The League: The Complete Fifth Season on Blu-ray & DVD September 2nd!

The LeagueGet set for another outrageously inappropriate bout of fantasy football madness with Season Five of The League, including 11 UNRATED extended episodes. After the draft at Andre’s bachelor party nearly derails his wedding, Rafi plots Kevin’s death, Taco tries life without weed, Pete pays Ruxin the ultimate disrespect, and Kevin and Jenny’s “sexiversary” celebration ends very, very badly. Please keep in mind that this set will also be available on DVD. We’ve noticed that not every recent television set has been announced as Blu-ray. If this changes then we will update the PR release accordingly.  Continue reading ‘The League: The Complete Fifth Season on Blu-ray & DVD September 2nd!’

Scream Factory Is Not Messing Around With NIGHTBREED: DIRECTOR’S CUT Blu-ray!

nightbreed thumbWow.  Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the ground.  We’ve known for about a year that Scream Factory was going to put out the director’s cut of Clive Barker’s cult classic Nightbreed.  But I don’t think in our wildest imaginations we thought THIS would be what’s coming.  There are 2 releases here.  One is the standard director’s cut Blu-ray which is what I think we all assumed this was going to be.  BUT WAIT!  A limited edition (5,000) set with 3 discs INCLUDING the theatrical cut which means WARNER BROS ACTUALLY SUB LICENSED SOMETHING!!!  Also comes with a book and a 3rd disc (exclusive to the set) crammed with bonus material.  Both editions also have their own exclusive artwork.  It comes out just before Halloween hits too.  We were all excited about this, but man, they really went and outdid themselves with this one.

Proof The “Lost” HALLOWEEN: H20 Commentary Is Actually Happening This Time For Upcoming Blu-ray Set!

Halloween Complete THUMBDoes anybody own the old Halloween: H20 DVD that came out back in 1998?  You know, the one that was set in 4:3 Letterbox and included the worthless bonus features of ‘Trivia’ and a Creed music video?  On the back of that box it said there was a commentary with Jamie Lee Curtis and Steve Miner.  On the disc however, no such thing existed.  Forever, people wondered what happened to it.  Why was it scrapped?  Is it laying around here somewhere?  Would it pop up on the Blu-ray…nope…they can’t even get the correct framing on that thing.  Apparently that commentary was never recorded.  BUT, thank you Scream Factory (they’re doing the bonus, not Anchor Bay)!  It’s going to happen and be moderated by horor community fan favorite Sean Clark.  This is pretty big too, as Steve Miner doesn’t like to do commentaries.  As proof that this isn’t like last time, Anchor Bay has sent along a photo!  Cannot wait for what will likely be the best Blu-ray release of the year (in my eyes)!  Oh, and I also included a photo of the back of the DVD case to show you guys I’m not off my rocker on that.

Aging Pilots’ Memories Fly High During The Filming of ‘Old Bold Pilots’

Old Bold Pilots TNThis past Thursday night I finally got the chance to sit down with George Dawe, a 51-year-old actor and stuntman (you can check out his IMDB page here), residing in Fallbrook, CA and talk about his newest project he’s passionately working on.  Now let me back up for one minute before we dive into further discussing this newest endeavor of his.  I have known George for a number of years now and let me tell you the man has quite an impressive resume of accomplishments in life.  Not only is he an actor and a stuntman like I mentioned prior, but he was also once an attorney and a pilot.  I mention the word pilot to cleverly segue into the reason we are all here today to talk about his newest “pilot,” the documentary television series Old Bold Pilots.  And yes, for anyone who’s counting, I said the word pilot three times in a sentence.  I am aware of that, but I digress.  Let’s talk some Old Bold Pilots.

Halloween 35th Anniversary Blu-ray Honored At 40th Annual Saturn Awards

Halloween 35th Anniversary - www.whysoblu.comThe Saturn Awards sure knows how to pick ’em as we both agree the Halloween 35th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray from last year was one of the year’s  best.  It was among my personal #1 of 2013 (I picked all John Carpenter releases and tied them together).  Saturn maybe should have waited a year for the box set, haha.  Or maybe the Halloween franchise can rake in back to back wins.  This 35th Anniversary Edition was most notable because they got Dean Cundey to come back and get the color timing right and approve the image to be near identical to its theatrical release.   And my, it looked absolutely fantastic.  Almost like seeing it for the first time.  There was one scratch most had on the release, and that was the lack of the original mono track. Fear not, it WILL be reinserted on the upcoming box set.  Below is Anchor Bay’s statement on this great feat.  Congrats!

Tony Jaa’s ONG BAK Trilogy Is Something You Knees To Have On Blu-ray!

Ong-Bak-TrilogyHot on the heels of The Protector 2 coming to Blu-ray, why don’t we just toss Tony Jaa’s other franchise in a box set and put that on Blu-ray too!  Good?  GOOD!  I’m wondering with the timing of these movies and the month they are getting released, if they weren’t strategically placed a while back in order to cash in on Fast & Furious 7 which was supposed to come out in July and they just ended up saying “screw it, release them anyway”.  Who knows?  What I do know is that this is awesome news and those of you who have not checked out Tony Jaa’s work should start right here with this series.  Below is a bit of information from the studio as well as the Amazon pre-order link.

PORTLANDIA Season 4 Comes To DVD!

Portlandia-Season-4I was late to the Portlandia party, but once I began I couldn’t stop and rifled through the first 3 seasons as quick as I had the time for them.  I didn’t manage to watch Season 4 as it aired, but alas, here it comes on DVD for me to check out.  This show consists of some incredibly funny sketch comedy, rivaling that of the legendary Mr. Show series in its style and execution.  There’s some really great guest spots and super fun recurring characters that populate this show’s depiction of Portland, Oregon.  It’s coming to that former top format DVD on August 26.  Pre-order now and read the details of this release from VSC when you scroll down.

Part crime story and part teenage delinquency drama, High School Confidential! is an unforgettable piece of trashy film history that was awarded a Golden Raspberry Award as one of The 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made.

Wishlist Fulfillment: LEPRECHAUN Complete Box Set Arrives Sept 30!

Leprechaun Complete CollectionNot too long ago I had a feeling this may or may not happen.  And here it is, the Leprechaun collection is hitting Blu-ray this fall.  You may remember it as the star of my St. Patty’s Day Blu-ray Wishlist piece a few months back.  The crazier, more ridiculous and cheaper this series gets, the more I tend to enjoy them.  This box set will also contain the WWE Films reimagining of the series Leprechaun: Origins as well.  So you get all 7 Leprechaun films in one shot.  Lionsgate is very much doing what Universal did with the Chucky set last year, which is a very smart move.  Most the information below is about Origins, but keep looking and you see this will be a complete set.  And yeah, I’m one of the few pretty stoked this is coming.
