BLU-RAY/DVD NEW RELEASES 10-20-09

I apologize for the last 2 weeks.  I announced the releases on The Film List Podcast, but I promise I will not miss a week from here on out on the blog.  I will make it my dencity….I mean my destiny.

Over the next couple of weeks, releases will be of that horror theme as we approach Halloween.  Also from here on out, we will continue to get the summer blockbusters (Or lack there of) released, ie. Wolverine, Transformers, etc.

As you can see, late October isn’t kind to the amazing new content for home viewing.   But as we reach November, the holiday push is evident with many great upcoming blu-ray releases : Star Trek, Lost season 5, Heat, Snatch, and Fight Club.

Here is Blu-Ray new releases for this Tuesday, OCTOBER 20, 2009 :

Movies Out on DVD only :

Made in U.S.A. : Criterion Collection
With its giddily complex noir plot and widescreen, color-drenched images, Made in U.S.A was a final burst of exuberance from Jean-Luc Godard’s early-sixties barrage of delirious movie-movies. Yet this chaotic crime thriller and acidly funny critique of consumerism—featuring Anna Karina as the most brightly dressed private investigator in film history, rummaging through an intricate plot for a former lover who might have been assassinated—also points toward the more political cinema that would come to define Godard. Featuring characters with names such as Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, David Goodis, and Doris Mizoguchi, and appearances by a slapstick Jean-Pierre Léaud and a sweetly singing Marianne Faithfull, this piece of pop art is like a Looney Tunes rendition of The Big Sleep gone New Wave. Buy Made in U.S.A.: Criterion Collection on DVD.

TV ON  DVD (Blu-Ray release noted) :

 

“Pushing Daisies”: The Complete Second Season  (Blu-Ray and DVD)
This forensic fairytale follows Ned, a young man with a very special gift. As a boy, Ned discovered that he could return the dead briefly back to life with just one touch. Now a pie maker, Ned puts his ability to good use, not only touching dead fruit and making it ripe with everlasting flavor, but working with a private investigator to crack murder cases by raising the dead and getting them to name their killers. But the tale gets complicated when Ned brings his childhood sweetheart, Chuck, back from the dead — and keeps her alive. Chuck becomes the third partner in Ned and Emerson’s private-investigation enterprise, encouraging them to use Ned’s skills for good, not just for profit. Life would be perfect for Ned and Chuck, except for one cruel twist: If he ever touches her again, she’ll go back to being dead, this time for good. Buy “Pushing Daisies”: The Complete Second Season on DVD.

PRISON BREAK : THE FINAL BREAK (Blu-Ray and DVD)  Please Note : This isn’t the final season on blu-ray.  It’s a special unaired movie that is inserted into end of show before the ending.  Went to Best Buy today thinking the final season was coming out on blu-ray, but no.  This is a 89 minute mini movie not aired.
