Guide to Summer 2009 Blockbusters on Blu-ray
The summer of 2009 may have come to an end but the films that helped define it are just now making their way to Blu-ray Disc in 1080p high definition.
A couple such as Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Universal’s Land of the Lost snuck out the gate early and are already available in stores. But there are many more on the way between now and year’s end including District 9, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek and The Hangover, just to name a few.
I’ve been asked the same question on a few occasions now, “hey Dan, what’s new and good on Blu-ray for this holiday season?” Rather than spew out a lengthy outline full of catalog, music, documentary and other tertiary titles, I have put together the following chronological shopping list, or holiday buying guide if you will, of the more notable and recognizable films from the summer of 2009 debuting on Blu-ray. This way you can easily take stock of what you saw in theaters and want to see again, what you missed and have to see immediately when available, and what you may have been on the fence with but would consider renting.
