We're switching up the format a bit on the weekly Blu-ray release post, because the number of titles being released each week is so great, and the total number of titles so insignificate, that from now on we're just going to focus on the movies we find interesting and drop the title count all together -- mostly because it's impossible to keep accurate anyways. The biggest news this week is that Weinstein is finally releasing its first Blu-ray titles, so for the first time ever, every major Hollywood studio is on the Blu-ray band-wagon. The biggest title this week -- which isn't saying much -- is Sony's date-and-date 88 Minutes. Following the catalog and TV show releases trend we expect to see the rest of the month we have one of our favorite shows, Pushing Daisies, if you haven't seen this show in HD, the picture quality and female cast members alone, make it worth your while to take a look. The big catalog this week is a movie from our youth, Risky Business, which we look forward to checking it out in HD for the first time ever, but next week's Godfather series is sure to be a bigger seller.

IMO, The Mist is a great movie that I likely will watch again in HD. The acting is pretty terrible but the whole movie was worth the last 5 minutes.

Yeah, "The Mist" is hardcore and would make a great BD purchase.
Nice avatar, BTW.

Like he said the whole movie is junk until the last 5 mins then worth the entire thing

I haven't seen the mist, but 1408 was a really good movie that I think many people missed thinking it wasn't going to be that great.
I already have Speed Racer on pre-order; it was better than the reviews and was great in the theater and won't be done the same justice in SD, IMO.

1408 was a'ight. Not too scary, EXCEPT FOR THAT DAMN GINGER THAT KEPT POPPING UP WITH A FREAKIN AXE. Nearly pissed my pants...

Why is the box for 88 Minutes trying to pass itself off as the Bourne Supremacy? It must be a real stinker...
