Take a dive Into The Blu today and check out Gregg Senko’s newest Blu-ray review of Robert DeNiro’s Ronin. In the words of The Bagpiper himself…”I remember back in the late 90’s when I saw the trailer for Ronin starring Robert DeNiro. It looked like an international spy thriller, which, in my mind, was a role that was a bit out of sorts for the actor. Then again, if the star is a good actor, and DeNiro is one of the best, than he should pull this off, regardless of what we’re used to seeing him play. I never did get around to seeing it back then, so the film’s release on Blu-ray was my first experience with it…and what a great format to introduce yourself to a film.

Wow! This is going back in time to some wonderful childhood memories when I first discovered the “Muscles from Brussels,” Jean Claude Van Damme. Kickboxer was one of Van Damme’s biggest domestic box office hits. The film hit the theatres in 1987 and I remembered being glued to my television watching the VHS version of this movie over and over again, practicing Van Damme’s every move. Ahh…to be young again… Anyway, I am pleased to report that Lionsgate will be bringing Kickboxer to the Blu-ray format on June 16th as a special low priced Blu-ray. So I would not expect much in the way of any significant extras or bonus features. Continue reading ‘Van Damme’s Kickboxer Punches Blu-ray’
