It's a pretty slow week for new movies on DVD, but if you need to catch up on some TV shows, well then you just might be in luck. Debuting on DVD this week is the Kevin MacDonald thriller State of Play starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams, along with Disney's repackaging of the Planet Earth nature series as a feature length documentary called simply Earth, plus the indie baseball drama Sugar and the Sundance hit Sin Nombre. Also in stores are the latest seasons of Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Supernatural, and Rescue Me, plus some fist-pumping epic action with both Braveheart and Gladiator on Blu-ray. See anything worth checking out? State of Play [1] (DVD, Blu-ray [2]) Earth [3] (DVD, Blu-ray [4]) Sugar [5] (DVD, Blu-ray [6]) Sin Nombre [7] Bring It On: Fight to the Finish [8] Good Dick [9] Meteor [10] G.I.

Escaflowne: The Movie coming to the Us on Blu-ray Disc

7 July 2009 12:37 AM, PDT | Affenheimtheater | See recent Affenheimtheater news »

Over a year after the Japanese release of Escaflowne: The Movie on Blu-ray Disc, Bandai Entertainment has announced to bring Kazuki Akane’s theatrical adaptation to the USA in high definition as well. Rumors of the upcoming release have been circulation during the Anime Expo but now it has been confirmed on Mania.com (formerly Anime on DVD).

Escaflowne is supposed to be released on September 15th and will (unlike the Japanese Blu-ray Disc release) include English subtitles and the English dub in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (Yoko Kanno fans rejoice!). It’s still unknown if this release will be coming directly by Bandai Entertainment (like Sword of the Strager) or their elite sublabel Honneamise (Akira).

While it’s always nice to see more subtitled Blu-ray Disc releases coming to the Us I would have preferred Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door instead of the mediocre adaptation of the Vision of Escaflowne TV series, »
