Hi Bryan Here…

Third week of November already, which means next week will be the big Thanksgiving sale week and I expect tons of stuff to go on sale.  Wow time is flying by.  A few good releases this week, so let us get down to business.  As usual, in this article, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and sales.

Enjoy and Here We Go!!

AVATAR EXTENDED COLLECTOR’S EDITION (BLURAY)


So here again…is another release of the biggest selling film of all time.  Avatar.  The last release, if you bought it like me, was only the movie and a main menu.  That was it.  A complete bare bones release.  This time around, is a fairly extensive collection of features, but not all of it I imagine. Because, in just a few short months, they will be releasing this film yet again on 3-D bluray.  And I bet after that, there will be the 3-D special edition.  But all the deleted scenes on this disc are super cool and worth the purchase.  I do recommend this release, strictly for the cool features, but I do suspect this wont be the last one with features on it.

    SPIDER-MAN (BLURAY)


    Finally, this is coming out individually.  Before today, you could only get this bluray in the trilogy set.  And I have no desire to own part 3.  But this film  was so good.  Sam Raimi did a hell of a job bringing Spidey to the big screen.  It is a true pleasure to watch this gorgeous film again in high def.


    EXTRAS


    Same as the features on the previously released trilogy set.


    SPIDER-MAN 2 (BLURAY)


    Just like above this finally came out individually for me to drool over.  I think this sequel was just as good if not better than the 1st film.  Loved every minute of it.  Again, so happy to have this in high def.


    EXTRAS


    Same as the features on the previously released trilogy set.
