DVD Pick of the Week: Friday the 13th (2009) - Page 2

Ghostbusters (Blu-ray). Can you believe it has been 25 years since this was on the big screen? I know, it's hard to believe. In any case, to celebrate its anniversary, the movie is here in high definition. I am looking forward to watching Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson take on the Stay Puft Puffed Marshmallow Man in full HD resolution. It is sure to look great.... I hope.

Family Guy: Volume Seven. Here is a show I have had a blast watching over the years, and even own the first handful of DVD releases. But I wonder if my interest is waning. I can watch episodes online at places like HULU, or go back to the early DVDs I already own, I can even watch on TBS. All that said, I am unsure if I want to buy any more. It seems all the best episodes are in the past. Could the series be losing steam?

The Three Stooges Collection, Vol. 6: 1949-1951. The chronological releases of remastered Stooges continue. I only have the first couple, but plan on getting the rest at some point. Unlike Family Guy, I never get tired of the Three Stooges.

Lost: The Complete First Season (Blu-ray) and Lost: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray). This is sure to be a hot ticket, as fans will want to relive the story in as high a resolution as possible. I still believe the first season is the best of the bunch. I bet those Hawaiian sets are going to look fantastic in Blu-ray. I may not be the biggest fan of the show, but they have to be given a lot of credit for the amount of planning that has gone into the show.

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail. I know he has his fans, but I am not all that interested.

Transformers: The Complete First Season (25th Anniversary Edition). I grew up on this show and have the first DVD set released. Hopefully this new set looks better than the original; it may not be high art, but it should be treated with respect, if only for the fans who grew up with it.
