Sorry for the lack of updates

There has been some stuff go on in the last while, but nothing super exciting. As for the movies that have arrived in theaters this month, it's been decent. Besides 9, I have seen All About Steve and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. All About Steve was actually pretty funny, I won't declare it as the best comedy I have seen, but it certainly isn't the worst, there were parts where I was laughing hard. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was also really funny, and was very wacky and crazy, but still enjoyable nonetheless, that is certainly one that would be one to take the whole family to see.

Now, if any of you are Mac users like me, Apple is about to reveal their new iMac line, and with some cool features according to Apple Insider. Maybe we will see a Blu-Ray drive included with the new Macs.

Next week on DVD and Blu-Ray, we will see Monsters Vs. Aliens arrive, I recommend checking that one out, it was pretty good. Also, Wizard of Oz sees it's debut on Blu-Ray, as well as Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. I am excited for Labyrinth and Dark Crystal, as I think there are really good films. October also continues to see the release of the big summer films.

9 review

As you are now aware, the summer season is officially over. Now we head into the Fall season, in hopes for some good blockbusters coming up. Well, All About Steve came out last weekend, I haven't seen it yet, but it does look funny, and I have had some people say it's good. But I did get to catch 9 this afternoon. This movie has been advertised since Christmas of last year, so we have had 9 months to build hype for this movie, and it came out today, being 9/9/09, obviously no coincidence, but well thought out marketing. I was really impressed with it. The movie is about a group of 9 stitched up little robots who must stop the machines that have destroyed mankind. The visuals were amazing. A unique style to the film. I highly recommend it. Just so you know, that it is a dark movie.

So you know, there is a soundtrack for the movie, and it includes the song that has played on the trailers, which is "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Combria. The rest of it is the score to the movie, which I found enjoyable.

And also, this movie is based on a short that was released 4 years ago. It was also done by Shane Acker, who directed this movie. You can find the short by following this link.

What DVDs are on the way?

Today is a new month, we are done with August and are now in September. And today being a Tuesday, you may wonder what is coming out today on DVD and Blu-Ray. First of all, State of Play arrives, it stars Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. It was a solid film and I recommend checking it out if you haven't. Also, Heroes Season 3 arrives as well, if you are a fan of the series. Both Gladiator and Braveheart arrive on Blu-Ray for the first time. Earth arrives as well, the Disney film that contains footage of an already great series, Planet Earth.

You may ask what arrives in the next few months. X-Men Wolverine arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray September 15, so you may want to mark your calendars. Monsters Vs. Aliens arrives on September 29, as well that day, The Wizard of Oz arrives on Blu-Ray for the first time as well, and Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal make their Blu-Ray debuts on that day too. So far, that is a lot to look for on that month.

If you want to look for releases that came out this summer. Here is a brief idea of what you can find on Blu-Ray and DVD in the next few months. The Proposal and Land of the Lost arrive on October 13. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen comes out October 20. Disney and Pixar's Up arrives November 10, and Star Trek beams aboard on November 17. There are still plenty that we are waiting for official word, like Angels and Demons, Terminator Salvation, Harry Potter, etc. Also, if you are looking to increase your Blu-Ray collection, Lord of the Rings trilogy arrives November 3, along with Forrest Gump. So yeah, plenty to look forward to.
