The Incredible Hulk is obviously the big release today. It was as good (though more action-packed) as Ang Lee’s Hulk and will tie in nicely (I hope) with the future Marvel Avengers franchises. (Related note: the fifth season of The Incredible Hulk: TV series came out today, too.)
Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 is out today as well. I don’t know how many of you guys dig Looney Tunes, but if you don’t, you should. These sets are fantastic for getting into the history of it as well, since they collect even the cartoons they don’t show on TV anymore because they’re racist, politicially incorrect or balls out propaganda. Also, they’re all still funny as hell.
The first batch of James Bond films to hit Blu-ray came out, starting with Dr. No, Die Another Day, Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, From Russia with Love, Thunderball, and Casino Royale. You can read my thoughts about all of the Bond movies here. I can only imagine Bond fever will only get warmer and warmer with next months release of Quantum of Solace, so this is a good start. I’ve watched them all over again in the last year and can say I really like James Bond, even at his worst (For Your Eyes Only).
Honorable Mentions: Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd comes out on Blu-Ray and Warner Bros. released another Gangster collection that has the following films: The Amazing Doctor Clitterhouse, Little Giant, Larceny Incorporated, Invisible Stripes, Kid Galahad, and a bonus disc featuring a new documentary, Public Enemies: The Golden Age of Gangster Film.
