We’re going to start today’s releases with Pixar’s A Bug’s Life. I’ve been exploring this disc for a few days now and I have to say it’s worth every penny you’d drop on it. Disney films always seem to look great on Blu-ray, but none more so than the Pixar films. This film is no exception. I’ll have a full review of this up later, so be sure to look for it.

Valkyrie came out on Blu-ray and DVD today. This is a movie I enjoyed very much and am quite excited to see again. You can read my original review of the film here.

Geek classics Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Tim Burton’s Batman are being released on Blu-ray today. I’ll have a review up tomorrow of Terminator Salvation. Take note that this is the first time in the United States that this version of Batman is available outside of the box set with one great movie and two god-awful ones. Another geeky Blu-ray release is Paycheck. Maybe not so geeky, but it is a Phillip K. Dick adaptation. Personally, I’m keen to check it out even though I’m not the biggest John Woo fan. (In fact, I think Mission: Impossible II was one of the worst movies ever.)

Enemy at the Gates comes out on Blu-ray, I liked it when it came out but am actually excited to revisit it. 3 Days of the Condor is also hitting Blu-ray and, though I’ve never seen it, I’m quite excited to check it out. I love this era of Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, and Sydney Pollack.

Also on Blu-ray today is The Machinist, which I missed in the theatres. Should I worry about this one? I’m in your hands.

And does it make me somehow less of a man if I want to check out the first season of True Blood?

I guess I can make up for it by wanting to watch Robert Mitchum in a Criterion Release of the ’70s crime film The Friends of Eddie Coyle. It looks pretty good to me and Criterion hits a lot more than they miss.

Oh, and in honor of the 10th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, Fanboys came out on DVD. This is one I’m going to have to check out.
