Blu-Day
I am off from work tomorrow. The first day off after a 7 day stretch... and I plan on doing nothing all day long but veg out in front of the TV watching movies. I have gotten quite a few Blu-Ray discs lately... so thought I would work on getting some of them watched. Some of the films I have seen before... just never on Blu-ray. See below some of the films I have to choose from...Hatchet Region A Released: 9/7/2010 Widescreen 1.78 Big Region A Released: 5/12/2009 Widescreen 1.85 American Pie Presents: The Book of Love Regions ABC Released: 12/22/2009 Widescreen 1.78 Sorority Row Region A Released: 2/23/2010 Widescreen 2.40 Blue Crush 2 All RegionsRegions ABC Released: 6/7/2011 Widescreen 1.78 Repo Men Regions ABC Released: 7/27/2010 Widescreen 2.40 Frank Miller's Sin City Regions ABC Released: 4/21/2009 Widescreen 1.85 Conan the Barbarian Region A Released: 11/22/2011 Widescreen 2.35 Star Trek Into Darkness Regions AllRegions AllA Released: 9/10/2013 Widescreen 2.40 Spider-Man 3 Region A Released: 10/30/2007 Widescreen 2.40 Legion Regions ABC Released: 5/11/2010 Widescreen 2.40 Priest Regions ABC Released: 8/16/2011 Widescreen 2.40 Zookeeper Regions AllRegions AllA Released: 10/11/2011 Widescreen 2.40 Spider-Man Regions ABC Released: 6/12/2012 Widescreen 1.85 Spider-Man 2 Region A Released: 6/12/2012 Widescreen 2.40 Zombie Night Region A Released: 12/10/2013 Widescreen 1.78 Beverly Hills Chihuahua Region A Released: 3/3/2009 Widescreen 2.40 Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 Regions AllRegions AllABC Released: 2/1/2011 Widescreen 1.78 Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta!

Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Spanish: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Stars:Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern Blake Lively as Carol Ferris Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond Mark Strong as Sinestro Tim Robbins as Hammond Jay O. Sanders as Carl Ferris Plot:Experience the action as it was meant to be seen as Green Lantern takes flight in full HD! In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, an elite force of protectors for peace and justice has existed for centuries. They are the GREEN LANTERN CORPS. When a new enemy called PARALLAX threatens to destroy the universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of the Corps' newest recruit, the first human ever selected: HAL JORDAN (Ryan Reynolds). Extras:Scene Access Deleted Scenes Featurettes Picture-in-picture BD-Live Digital Copy Theatrical and Extended Cuts, Maximum Movie Mode My Thoughts: I actually started this film a day or two ago... but didn't get the chance to finish it at the time. I have read some less then favorable reviews for this film... as well as seen it made fun of on shows such as The Big Bang Theory. But I always liked this film. But that could have something to do with the fact that I have been a fan of Ryan Reynolds. And I thought he was a good choice to play Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, I also liked how they did the others in the Green Lantern Corp. This is something like the 3rd time I watched it since it was released... and I found I enjoyed it just as much this time as I did on previous viewings. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Zombie Night: Unrated VersionIMDb | Wikipedia | Trailer | Year: 2013 Director: John Gulager Writer: Richard Schenkman (Story By), Keith Allan (Writer), Delondra Williams (Writer) Rating: Unrated Length: 88 Min. Video: Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1 Subtitles: None Stars:Anthony Michael Hall as Patrick Daryl Hannah as Birdy Alan Ruck as Joseph Rachel G. Fox as Tracie Jackson Shirley Jones as Nana Jennifer Taylor as Karin Plot:As night falls in a small California town, the dead rise from its graves, mausoleums, and morgues. The townspeople must fight to survive until sunrise. Extras:Scene Access Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: This is actually a TV movie that originally aired this past year on the SyFy Channel. The first thing I notice is... Damn! there is a lot of trailers you have to get through before you can even get to the main menu! I don't mind trailers before the menu,,, but they shouldn't disable the menu button to easily bypass them if you choose to do so. It did allow you to hit next to skip the currently playing trialer... but that was it... and you couldn't skip the final trailer at all. As for the movie itself... being a SyFy Original Film... I went into it with lowered expectations... as some of their movies can be rather cheesy. And it was probably a good thing I did so... I must say.. after finally finishing off the latest season of The Walking Dead... this one is a bit of a let down when it comes to zombie fun. I won't go so far to say this is a bad movie... but there isn't much here that I haven't seen elsewhere before... and the zombies themselves need a bit of work. Basically the best I can give this is an average film. I could see myself watching it again so will keep it in my collection. Though it isn't one I would watch often. My Rating:

If you've never seen any of these before, I'd give them a shot:
Sin City
Star Trek Into Darkness
Spider-Man 1-3
The Lost Boys I was actually considering some of these (and may watch one or two of them)... but to fit more in I was thinking I should concentrate on films less then 2hrs each. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: The Lost BoysIMDb | Wikipedia | Trailer | Year: 1987 Director: Joel Schumacher Writer: Janice Fischer (Story By), James Jeremias (Story By), Janice Fischer (Screenwriter), James Jeremias (Screenwriter), Jeffrey Boam (Screenwriter) Rating: R Length: 97 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby TrueHD: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, German: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Italian: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Spanish: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Spanish: Dolby Digital: Mono, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish Stars:Jason Patric as Michael Corey Haim as Sam Dianne Wiest as Lucy Barnard Hughes as Grandpa Edward Herrmann [Ed Herrmann] as Max Kiefer Sutherland as David Plot:Sam and his older brother Michael are average, everyday teens. But after they move with their mother to peaceful Santa Clara, California, things mysteriously begin to change. Michael's not himself lately. And Mom's not going to like what he's turning into. The Lost Boys reshapes vampire tradition, deftly mixing heart-pounding terror, rib-tickling laughs and a body-gyrating rock soundtrack. Under Joel Schumacher's direction, a marvelous cast – Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Barnard Hughes, Edward Herrmann and Dianne Wiest – stakes you to gleefully ghoulish entertainment. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Gallery Interactive Games Multi-angle Music Videos My Thoughts: This is one I actually upgraded from the DVD... as it is one of my favorite vampire films. It is one I have seen countless times...one that I never tire of. This movie is the first thing I ever seen Keifer Sutherland in... and I think he did an awesome job in it. I also think Jason Patric did a great job as Michael. and I definitely couldn't help but to enjoy the Old Fart (Grandpa)... I just get such a kick out of him and all the stuffed animals he gave to Sam. Definitely one I would highly recommend to any horror fan... especially vampire fans. Though I do believe most all horror fans probably seen this one by now! My Rating:

K. Simmons [J.K. Simmons] as J. Jonah Jameson Plot:Two years have passed since the mild-mannered Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) walked away from his longtime love Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) and decided to take the road to responsibility as Spider-Man. Peter must face new challenges as he struggles to cope with "the gift and the curse" of his powers while balancing his dual identities as the elusive superhero Spider-Man and life as a college student. The relationships Peter holds most dear are now in danger of unraveling as he clashes with the powerful, multi-tentacled villain Doctor Octopus aka "Doc Ock" (Alfred Molina). Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Featurettes Outtakes/Bloopers Digital Copy My Thoughts: Even though I still enjoyed this movie very much... I never cared for it as much as the first one.... almost... but not as much. I don't like the whole storyline of Peter Parker loosing his ability for a while. I don't like that so many people got to see Spider-Man without his mask on... which is something that I hate about all the Spider-Man movies. The only person that I can accept seeing him without his mask is Mary Jane. To me that felt right. But Doc Ock, Harry and the train full of people shouldn't have happened. Well maybe Harry as it was really needed for the storyline. But that is it. Even though they never said it in the movie... you also get the feeling that Aunt May also knows about Peter being Spider-Man. I did however really enjoy seeing him go up against Doc Ock. I thought they did a good job with him. My Rating:

But when a strange alien symbiote turns Spider-Man's suit black, his darkest demons come to light - changing Spider-Man inside as well as out. Spider-Man is in for the fight of his life against a lethal mix of villains - the deadly Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Venom (Topher Grace), and the New Goblin (James Franco) - as well as the enemy within himself. Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Featurettes Gallery Music Videos Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: As big of a Spider-Man fan as I am... this is a bit difficult for me to say. But the franchise took a bit of a nose-dive for me with this movie. I mean it is still a decent movie... but it just had so much more potential. Maybe if they didn't try to cram so much into it. I mean they had no less then 3 supervillians in this one movie. Maybe if they concentrated on just one or no more then two at once they would have been able to make it better. And how they handled his... what would you call it? I guess for the lack of a better term... possession that Peter went through with Venom. It just didn't work for me. It seemed to make Peter more idiotic then so much aggressive. What was up with all that stupid dancing? Dancing down the street. Some stupid dance show in that club MJ was singing in... It just didn't fit for me. With all that said... it is still Spider-Man... it is still loaded with action... it still looked incredible. My Rating:
