Thinking of getting the Burn After Reading Blu-Ray…
Here’s a few reviews. http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/1904/burnafterreading.html http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article/blu-ray-review-burn-after-reading http://www.monstersandcritics.com/dvd/reviews/article_1449636.php I’ll save you sometime though. The move looks and sounds good on Blu-Ray but it isn’t really necessary for this type of film. The extras aren’t too exciting either. If that wasn’t enough to dissuade you from buying it, why not buy it now! //

Big Lebowski 10 Anniversary DVD
They released a new DVD of “The Big Lebowski” to commemorate the 10th Anniversary. Reviews of the new DVD aren’t great citing slightly improved picture and audio quality, but no significant new features. If you don’t have it already, worth a buy. Otherwise, stay away. //
