http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=1252

Paramount Home Entertainment has finally unveiled their long-awaited first wave of catalog and recent hit titles that they'll begin releasing May 20th. "We will have a strong slate of titles for Blu-ray release throughout the year, worldwide, and are enthusiastic about expanding the format's offerings for a broad consumer audience while delivering an experience that goes beyond what viewers love about DVD," said Paramount Home Entertainment President Kelley Avery.

Included among this first wave of titles is the Academy Award-winning 'There Will Be Blood,' as well as 'Cloverfield', J.J. Abrams' unusual take on the "creature feature." The first Blu-ray title to be released day-and-date with the DVD release by Paramount will be 'The Spiderwick Chronicles', which will be released June 24th. Below you can find the complete list of Paramount and DreamWorks titles announced for Blu-ray so far:


May 20th:

  • Bee Movie
  • Face/Off
  • Next

    June 3rd:

  • Cloverfield
  • There Will Be Blood

    June 24th:

  • The Spiderwick Chronicles

  • Anyone craving some of those Paramount Blu-Rays? I definitely want There Will Be Blood and Sweeney Todd when it comes out. Out of all the six major(Paramount, Universal, Disney/Buena Vista, Fox, Sony, Warner) and two minor film studios (Lionsgate and Weinstein), all support Blu-Ray except Weinstein, who will probably have their Blu-Ray lineup announced by Q2.

    What are people's thoughts now that the war is officially "officially" over.



    We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

    It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

    How many more times will the war be officially over? I've counted 2 or 3 already... Anyway, nice for Blu-Ray customers, but I still wouldn't bet on this horse.

    I am still waiting for Weinstein. I would love 1408 and Grindhouse in HD.
