Children of Men is perhaps one of the finest films in the last 10 years and it’s coming out today on Blu-ray. This is a fine film and quite breathtaking to look at and is certainly worth getting in this format.
Another Blu-ray first this week is Tony Scott’s direction of Quentin Tarentino’s True Romance. This is a pretty good movie and is worth adding to your collection, in one format or another.
A film that I’ve been hearing a lot about lately, despite it’s status as a straight-to-DVD release, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. This seems to be bad movie night fodder that is going to find quite a cult audience.
Harlan Ellison: Dreams with Sharp Teeth hits a DVD release today. It looks to be a retrospective on Harlan Ellison in the same method as Disinformation’s The Mindscape of Alan Moore. It features interviews with the likes of Neil Gaiman and Robin Williams. I’m keen to check this one out.
The last thing on my list is something I’d kill to get my hands on is BBC’s History of World War II. I’m a big WWII history nerd and the BBC makes documentaries like nobody’s business. It’s a 12 disc set and looks like it’s dynamite.
