UK Blu-Ray Releases for Monday November 3rd 2008

Blu-Ray Releases for Tuesday 7th October 2008
This week looks to be fairly non-eventful in terms of big new releases. The majority of the US releases are re-issues or classics. Don’t get me wrong, there are some excellent titles in there such as The Omen Collection or Beetlejuice, but just nothing that really stood out for me. Of the new releases, we [...]

There are quite a few high profile releases this week, but without a doubt the most eagerly awaited is Sex and the City.

Blu-Ray Releases for 2nd September 2008
So here we go again with the weeks Blu-Ray disc releases. I know this isn’t strictly Sony news, but as a movie freak I enjoy finding out what new releases are coming up when and where. As you’ve maybe gathered from my previous posts there are often quite a few quirks with BD releases being [...]
