Blu-Ray Releases for Tuesday 30th September 2008

The big release this week is without doubt Iron Man. I haven’t yet seen this so cannot offer an opinion, but I will maybe import it given that it is region-free. There are some comedy offerings in the form of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and from the same team, also released are The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. All three are available as a set or individually. Re-releases include The Sixth Sense and a clutch of horror / slasher movies such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Day Of The Dead.

This week’s French exclusives include Walk The Line (excellent film in an extended cut), Rendition (which if the UK release is anything to go by has a great transfer)
