DVD AND BLU-RAY RELEASES FOR 11-10-09

Here are the DVDs and Blu-Rays releasing this week, Tuesday November 10, 2009.

DVD OF THE WEEK


UP - Releasing this week is Pixar's UP. Like most of Pixar's films, it is an instant classic. If you have kids, you’ve probably pre-ordered it. Even if you don’t, it is still a great film. On Blu-ray where it is being released along with Monsters, Inc. it looks even better. You can read my reviews of both films here.

DVDS RELEASING THIS WEEK

The Ugly Truth (Widescreen Edition) - Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler star in this romantic comedy.

Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut - Hope you didn’t buy the previous DVD set of WATCHMEN, as yet another release is already on the shelf.

The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 7: 1952-1954 - Every time one of these THREE STOOGES sets is released, I tell myself “Ok, now is the time to get around to watching the Stooges”. They are now on volume 7. The sets have gotten nothing but glowing reviews. Yet, I haven’t seen one. Maybe I’ll wait for the complete box set that will probably eventually be released. Or Blu-Ray.

The Accidental Husband - A comedy with Uma Thurman and Colin Firth. Yet, no one has heard of it.

A Christmas Proposal - A Christmas film with Nicole Eggert and Tom Arnold.

The Christmas Clause - Another Christmas film, this one with Lea Thompson. Funny, Nicole Eggert and Lea Thompson were two of my favorite actresses of the 80’s / early 90’s and here they are with Christmas films debuting on DVD the same day.

Spread - King of Twitter, Ashton Kutcher’s latest. I guess Twitter didn't help the box office.

The Merry Gentleman - Michael Keaton stars and directs this film. He appeared on Letterman to promote it, yet it didn’t get much of a release. I always liked Keaton.
