Top 5 Blu-Ray DVDs to Buy

Here is a current list of top Blu-Ray DVDs to Buy.

1. Transformers:
Nothing speaks more Hi-Def then Michael Bay’s robot warriors going at it. Not only does the CGI and visuals come out crisp and clean, the Blu-Ray comes with a 2nd DVD that is packed with great behind the scenes footage and segments.

2. Beowulf:
Angela Jolie. Naked. In CGI. That enough has made the Robert Zemeckis’ CGI re-telling of the myth a big seller on the Blu-Ray listings. But looking besides that point, the movie, like most CGI films, look great on Blu-Ray and Robert Zemeckis happens to be an actually great storyteller (um, Forest Gump anyone? The movie that got him the Oscar for best director?). So buy this great movie, pop it in, and be dazzled by the details Blu-Ray captures. Or, and yes, it comes in an ‘unrated’ version only….whatever that means.

3. Black Hawk Down:
Ridley Scott’s adaption of the book based on the failed mission in Somali, to capture the Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. This also depicts the Battle of Mogadishu, the raid integral to the United States’ effort to capture Aidid. Starring an all-star cast including Josh Hartnett, Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor and Tom Sizemore, the movie is a symphony for the eyes and ears, as you feel so much part of the action. This Blu-Ray really brings in the visceral environment Ridley wanted for his audience.

4. Sin City:
A great fun, action packed movie for all you Frank Miller fans, but its also a great flix to see on Blu-Ray due to the wonderful real actors/CGI/green-screen effects that director Robert Rodriguez put together, with a little help from his friends Frank and Quentin.

5. Collateral:
Ok, maybe you’re not a Tom Cruise fan, but this instant classic is a great piece of filming from Michael Mann, who directed everything with HD cameras. This allows the picture on the Blu-Ray to be outstanding – crisp, clear and details even in the darkness. Yes, Mann did the same with Miami Vice and Public Enemy, but we liked the storyline in this movie better – sans Tom Cruise of course.

Lady Gaga’s Crazy Get ups

Lady Gaga is known for her off the wall style. Not to mention the fact that she doesn’t wear pants she comes up with stuff that is on the bleeding edge of fashion. Here is a list of some of her craziest outfits

  1. Here she is leaving the Brit Awards in London Last nights. It takes a lot of work to look this much like a wedding cake.
  2. In 2009 she wore this Kermit skin coat on the German TV show Punkt. She wore the coat as a dress but that almost feels like an extraneous detail.
  3. A true pop star
  4. This hat looks like it may get her into a hairy situation.
  5. In the Gaga Burka! The problem with ordinary burkas is they aren’t slutty! For those who wish to be anonymously slutty there is finally hope in the Gaga Burka!
