Blu-ray Pick for July 7, 2009
2009
This week there are very few releases as it appears the studios took time off over the holiday. But we did manage to find a winner. It stars Nicolas Cage who we have always like even before he married Elvis’ daughter. Throw in 5 star audio, video and even the not so loved by all story line won’t detract from your enjoyment. Frankly anything by Alex Proyas we’ll recommend since he has never ending goodwill after giving us Dark City (Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray].
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!
