Just when you thought there wasn't any way there was going to be any more super hero movies this year, along comes Sony with Hancock. While there's no way this is the biggest movie of the season -- Dark Knight is due in a few weeks -- it is easily the biggest movie of the week. Next up are a couple of solid catch up action titles, The Kingdom and Jarhead, from Universal which are most definitely entertaining. Fox and Warner both have something for the family with, Space Chimps and Fred Claus. There is a bit more to be excited about next week though as Disney, Fox, Sony and Universal all have at least one nice offering. - Hancock (Sony)
- The Kingdom (Universal)
- Jarhead (Universal)
- Meet Dave (Fox)
- Space Chimps (Fox)
- Fred Claus (Warner)
- Superman: Doomsday (Warner)
- Becket (MPI Media Group)
- Flesh for the Beast (Media Blasters, INC)
- Shadow: Dead Riot (Tokyo Shock)
- Talento de barrio (Maya)

Yuck. Even with Black Friday, the numbers from this week aren't going to help get that Christmas bonus for the BDA.

I'm being ignorant here, but why do they release animation/cartoons on Blu-ray? Is there really that big of a difference?
And I'm talking about cell based animation, not that CGI stuff.

I see a difference more in animated movies that "real people" movies in CGI stuff like Cars, WallE, etc. I can say that when I say South Park Imagination Land in HD it BLEW away the normal SD picture on Comedy Central. All the little lines have zero jaggies.

Yeah, I saw The Simpsons Movie on display for Blu-ray at BB and it really was beautiful. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it really did. The only way I can explain it is that it looks cleaner. Lines are perfect with no aliasing and colors are bright/crisp. Sound was stereo on the TV, but being that it was a movie, I'm guessing it was improved as well.
