The Week's Top-10 Blu Ray

Top 10 New Releases on Blu Ray
Blu-ray10.evjoy.com : November 6th, 2009 - Welcome!

This week: "Adventures With Purpose". It just sounds good, doesn't it? It makes a good theme, and an exceptional documentary series as well. We're up to here in decent new releases this week; a bit over our usual 10, so be prepared to scroll a bit...

Wings of Desire (Criterion Collection) ~ Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander, Peter Falk (2009)

The purpose in this film is to ask: is a purely spiritual existence enough of an adventure? (Evidently, angels can't see color, but their monochrome vision warrants 1080p.)

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (Two-Disc Edition + Digital Copy) ~ (2009)

Heavy on the adventure, light on the purpose.

(65)

North by Northwest (50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Book) ~ Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, and Martin Landau (2009)

Has anyone uncovered why Hitchcock named this suspense classic N/NW? He's not even sure he was so sure... ya gotta love the creative mind. Beautifully shot & scripted.

(332)

Forrest Gump [Chocolate Box Giftset Edition] ~ Tom Hanks, Sally Field (2009)

Forrest Gump [Just A Regular Guy Edition]
A contemporary classic. Goes well with this weeks theme too.

Sunshine Cleaning ~ Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Jason Spevack, Mary Lynn Rajskub (2009)

Would-be crime-scene cleaners, take note - there's good money here, but you'll spend it all on psychiatry bills.
