NSFW: the teaser introduced us to Freddy’s past, but A Nightmare on Elm Street gets dicey (and slicey) for suburban teenagers in the present in this second full-length trailer.

It’s a must buy die for horror fans: the original Nightmare on Elm Street arrives on Blu-ray 4/6/10 and includes Ready Freddy Focus Points, alt. endings, featurettes, and commentaries.

If you’ve run out of Wonderflonium, fear not: Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog arrives on Blu-ray 5/25/10; it’ll include audio commentary, a making-of documentary, and bonus footage.

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).
