I’ve been playing videogames for 25 years now, since back when my dad first set me up in front of the Atari 400. With all that time invested, I find that very few games manage to surprise me. ‘Bastion’ is one that did.

In all the hoopla around this week’s Oscar nominations, several highly-acclaimed films from last year were (perhaps unfairly) ignored and left completely out of the running. One of them hit Blu-ray and streaming this week. Despite its lack of awards recognition, the movie still looks like a very worthy rental.

It should be a welcome development when a major home video studio owns up to a mistake it made on a Blu-ray title and moves quickly to implement a correction and exchange program. I don’t want to sound ungrateful or anything, but maybe it might have been a good idea to actually fix the error while doing so. Just a suggestion.

I’m not even going to link to the remake of ‘Carrie’, but I will call out one new movie in particular, whether you like it or not.

Maybe I just never noticed it before, but I only recently realized that VUDU has a wishlist feature both on the web site and within VUDU-enabled devices that tie together with each other and your account. Has this been there the whole time, or was this a recent addition? I’m not sure. In any case, I find this very handy to flag movies that I might be interested to rent at a later time, but am liable to forget about without a reminder.

The big news this week is that we’ll finally be getting a complete Blu-ray collection of all the James Bond movies later this year. Personally, I’m a fan of the box set artwork. Are you?
