The Sopranos: The Complete Series on Blu-ray

Media By on Aug 14, 2014

One of the greatest TV series ever made, The Sopranos almost never got made. The story of Tony Soprano in a midlife crisis told not just a great story, but let everyone know that cable networks were more than just second tier. In November, HBO comes out with The Sopranos: The Complete Series. The Blu-ray collection compiles all 86 episodes in 1080 p, audio commentaries and conversations about the making of the series. If you haven’t seen it before, now’s the time to make way for some serious binge-watching. It’ll be rare to see the cultural impact of such a series ever again.

Media By on Sep 16, 2013

As Breaking Bad furiously finishes up its 5th and final season, pangs of anxiety are setting in for many a loyal follower of Walter White.

Django Unchained Blu-ray: Frankly, Quentin…

Media By on Apr 4, 2013

You know what would be a great double feature? Gone with the Wind followed by Django Unchained ($25 at Amazon). Quentin Tarantino’s in-your-face tale of a slave’s revenge is everything that that bloated bastard from 1939 is not—including a 180 degree turn on the Old South. Jamie Foxx takes the lead role, with Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson rounding out the all-star cast. This 2-disc package gives you the Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy, and Ultraviolet copy of the film.

The newly released Life of Pi ($28) was a big hit at the Academy Awards, taking home trophies for Best Director (Ang Lee), Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Original Score.

Skyfall: ray. Blu-ray.

Media By on Feb 5, 2013

If you missed Skyfall (about $25 on Amazon) in theaters a few months back, most people would say you missed a pretty good installment in the 007 franchise. Heck, Roger Ebert slapped four stars on it. So maybe you should rethink that box of chocolates for your lady and instead pick up this action-packed Blu-ray when it hits stores this Tuesday. Daniel Craig’s third crack at Bond features a classic opening chase scene and – what the? – the use of a Komodo dragon as a stepping stool.

Prometheus Collector’s Edition Blu-ray

Media By on Nov 2, 2012

For those of you eagerly awaiting the release of the Disney-produced Star Wars Episode VII, the new Prometheus 4-Disc Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Set ($60) may be a worthy and temporary solution. Now, this is directed to those who have a 3D television, because the 3D Blu-Ray disc only comes in the 4-Disc set. For those of you who don’t, get with it people! This isn’t, whatever, 1979! The fact that this is the same year the film Alien was released is an unintentional coincidence. The set also includes the 2D Blu-Ray, the Blu-Ray bonus disc, and the DVD + Digital copy disc. For the rest of you unfortunate people, get rich friends because there will be no VHS release.
