I'm in for Miracle. Probably my favorite of the "Inspirational Sports Movie" genre.

greatest game ever played - woohoo - I liked that movie.

It's nice to have a release date for Sling Blade.

I wonder if Sling Blade will be the director's cut. Last time I saw this on Showtime HD it was the theatrical.

Greatest Game Ever Played for me. One of my favorite sports movies. I can finally replace the old copy I have. Held off on the cheapo DVD hoping the BD would be sooner rather than later. Miracle is a great movie, but we have the SD we got my son for Christmas the year it came out and it's sat there after one viewing. Won't bother replacing but may grab a rental to check it out in 1080p.

I like Paramount's aggressiveness on catalog titles.

I just hope the quality isn't lackluster. They're up to around 20+ titles scheduled between the end of April to the beginning of June.

Shockingly a good chunk of them are ones I'd buy (or rent). Still....I'd like to see other studios like Disney step up.

I will ignore these Blu-ray releases.

Grumpy Old Men coming to blu-ray on July 7th, It doesn't say anything on extras, but I can finally ditch my original fullscreen dvd, I hope Warner Bros. doesn't forget about the sequel.

June 9th is official "cheat on your spouse day"...

Sweet. Looks like Chuck's takin' ol one-eye to the optometrist!

This gives me hope another old 4:3 WB comedy, Funny Farm, will be released on BD.

As will I.

HDRoom posted that Van Helsing, Red Dragon, and Big Trouble in Little China will all arrive in late Spring or early Summer.

Also, Paul Blart should be arriving on May 19.

Interesting Uni didn't go for the tie-in with Wolf Man.

YES.

My day has officially been made.

Oh yeah, Big Trouble (and Van Helsing-yes it's one of my popcorn flick guilty pleasures)!

Day 1 purchase. No horse shit.
