January 21st, 2011 by Sean Ferguson
We have some new information about the upcoming April 12 release of The Incredibles on Blu-ray and it is now available for Pre-order from Amazon.com! This is probably my favorite Pixar release and it combined several of my favorites together: the superhero world with a James Bond inspired production design and soundtrack from Michael Giacchino.

For those of you that don’t know, Jay Leno thinks that Kathleen Madigan is one of America’s best female comedians. Madigan is also the winner of an American Comedy Award winner for Best Female Comic and she was also a Last Comic Standing contestant. Even if you don’t recognize her name, you’ve probably seen her on Comedy Central or something else. For this Blu-ray, Madigan’s act was filmed in New York City’s Gramercy Theater. 
Last year during the inaugural season of Fox’s smash hit Glee, the show paid homage to one of the most controversial and popular performers in our midst today; Lady Gaga. Performing her hits such as “Bad Romance” and a playful ballad rendition of “Poker Face,” the cast proficiently carried her work to their show. So what’s next in store for the musical comedy? 
I’ll be honest…I really had extremely low expectations for this movie since the main star is a rapper who also happened to be the screenwriter for the movie. Curtis Jackson also known as “50 cent,” wrote and produced this movie because “…it was a socially conscious story about how guns go from the manufacturing point to retail and purchased by law-abiding citizens and how they fall into the wrong hands.” 
I actually caught wind of this from fellow WSB staffer Gerard Iribe as Warner Bros. officially announced today who the villains will be in Christopher Nolan’s next addition to the Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises. Who can they possibly be?!
This story about a legendary horse and the family that owned him is a perfect fit for the big screen but unfortunately, this is one race that Secretariat lost due to following Seabiscuit who stole a lot of his thunder. Secretariat has a great cast (Diane Lane, John Malkovitch, Scott Glenn, James Cromwell and a director (Randall Wallace), who is no stranger to making movies about historical events and people (he was involved in Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, and Pearl Harbor). 
My girl Christina comes home to Blu-ray this March as Burlesque takes center stage with a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on the 1st. The Blu-ray features include six exclusive show-stopping performances, a blooper real, an alternate opening and much more! This will be a Day 1 purchase for me on the format. Check out the full press release below from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and 
Count ’em…five, six, seven Oscars. A film doesn’t earn that kind of accreditation from being just good. When the world left the 1980’s behind, a new decade began, and with it, an impressive library of films found their way into our hearts and minds. Things didn’t just start off like a shot for 90’s cinema; it was more like a ‘kaboom’. One such film that contributed to this was 1990’s Dances with Wolves. Already well-established as an actor in Hollywood, Kevin Costner took to the director’s chair for the first time in his career with the western-oriented story penned by Michael Blake. Now available for the first time on Blu-ray, comes this incredible tale of a man who found his way. 
I cannot wait for this movie to finally come out on Blu-ray. February 8th can’t come quick enough! I hate wasting my life away, but for I Spit On Your Grave (the original and remake)…oh what the hell. The 2010 remake and the 1978 original cult classic will both make their way to Blu-ray the same date courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment. Check out the two clips below from the remake’s Blu-ray extras and the original trailer from the 1978 film. Pre-order both of them now! 
Since I am so late to the game with delivering a review of The Green Hornet, I thought I would try a slightly different approach here. How many of you already saw the film over the past weekend? Well according to Box Office Mojo, The Green Hornet scored the highest grossing opening ever for a live-action superhero comedy with an estimated take of $35 million. In my opinion, that’s pretty impressive for a film that everyone I know said they did not want to see. Now it should also be noted that this past weekend at the movies was also one of the least attended weekends in over a decade. So what’s that say? 
For fans of the first Death Race remake who wondered who Frankenstein was and how Death Race came to be, this movie is for them. Actually, this movie is also for anyone that enjoys vehicular destruction too. Death Race 2 despite being sold as a sequel is actually a prequel to the first movie. While this is a direct to Blu-ray release, Universal made sure to get some well known actors to headline the movie including Sean Bean, Luke Goss, Ving Rhames, and Danny Trejo.
