The Curious Case of Benjamin Button came out on DVD and Blu-ray today. It’s a fantastic film with fantastic effects and make up work that deserves to be seen on Blu-ray. I’ve checked out the transfer and this Criterion disc is the pinnacle of picture quality. I’ve always been impressed by the quality of Blu-ray, but throwing this in the Blu-ray player yesterday, my breath was actually took. I won’t continue talking about this one, since a full review will be up soon, but know that it’s worth the extra scratch to catch this one on Blu-ray.

Then we have one of the best movies of the 80s, hands down: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, released today on Blu-ray. A lot has been made by other outlets about how the transfer wasn’t very good, but it looked better than DVD quality to me, so I don’t feel like I can ask much more. The bonus features were great, too, but we’ll talk about those in a separate review.

Next we have Grease on Blu-ray. I think I’ve watched this disc twice since I’ve had it. I had truly forgotten how much I liked this movie (sure, a decade of distance between it and me had a lot to do with it) but it was fun to watch. So much fun, I watched it twice. I don’t know why. Again, a full review is coming shortly.

Finally, Gigantor: The Collection, Vol. 1 also comes out today. Be sure to check out our contest on this one, we’ll be giving away a free copy in the next day or two.
