Awesome Movies

It’s still running in some theaters, but buying Sherlock Holmes on Blu-ray (3/30/10) is elementary, my dear Watson: it includes the Maximum Movie Mode with director Guy Ritchie.

Brooklyn’s Finest is also Hollywood’s finest, with a cast that includes Richard Gere, Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke, and Don Cheadle; it’s about NYPD officers in Brooklyn’s 65th precinct.

Sure, it’s geared towards kids, but the Academy Award-nominated The Secret of Kells wins us over with its fantastic animation style and imaginative Celtic storyline. Thanks, Thorir!

Available 4/13/10: Apollo 13 finally lands on Blu-ray for its 15th anniversary; it’ll feature 2.35:1 1080p video and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio plus a feature commentary with Ron Howard.

Lord British finally rules space as well as Britannia in Man on a Mission; follow Richard Garriott as he makes millions in gaming and then uses it to spend 12 days in space aboard the ISS.

Hollywood’s been robbing the sequel and reboot trains for years, but it could be much worse: Worth1000’s Mate A Movie is an unholy union of zombies, vampires, Vulcans, and Pandorans.

Saving Private Ryan arrives on Blu-ray 5/4/10: it’s a two-disc set with 2.35:1 1080p HD, English 5.1 DTS-HD audio, and 3 hours of bonuses including 8 featurettes and 2 documentaries.

Killers isn’t the first romantic comedy/assassin movie ever, but we’ll watch any flick with Tom Selleck (and his ‘stache) at least once; in theaters 6/4/10, it stars Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl.

UK Director Neil Marshall’s Centurion has all the makings of an ancient Black Hawk Down; it’s an adventure survival flick about Roman soldiers ambushed and left behind enemy lines.

There’s no word on a U.S. release, but we’re liking Zonad’s mix of quirky humor, 50s-style American suburbia and B-movie sci-fi themes; it’s due out in Ireland March 19, 2010.

As promised, Toy Story 3’s second trailer is now up: while we get a better idea of the plot, we’re loving Pixar’s slightly risqué sense of humor–nice ascots and lincoln logs, anyone?

If you found the Superbowl Teaser to be too short, this kickass theatrical trailer for The Last Airbender is guaranteed to leave you in an Avatar state with actual dialog and plot exposition.

It’s a pity this District 9 Arc Generator is sold out, because we’d love to get our hands/claws/whatever on it; the full-size movie replica is limited to 200 pieces (may require alien DNA).

Thanks to a successful run at 2009 Sundance, blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite blasts its way onto DVD/Blu-ray on 2/16/2010; both include commentary, extra scenes, and featurettes.

Ong Bak 3 won’t arrive stateside for awhile, but Ong Bak 2 is now out on DVD, Blu-ray, and as a two-disc Collector’s Edition; the latter includes behind the scenes and making of featurettes.

The lack of words only adds to the haunting visuals in this Red Hill trailer; it takes No Country for Old Men, gives it a Old West spit-shine, and sends it down under to high-country Australia.

Left 4 Dead fans, eat your hearts (and brains) out: A.D. is a CG animated zombie flick with a jaw-dropping, bad-ass style we can’t get enough of; it’s directed by Ben Hibon of Codehunters fame.

This Ong Bak 3 trailer is light on plot but is a heavy-hitter both in terms of action and a few fan-tusk-tic costars; Tony Jaa will be all fists, feet, and fury when he arrives in Thai theaters in April.

NSFW: the guy who created the epic Phantom Menace review is back with an epic Avatar review; if you’ve been looking for a totally un-PC antidote to Avatar’s hyper-PC themes, this is it.

Buy the one 1978 animated film to rule them all with Lord of the Rings: Remastered Deluxe Edition; it includes remastered audio and video plus a 30 minute interview with director Ralph Bakshi.

This Amity Island Boat Hire t-shirt may give visitors a sinking feeling, but any fish dumb enough to tangle with Roy will bite off more than they can chew; still, they’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Get one of the best movies (mob or otherwise) ever made: Goodfellas 20th Anniversary Edition is a 2-disc Blu-ray set with booklet, commentaries, featurettes, and feature-length documentary.

Get a double-dose of Akira Kurosawa’s legendary samurai-meets-spaghetti western flicks with the Yojimbo & Sanjuro two-pack; it’s an HD 1080p 2.35:1 transfer with Dolby Digital 3.0.
