Why So Blu?

Want Some Kick-Ass Blu-ray News?

Would you settle for just the announcement that Kick-Ass (my #4 movie of the year so far) is coming to Blu-ray on August 3rd?  That’s right!  Lionsgate Home Entertainment made the official announcement yesterday.  The Blu-ray combo pack will feature a 1080p AVC MPEG-4 video presentation and an arse-kicking 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround track.  And if that’s not enough, well then there’s a whole bunch of extras and goodies slated for the release too.  See below for a list of bonus features that you can expect from this thrilling Blu-ray release.  Rock on!
