Full Metal Jackets: Kaiju Attack!
Any movie about giant robots ought to be an obvious candidate for the SteelBook treatment on Blu-ray. It seemed fairly inevitable, therefore, that director Guillermo del Toro’s rock-’em/sock-’em robots vs. monste...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of Oct. 13th, 2013 – Fantasy and M
This week brings us some science that is quite weird indeed. Giant robots, deranged surgeons, slutty cyber-vixens, clones and teleportation all prominently feature in the latest batch of Blu-ray releases. My creation, is it real? ...
Weekend Movies: And I Ran, I Ran So Far Away
Two disaster films open this week. One is about a disaster, and the other simply is a disaster.
Now Playing: ‘Gravity’ Rises to the Top
You’re bound to read all sorts of hyperbolic love for Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’. Just so you know, it’s all true.
Full Metal Jackets: I’ll Get You, My Pretty
In another recent post here, I lamented about the frustration that SteelBook and metal case collectors face when foreign retailers with exclusive product refuse to ship to the buyer’s country. Almost as annoying is when a re...
Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 29th, 2013 – I’
As September draws to a close, the first Blu-ray slate for the new month brings us two great family classics refreshed and (some would say needlessly) converted to 3D, plus a newer 3D animated film that probably won’t be rem...

It’s time to trek through the stars once again. This week’s high-def releases bring us a curious mix of intrepid space explorers and supernatural serial killers. Read all about them in today’s Blu-ray roundup.
Now Playing: Wrong ‘Direction’
It was only a matter of time before someone made a concert film about One Direction, but I never could have guessed it would be Morgan Spurlock, the guy who gave us the Oscar-nominated documentary ‘Supersize Me’ and th...
Full Metal Jackets: Faster Than a Speeding Bullet
This one’s a gimme. I don’t imagine that it will surprise too many metal case collectors to hear that the summer blockbuster ‘Man of Steel’ will be made available on Blu-ray in SteelBook packaging. After al...
Blu-ray Highlights: Week of August 25th, 2013 – There Is No
The dog days of August are almost over. Hopefully, we’ll see some more interesting Blu-ray releases come down the pike next month. In the meantime, Michael Bay makes a trashy movie about scummy lowlifes, while Baz Luhrmann a...
