DVD/Blu Ray Releases for 11/10/2009
Buying movies is almost a dangerous obession with me. I love it, and probably have spent more money on movies in my lifetime than any sane person. At least I’m not spending money on heroine.
New Movie Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Here are this week’s releases as well as my recommendations.
Being the film snob I am, I will recommend the Blu Ray versions of these flicks if available.
Must Buy:
Up
![Up (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51V%2Beipy8-L._SL210_.jpg) |
Average customer review: |
One of the best animated movies this year finally comes out on Blu-Ray. Disney/Pixar’s Up is a gem of a movie that is a triumph for both kids and adults. The only kids movie I know of that has an old man as it’s main character, Up comes highly recommended!

Near Dark Gets the Twilight Treatment with DVD Re-Release
Near Dark is one of the coolest Vampire movies ever made. It was over-shadowed by The Lost Boys back in 1987 but is a vastly superior Vampire story. Plus it has a handful of the cast from Aliens, including a very entertaining Bill Paxton. Also, it stars Adrian Pasdar, totally unknown then but known for his role as Nathan Petrelli in Heroes.
With the recent vampire-craze of Twilight and the much more credible True Blood, Lionsgate has re-released Near Dark with artwork eerily similar to Twilight’s DVD box art.
Lame.
Here’s my advice, go to Amazon.com right now and buy the 2 disc Anchor Bay Special Edition. It’s much more tasty (and only a few $$ more, used it’s even cheaper).
