A few big nerd releases on Blu-ray today and not much else.

My first pick is Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles.  I actually got to see this movie theatrically and I liked it quite a bit.  I am a big Robotech nerd and this film added quite a bit to the mythology that I wanted to see (though it did rewrite a bit of it.)  It’s good to see it coming out on Blu-ray…  I wonder if there’s anymore Robotech on Blu-ray, because if so, I’ve got some buying to do.  In the meantime, rumour has it that Lawrence Kasdan is writing the live-action movie, which is great news.  Maybe we can get him to write a pilot for a new cartoon series, too, that let’s us see the continued adventures of Rick Hunter.

The Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow is out on Blu-ray.  It’s obviously aimed squarely at kids, but reviews have been kind to it, even Harry Knowles called it the best of the animated Lions Gate marvel movies, which is saying something, since the Invincible Iron Man was pretty cool (which also hits Blu-ray shelves today.)

The other big nerd release is the special edition of Transformers, which comes out on Blu-ray.  I can’t imagine there’s much more to this release than what’s on the last one except for the exceptional leap in picture quality.  And unless you really loved this movie way more than you should have, I can’t imagine wanting to blow the extra scratch on a new version.  Or maybe I’m wrong.

Random film pick of the week?  Itty Bitty Titty Committee. This is a piece of lesbian cinema that looks like that might be it’s only redeeming quality.  It’s got a whopping 5.3 rating on IMDb though which leads me to think two things.  1) It’s a great film about lesbian issues that had a lot of guys watching it and didn’t see enough action or boobies and rated it low or 2) it sucks.  Either way, now you know about it and knowing is half the battle.
