The list of new DVD and Blu-ray releases this week tally in the mid-300′s. Is that crazy or what? Amongst the new discs coming out this week, the bigger names include Season of the Witch and Sucker Punch. Older titled finally landing on Blu-ray isn’t huge, but there is Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 and Joss Whedon’s Serenity Blu-ray combo pack being released.
And yes, the highly anticipated release of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is coming out on Blu-ray!
I’m amazed I got this out, even if it is a day later than usual! I spent the weekend covering the NASCAR event at Sonoma as a press photographer and found myself pretty busy with that. I had a great time and even got a hot-lap around the track from a professional driver. (I now know how all my passengers feel! Gads, my apologies to everyone!)
