Blu-ray releases on October 14th 2008

Blu-ray's incredible fourth quarter of new releases continues this week as some of the biggest blockbusters of the summer debut. The biggest title this week is very easily Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, with almost no other day-and-date release coming in second. The other big news this week is all the HD DVD catchup titles from both Warner and Universal, the biggest of which is easily The Ultimate Matrix Collection. But Neo's trio isn't the only title Blu fans have been waiting on for way to long, Warner also has Constantine, while Universal has American Gangster and the classic Casino. 6 out of the 22 titles this week are IMAX movies which we're sure someone can't wait to enjoy at home -- sans nausea. Fox has a couple catalog classics from the 80's with The Jewel of the Nile and Romancing the Stone. Meanwhile, we'll all wait until next Tuesday when MGM will deliver more James Bond flicks in HD than any single human can possibly watch in a week.
