“OPPO BDP-80 Blu-ray – $289 at Amazon.” — Staff


Two Lovers [Blu-ray]

This week it wasn’t even a contest. Two Lovers aces the first three items in our weighted list and there wasn’t another release even close. A quick check at IMDB.com (7.5) and rogerebert.suntimes.com (3 1/2 stars) confirmed we had a winner.

Every Tuesday we pick our favorite new Blu-ray release. When possible we spotlight lesser known titles as they are easily overlooked and often under-appreciated. Although occasionally a blockbuster becomes one for good reason and we won’t hold it against them. Our selections are based on entertainment value and takes into account the following weighted in the order listed.

  • Story-line
  • Acting
  • Overall execution of the movie
  • Our taste in movies
  • Video image
  • Audio mix

At times we will selection a concert, TV series or other material. The absolute deciding factor comes down to what we want to view in the theater on release day. If it tops that list it’s our pick!
