Blu-ray releases on October 28th 2008

This could be the weirdest week of releases we've seen to date, because there are like 20 titles released (15 mentioned below) but not one that we are really interested in. If you can't wait for Christmas movies, then Warner has Elf and the Essential Holiday Collection which also includes Elf and other Warner movies like our favorites -- which were previously released -- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story. We really had a hard time deciding which title was the best this week, and ultimately just picked Hell Ride for no good reason. We also considered Zombie Strippers or Tinker Bell, but didn't want the stigma. If you're a 3D fan then this is an exceptionally good week for you, as we can't ever remember another week with not one, but two movies were released in 3D (Polar Express and Journey to the Center of the Earth). If there's nothing for you this week maybe next week will have something, but it might depend on how much you like Planet of the Apes' movies.
