  1. @Moody_Critic Thank you, much appreciated!
  2. Here's that 'There Be Dragons' review I mentioned yesterday, for your reading pleasure: is.gd/Su6T1o
  3. Sharp deal: 'American Pie' on Blu-ray for $11.99 at Amazon, plus a $10 promo code to see 'AP: Reunion' from Fandango: is.gd/VIB1tx
  4. Looks like we're going to be getting domestic Blu-rays of 'Castle in the Sky' and 'Whisper of the Heart' soon. Pre-orders up at Amazon.
  5. @anaria Routinely, I end up buying at least three of Amazon's $5 mp3 albums a month. Usually a good selection -- and that's a GREAT album.
  6. Great to hear. RT @jenyamato: I loved THE HUNGER GAMES. Captured what I loved in the books, J. Law and cast solid.
  7. Little late -- I'm still playing catch-up -- but you can check out my Blu-ray review of 'Kung Fu Panda 2' @DVDTalkCom: is.gd/fskNvu
  8. Chipping away at a review for 'There Be Dragons'. Long story short: it ain't 'The Killing Fields' or 'The Mission', that's for damn sure.
  9. I fully anticipate @Criterion to announce a 'Certified Copy' Blu today, since this arrived from the UK this AM: twitpic.com/8kqmr9
  10. 'Dragon Tattoo' Blu-ray will arrive w/ Fincher commentary, scene analysis, and a fifteen-part supplemental "archive". Color me excited.
  11. Review of 'City of God' on Blu-ray up @DVDTalkCom: j.mp/wgGUxM
  12. @Joannalangfield @bensower @aisleseat Greatly appreciated, folks. :)
  13. @Ethan_Anderton Don't think I told you, but I ended up getting in on the $11 point (three, in fact, two as gifts) at a Best Buy in Georgia!
  14. Slowly getting back to normal. My mother passed away last month, due to complications with cancer. I'm a bit rusty, but we'll get on track.
  15. @AmyBoxoffice Totally agree re: ending to MMMM. I'm all for abrupt and irresolute, but that's too much so.
  16. Granted, you have to keep the source and artistic intent in mind, but it's a stunning, gritty HD presentation. #CityofGodBlu
  17. The lack of new features might be disappointing, but aside from a few speckles-'n-blips, the 'City of God' Blu-ray (out 12/13) is gorgeous.
  18. Some thoughts on 'The Debt', which I enjoyed. is.gd/UVHAsA
