Blu-ray releases on July 15th, 2008
Another slow week for blu-ray, but not as slow as last week as there are a few day and date releases. The biggest title this week is from the British imported Jason Statham, who has made quite a few fun action movies lately, but surprisingly The Bank Job did pretty well on IMDB too, with a score of 7.6 out of 10. Fox's new release on the other hand, is at the other end of the spectrum with a pitifully low 4.7. Disney has a couple of movies this week that look funny; if you like Martin Lawrence you may look past the bad reviews College Road Trip received, and laugh anyways. Or, maybe you'd prefer -- we doubt it -- Step Up 2: The Streets, since part one was so unforgettable. Meanwhile, Warner has a classic catalog, that must be before our time with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Next week the real fun starts as Universal finally goes Blu, but we wish the big U would've launched with a better franchise than the Brendan Fraser Mummy series.Blu-ray

The Bank Job is on the way for me. It's received a lot of great reviews, and I think Jason Statham is quite underrated as an actor. I'm looking forward to watching it in the comfort of an top-notch theater--at home!

I saw The Bank Job at the theater and absolutely loved it. If you're expecting a typical non stop action type Jason Statham movie you might be disappointed, but if you keep your mind off that you'll like it.

With only 1 out of 6 likely to sell in any quantity, The numbers aren't going to be all that hot for this week. Oh well, we can't get must buy releases every week.

Martin Lawrence?!!?
Eddie Murphy movies used to be good....then, a few years ago, the main "draw" of all his films seemed to become "Eddie Murphy in elaborate make-up/costumes portraying 38 different characters....mostly fat ladies, old ladies, and nerds."
Everybody's tastes are different, but I'll never understand how that sort of thing even qualifies as a movie.
Martin Lawrence's recent career seems pretty similar, though his name was never as big as Eddie Murphy's. But Martin's movies seem to be all costumes and corniness, and the previews are enough to drive me from every seeing them. Who are these films even marketed for? Bleh.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is one of the best movies ever. Sadly this week is otherwise pretty pathetic for blu. Looks like studios are holding back the goodies for August and September.
