cover on Blu-Ray. OH. MY. GOD.

[ledfloyd]

Even if I wasn't leaving the country Tuesday, I still wouldn't rent any of those. Maybe I'd give There Will Be Blood another look, but it's not a high priority for me.

yeah, awful week.

[Sycophant]

Samuel L. Jackson is just being in movies now to see what hair styles people can come up with for him.

Should try There Will Be Blood again, see if I can develop a real opinion on it.

[Ivan Drago]

I'll be buying There Will Be Blood and Walk Hard.

One is one of the best movies of 2007 and the other is the most underrated comedy of the decade so far.

[SirNewt]

those of you with a Blu-ray player may want to wait on TWBB. I'm pretty sure I heard news of a BDR coming.

[baby doll]

I'm pretty sure I heard news of a BDR coming.Bundesrepublik Deutschland?

[D_Davis]

For those of you interested in LD based games, check out this website:

http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/games/

It's awesome.


There is also an emulator called DAPHNE that runs the LD-ISOs.

[SirNewt]

Bundesrepublik Deutschland?

I'm sorry, I must be thick. . .

Anyway, the stories google turned up for this are very old so who knows when it's coming.

[baby doll]

I'm sorry, I must be thick. . .Oh, I just had no idea what a BDR is, so I was wondering if it was anything like the BRD.

[origami_mustache]

There Will Be Blood will be the first movie I buy in a looooong time.

[SirNewt]

Oh, I just had no idea what a BDR is, so I was wondering if it was anything like the BRD.

Ya, actually I suck. A BDR would be a one time writable Blu-ray. I should've said BD-ROM.

[trotchky]

I ended up buying the There Will Be Blood DVD for reasons I neither know nor have the courage to really think about. I guess there is a definite disparity between the movies I see that are "good" and the ones I feel compelled to "rewatch."
