Sony Narnia Blu-ray + 3d glasses (2 sets) bundle for $92

Pretty nice deal if you need some extra 3d glasses, you can always trade Narnia in or give it away.

I'm sure you're right.

What's the deal with Evil Dead 2? Isn't that out already? Is it just a re-release?

Its a 25th Anniversary release. I know Bruce Campbell recorded a new commentary/interview for it and that it has a new DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio as opposed to just the Dolby Digital 5.1 on the previous release. I personally avoided the first release as its heavily DNRd and only marginally better than an upscaled DVD. I'm hoping this new release is a full remaster but nothing has officially been confirmed that I know of yet.

Good to know! Hopefully it is a re-mastered edition.

I wish they'd re-master Halloween, with the correct color timing. I hate not having that movie on Blu.

Oh I fully hear you on that one. I own Halloween on BD and while it isn't quite as bad as people make it out to be it is far from what a definitive HD transfer should be. The film deserves better.

The worst offender has to be Bram Stoker's Dracula though. That BD is unwatchable. I can't believe Coppola supervised the remaster and darkened the film to a point where you lose almost all the depth and background detail. I refuse to buy it.

Yes that was a disappointment, I do own it. I had it pre-ordered and found out the hard way about the transfer.

Where the heck is Finding Nemo, or even Dumbo for that matter. Can't find them anywhere - almost like they only made 1,000 of them or something. Wasnt this released not too long ago?

[VaultMan]

Nevermind, I see Dumbo - 9/20/11 on BR

but no Nemo...
