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



Watchmen (Director’s Cut) (Amazon Digital Bundle + Digital Copy and BD-Live) [Blu-ray]

This week the pickings are slim although 12 Monkeys certainly deservers a viewing. However we decided to break the rules and pick Watchmen which was released last week. Since we have a personal attachment to last week’s pick it seems only fair to get this release a second chance.

You certainly know whether you typically enjoy this genre of film and if so you are good to go. The story-line is solid and the audio and video won’t disappoint. For true enthusiasts it’s one of those can’t miss films. The video is so pristine it brings about that all so desired 3D look and the audio easily matches its performance the entire time. Sit back and enjoy being transported to another place and time!

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!
