The first week of October is here and along with the first cold fronts of the season come one of the first big titles leading up to the holiday season. As if we actually had to tell you -- Disney is breaking a classic out of its "vault" this week with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We don't know about anyone else, but we love to see classics in HD for the first time and although animated features aren't our first choice, any time there is more HD content for our kids to watch over and over again, we're pleased. Other than that nothing really stands out to us, but the sheer number of titles released this week is impressive. So of course we have little doubt that someone will blast us in the comments for not mentioning their favorite release this week. - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Walt Disney)

I am looking fwd to Trick 'r Treat .. and Audition ! Sick movie
At the time of Snow White's release, animation wasn't considered just a kids thing. I guess we're not quite back to that level yet.
What a bunch of crappy blu ray releases. Though I'm all for more and more blu ray, let's get something good out there. How is it that Nacho Libre, the worst movie in history, is on blu ray and Entourage is not?
Hi this is such an interesting post here.But I don't know any news and so have nothing to contribute until the Blu-ray is in hand.
Any news on Mary Poppins Comes Back ?

The National Parks looked absolutely amazing. The doc itself was a little slow, and thus could be boring to some/many, but an excellent candidate for a BD release. Ken Burns has definitely done it again. Now if only PBS would push out Carrier on BD, I'd be content. Contact could be cool too, and it's nice to see classics like Charlie Brown and Snow White coming out as well.

Ok kids whatever HOME ALONE 2 !!! I'm enjoying the fact that so much is coming out on blu-ray, because watching DVD is just painful. Whereas before I wouldn't bother watching an old favorite movie on DVD, now the blu-rays are coming and I can enjoy them in HD.
DVD is just painful now. Tried to watch titanic with my fiancee on DVD last night. The video quality was so terribly poor!!!
Wow. Relax a little bit dude, if you find DVD unbearable to watch, do you remember what VHS was like?
