Blu Ray Disc Releases for Tuesday January 31st 2012

[clutchcityrockets]

I think I prefer the artwork for the Canadian Blu-Ray of Drive (don`t get me started on the unfortunate, degrading, dumbed-down tagline though). And I would love to see you review the Future Shop exclusive of Drive as it looks amazing! But I imagine its near impossible to get your hands on one now.

[FilmFanPete]

@clutchcityrockets I also love the Futureshop artwork. There's also some steelbooks from France that look gorgeous!

[RazMansReality]

I am dying to pick up the TNG blu ray sampler! As a fellow film buff I gotta say you really know your stuff! I just recently subbed & today I've spent the last half hour catching up on your videos! Truly awesome channel!

[FilmFanPete]

@RazMansReality Hey thanks so much! Always glad to hear from new subscribers, and so glad you're enjoying the content! :)

[RazMansReality]

@FilmFanPete You're very welcome :) Feel free to check out my stuff as well if you want. I too always appreciate the feedback.

[HulkMatthew]

I love "The Thing (2011)". It was awesome especially when the 2 heads join. The best thing about it is making you believe the thing is a person and then the people you would have never guessed by the way they were acting it was them.

[FilmFanPete]

@HulkMatthew Glad to hear from another fan of the prequel! I really enjoyed it too, and yeah, there were many great "thing" surprises! :)

[nickstir42]

hey pete do u know when the blu ray will come out for Tower heist beause i really wanted to pick it up

[bball3144]

@nickstir42 Tower Heist comes out February 21st 2012

[FilmFanPete]

@nickstir42 bball hooked you up! :)

[CoreyReviews]

I know you probably get asked this all the time, but how do you get these movies early and do you still have to pay for them? I wish I could get some of these movies early. I usually have to wait quite some time to get most of my movies.

[FilmFanPete]

@CoreyReviews The channel functions just as any other Blu Ray review site, so I get titles from the studios to review. Nope, don't have to pay for them, just have to review/unbox/showcase them. Glad you like the content my friend!

[MrBeJeCa95]

Great video! Going to pick up Drive for sure. I saw it 3 times in theaters and could watch it over and over again. Ive never seen Cold Mountain, probably wont pick it up. But I will need to check it out in the future.

[FilmFanPete]

@MrBeJeCa95 Thanks man! So glad you love "Drive" as much as I do, has a very high "rewatch" factor I agree. Cold Mountain is a fine film, very well done imo. :)

[MrCemeteryman]

Great video man,I am gonna pick up The Thing and Drive for sure.Probably get Cold Mountain as well since that is my girlfriends favorite movie lol

[FilmFanPete]

@MrCemeteryman Thanks man! Definitely recommend all of those titles! Haha my wife loves "Cold Mountain" too, something about love & war that is just so compelling! :)

[WonderBooks]

Great video!! Malcom X Digibook looks cooI. I love Digibooks but I don't have any yet because they' don't sell it here in Portugal, and buying online is too expensive!! In Time story sounds interesting. I liked Dream House and I love Japanese cinema and anime :) Never heard of The Whistleblower, I'll check it out and Drive too, of course!!!

[FilmFanPete]

@WonderBooks Great to hear from you WonderBooks! So many great titles coming out this week! That's a bummer that Portugal doesn't get digibooks! Have a great week.  :)

[matt11708]

good video pete i did not mean you where a asshole i mean the guy.

[FilmFanPete]

@matt11708 lol, oh I know. No worries! Thanks man! :)

[TylerPreston20]

Awesome video, Pete, very informative and hilarious! I have to agree about Japanese cinema, they really make some great stuff and I'm also huge on anime from there. I mean, they have Godzilla, Dragon Ball Z, Death Note and so on there, just amazing stuff. Drive, I haven't seen, but I'm hoping to win the steelbook from hugzi's contest. =d

[FilmFanPete]

@TylerPreston20 Thanks Tyler!! I'm currently fascinated with Cinema Japan, I guess I'll call it that now, haha. I always loved Kurosawa's work, but I never really explored beyond him, now I'm researching all kinds of good stuff! That "Drive" steelbook looks incredible, hope you win my friend! :)

[HELLSPAWN1973]

dont squeeze your eyes...look normal - looks silly and dumb ;)

[FilmFanPete]

@HELLSPAWN1973 Awesome way to get yourself banned. Have fun with your 23 subscribers while you criticize others. ;)

[matt11708]

@FilmFanPete what un asshole.

[matt11708]

also i liked the big year not a bad movie.

[matt11708]

@HELLSPAWN1973 lol 

[FilmFanPete]

@matt11708 Agreed! lol, some people just amaze me. :)

[MovieManMenzel]

First off, these blu ray release recaps are always awesome. Second, I know that I told you this before, but thanks for being a cool and genuine dude. Its nice seeing real people still exist on here. Thirdly, thanks for the awesome shout out and this video is now on we live film .com for all the world to see. Thanks again and keep up the awesome work!

[FilmFanPete]

@MovieManMenzel You're the best Menzel, thank you so much! Really feels good to hear such kind words! Feel the same way about you man, very genuine and such great content! That's awesome, thanks for putting it on the site my friend! :)

[MegaReveiws]

Awesome video man!!

[FilmFanPete]

@MegaReveiws Thank you!!  :)

[FilmFanPete]

***NOTICE: "The Whistleblower" is actually available NOW in stores, came out on January 24th. Sorry about that folks, got my dates mixed up.***

[irockmysocks1111]

Awesomeo video as usual. Cant wait to own Drive. Definately one of my favourites of 2011. Will also be picking up 50/50. Haven't seen it yet but I know I will love it based off the unanimous praise it has been getting and I love JGL and Seth Rogen.

[FilmFanPete]

@irockmysocks1111 50/50 was a great film! Just watched that a few nights ago, and absolutely impressive. :)

[JokerTheNoNameGamer]

I Might Have To Run Out And Grab Drive.. I Heard There Was Going To be A Bestbuy Steelbook.. Not Too Sure Though..

[FilmFanPete]

@JokerTheNoNameGamer Doesn't look like there will be a BB steelbook unfortunately, that would have been AWESOME! There is a French steelbook available right now though.

[BtownZombies]

its really funny the rare "bird" in the film Big Year with Owen Wilson is looking for was just a top story on yahoo "news"

[FilmFanPete]

@BtownZombies Haven't watched it yet, but that's hilarious!

[BtownZombies]

Drive among my top 5 of the year...felt like a great 80's film which I need more of, but I haven't seen half of the nominated best picture films yet...other note Echo Bridge does does crap transfers i.e. Dead Man....I'm with you on English Patient, I didn't care for it as a teen but now I think its a solid film...also Sayid from Lost is in the film watch noticed when I started watching it years later...lol those Lost actors can't get away from plane crashes.

[FilmFanPete]

@BtownZombies So glad you felt the same about "Drive." Echo Bridge has gotten better at their transfers, though they started out really bad. From what I hear, all releases from now on will be in their original aspect ratios (I know, but it's a start lol). Haha that's right Sayid's in that. :)

[TheLonesomeFoghorn]

nice pick ups and great video as always!

[FilmFanPete]

@TheLonesomeFoghorn Thank you my friend! Should be a great week for Blu's!

[Tj82480]

Cant wait to see drive and the thing i will be picking them up on tuesday

[FilmFanPete]

@Tj82480 Glad to hear it!  :)

[igotcha77]

The oscars are RIGGED!!!!!!!!! Drive should have more then ONE freaking nomination!!!!!!!

[drmb08]

How dare you have Drive one dvd and not on blu :P

lol, well this week is going to rape my wallet ffs. Great video man :D

[FilmFanPete]

@drmb08 LOL, I know right? Now I have to own it twice, haha. Great week for film buffs for sure!

[TKIRB53]

@FilmFanPete are you getting the to kill a mockingbird limited edition? I am I have been waiting for this blu ray since i got a blu ray player lol. resent sub but I have managed to just about watch all your videos in a week haha

[FilmFanPete]

@TKIRB53 Hey that's awesome! Welcome to the channel, glad you subscribed. I will be picking up "Mockingbird" on Tuesday for sure, in the commemorative digibook edition. Love that film. :)

[kzt78]

Beyond pumped for this week! Great video Pete!

[FilmFanPete]

@kzt78 Thank you!! Me too, such a fun week for High Definition! :)

[CinematicGalaxy]

Haven't seen Drive, but I loove that cover art! I'll be picking that and 50/50 (haven't seen that either) up in a few days (very excited!). I also LOVE To Kill a Mockingbird. I first saw that film when I was about 10 (my mom bought the VHS), and it was almost like a coming-of-age experience. Gregory Peck is fantastic in it, as are the kids, and I'm very tough on kid actors, lol. And I completely agree with you about In Time.

[FilmFanPete]

@CinematicGalaxy Thanks for your thoughts man, always enjoy hearing from you! So glad to have a fellow "Mockingbird" fan here, absolutely agree, it's just a classic American film. I've seen it many times and I'm sure I'll watch it twice this coming week just for the fun of it, haha. :)

[bluraymex23]

The 1 dislike must be from someone who hates all the releases for this Tuesday lol

[FilmFanPete]

@bluraymex23 LOL, must be! I can see them at their cpu right now, "I HATE THIS GUY AND I HATE ALL OF THESE MOVIES...AHHHH." That thumbs down must have made their night. It's ok, lol, it doesn't bother me. Watch, by the end of the week I will have at least 9 more. It happens every time. lol. :)

[igotcha77]

@FilmFanPete Don't worry Pete, its just YouTube trolls or really miserable people who hate happiness. Everybody else loves the vids and reviews. Its how us film lovers do it!

[FilmFanPete]

@igotcha77 Thanks man! I really appreciate the support! :)

[maxonfire67]

The director, Daniel Craig, and Rachel Weiz actually completely disowned Dream House. I wouldn't recommend it.

[FilmFanPete]

@maxonfire67 Did they really?!? Wow, I had no idea. Now I really have to see it just to see why it's so awful, lol. :)

[Siimon204]

Cold Mountain is one of the best movies, ever.

[FilmFanPete]

@Siimon204 Glad you liked that one, me too! Great story and a classic-feel to it.

[JWUniverse]

Great update man got to get Drive and Star Trek love Star Trek The Thing was good as well.

[FilmFanPete]

@JWUniverse Thanks JW!! Definitely some awesome titles coming out this week!

[trepacer]

Great update!!! I liked the prequel to the thing - it tied in very nicely to John Carpenter's version.

The special effects were great and I liked the way the story unfolded. Drive was robbed - it is so good - best picture candidate for sure!!!!

[FilmFanPete]

@trepacer Thank you man! Really glad to hear you liked "The Thing" prequel, I'm watching it tonight and going into it with a positive attitude and hoping it's even 1/2 as good as the '82 version, I'll be happy! And yes, haha, "Drive" was absolutely robbed. That snub will go down in history as a HUGE oversight. :)

[TheBSxperience]

my dad has all of those monster movies on dvd like you do too. they are great

[TheBSxperience]

Drive didn't get nominated because the oscar's are a joke.

[FilmFanPete]

@TheBSxperience Well we always have the YouReviewers Awards!! :)

[igotcha77]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!!!!! DRIVE WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!

[FilmFanPete]

@igotcha77 So glad so many people agree. To me it's kind of like a new-age "Pulp Fiction." Just incredibly original and a movie I will not soon forget.

[Sleek71986]

Drive was also my favorite film of last year as well, a travesty it got snubbed at the AA's.

[FilmFanPete]

@Sleek71986 Totally! I have no idea how a film like "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" could get nominated OVER "Drive." Heck I would have substituted about 4 of the nominees for that film. :)

[Tiagolamonica]

Drive is awesome movie. And this edition for Transformers is amazing. Great video!

[FilmFanPete]

@Tiagolamonica Thank you!! Agreed, love "Drive"! :)

[SiilentMiike]

I hate Transformers, but you're so convincing that I suddenly want to own that limited edition box set ;P

[FilmFanPete]

@SiilentMiike LOL, ohhh Miike. I'm just a born salesman. ;)

[Radiohead17321]

the CGI in the thing "prequel" was TERRIBLE it took me right out of the picture

[Radiohead17321]

The English Patient won over Fargo

[FilmFanPete]

@Radiohead17321 THAT was the one I was thinking of!! Haha, thanks for reminding me. Yeah that to me just wasn't right, though I thought "The English Patient" was a beautiful film, "Fargo" is a masterpiece. :)

[LateNightZombie]

How do you get movies before they are released ??

[FilmFanPete]

@LateNightZombie Studios send them to me to review on my channel. :)

[travis112096]

i enjoyed in time and the big year



[FilmFanPete]

@travis112096 Awesome! I'll have to watch "The Big Year" soon. :)

[InsaneBurger]

The Thing prequel was actually really good and they do use CGI but there are some practical effects as well. It's a very entertaining movie with genuine scares, good performances, and some really cool gory transformations.

[FilmFanPete]

@InsaneBurger Glad to hear that!! I really hope I like it, the '82 original is such an amazing Horror/ Sci-Fi movie, and I'm totally going into the prequel with a positive attitude. I thought the trailers looked great! :)

[wrigterr737373]

Getting "Drive" for sure! Maybe "In Time" as well Thanks for the update, really enjoyed it.

[FilmFanPete]

@wrigterr737373 Thanks so much man! "In Time" may grow on me, I felt that it just started off SO good, but just didn't live up to it's great premise. "Drive" is amazing!! :)

[TomVeliotis]

Drive is a definite pick up for me. Great video man! You said that Malcolm X comes out on Tuesday but I saw it at my local Best Buy yesterday lol. Guess they messed up and put it out early.

[FilmFanPete]

@TomVeliotis Thanks Tom!! So glad you liked "Drive" as much as I did, I've watched it twice since I got it, just can't get enough. That's funny about "Malcolm X", I think they can get in some trouble for that lol. :)

[travis112096]

hey pete you forgot the big year which stars steve martin jack black and owen wilson which also comes on tuesday

[rame313]

@travis112096 10:40

[FilmFanPete]

@travis112096 It's in there, I mention it at the same time I mentioned "In Time." Rame313 helped you out with the time stamp below. :)

[HFDWHALERS97]

Great video!

[FilmFanPete]

@HFDWHALERS97 Thanks!!

[elkornu8]

screw getting tranformers on 3d i hate when they double dip like that.No extras when it first came out cause they want u to spend more money for the 3d release screw that

[FilmFanPete]

@elkornu8 While I hear what you're saying, double-dipping on releases has been going on since the VHS days, it's just always going to happen, like it or not. I feel like at least they included the 10.00 off coupon in the first release for this one, as they wanted to make it really special and take their time with the loads of special features. :)

[elkornu8]

@FilmFanPete yes i know they been double dipping on movies forever now but its way too soon in my opinion to have a second release of a movie that wasnt even that good

[snazzyboi35]

I'm so excited to watch drive, I'm so getting it on blu-ray Tuesday. great video man!

[FilmFanPete]

@snazzyboi35 Thank you! Ohhh "Drive" is so good! I bet you'll love it. :)

[genekelly101]

Jan 31st is a droolfest for releases. But I won't be getting Drive until Mid February. BOOYA! Sweet video.

[FilmFanPete]

@genekelly101 Absolutely, I actually had to cut out several "smaller" titles from this video because I just thought it was long enough already lol. There's a few titles coming from Image Entertainment (like "Adaptation") as well. Thanks my friend! :)

[genekelly101]

@FilmFanPete - no worries dude, its your video. Do as you wish!!. I kinda stopped doing weekly releases, Im doing just the kick ass editions releases or a movie that is popular. lol

talk soon man.

[TheEhzer]

Sweet :D

[FilmFanPete]

@TheEhzer :)
