Every week there are tons of newly released films, Blu-rays, books, comics, and CDs, but the truth is, very few of them are worth your time. That’s where this feature comes in. Each posting attempts to highlight the best new media releases of the coming week. It’s far from exhaustive, and of course it will be mostly according to my taste, but I’ll try to do my best to include a wide variety, so hopefully you’ll see something that interests you too.
Spielberg's breakthrough film, and also one that helped spawn the age of the blockbuster, is getting its Blu-ray debut this week. Over the next year, Universal will be releasing some of its most important catalogue titles to Blu-ray as part of its 100th anniversary celebration, including many that have never been on the format, and Jaws is viewed as one of the most exciting releases. I’ve never actually gotten around to seeing the film, but I’ll definitely be picking it up.
The Hunger Games Blu-Ray
The first film in the Hunger Games quadrilogy does quite a good job of translating the popular book to the screen. It has some pacing issues and suffers for its PG-13 rating, but is an enjoyable adaptation. Not overly violent and enjoyable enough that this should be a safe bet for most people to pick up when it’s released this Saturday.
Sleep well,
