This week, stuffed amongst the new DVD & Blu-ray releases coming out in Tuesday, May 29th, 2012, include HBO’s vampires, men stuck on ledges and a few other classic TV series titles and movies that have come to Blu-ray.
But first up, from the sales week ending on May 19th, I see that many folk were waiting for The Grey with Liam Neeson to come out, as well as chronicle. Game of Thrones has also been in the top-10 list since it was released and a few Avenger character movies surged back into the top-10 since Joss Whedon’s The Avengers have been kicking butt at the box office.
Grey, The- Chronicle
- Underworld: Awakening
- Vow, The
- One for the Money
- Thor
- Contraband
- Captain America: The First Avenger
- Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

Movies:
The [numbers] after the movie titles are the IMDb scores, x/10. It’s my way of referencing what others thought of the movie. For me, anything above 6 is acceptable. Above 7 gets pretty good to awesome. Obviously some adjustments need to be made if you’re a fan of a star who might be in a poorly scored movie and such. But this is more or less my recommendation []. I think anything over a ’5.5′ is worthy of considering for rental, ’7′ for purchasing.
