What Blu-ray Movies Can I Buy or Rent This Month?

You have your fancy new HDTV and your blu-ray player is ready to go. Now you are wondering what new blu-ray movie releases can you look forward to this month, January 2009? I have managed to find 42...and I am not going to discuss all of them here. Nor am I going to be able to tell you whether they are good or not. That part I will leave up to you although I will give you a few links to some great sites for blu-ray movie reviews. I will even include a spot for you to offer up your opinion on the best blu-ray movies on this page.

In short, what you will find on this page is a list of blu ray movie releases for January 2009 and links to further reading information. This page is not intended to be complete nor is it likely to be perfect. (I cannot control the movie studios and I understand that release dates are often subject to change!) However, this page will let you know what movies are supposed to be available to either rent or buy this month.

If you are looking for a list of blu-ray movies designed to showcase your blu-ray player's technology, you might enjoy Top 10 Blu-ray Movies and Discs, a page dedicated to the top ten blu-ray DVDs according to Sound and Vision Magazine with the criteria being top audio and visual movies rather than the best movies ever made.

If you want to learn more about blu-ray players in general, check out What Will The Best Blu-ray Player Do For My Movies.

Finally, I recommend my page The Top 10 Blu-ray Imax Movies for a look at ten of the best Imax documentary movies and Disney Blu-ray Movies for a look at some of the great Disney movie titles that are available on blu-ray.

Enjoy your blu-ray movies!

Spotlight On STARGATE: THE ARK OF TRUTH

Finally, more Stargate for Stargate fans!

I have chosen to spotlight Stargate: The Ark of Truth because my teenage sons have been totally engrossed by Stargate Atlantis. They have just worked their way through Seasons 1 to 4 of the DVDs and, no doubt, will need to see this movie. They may be surprised to discover that Stargate is on blu-ray and it will be a pleasant surprise!

The Ark of Truth is the first movie released after the show ended. Fans (like my sons) will be able to reunite with the characters and enjoy the elements that made the television series so successful plus they will solve a cliffhanger. Amazon says that "it's all about the ride, and despite a few flaws (as was sometimes the case with the series, the script leans a bit too hard on exposition and techno babble), this one is lots of fun."

Spotlight on KING KONG

King Kong [Blu-ray]

Amazon Price: $11.23 (as of 02/18/2012)Buy Now

Who doesn't know the story of King Kong? The scene at the end set on top of the Empire State Building is one of the most famous scenes in movie history and, as Amazon says, "celebrates both the technical and emotional heights that film can reach." It will be interesting to see it in blu-ray format!

Spotlight on IGOR The Movie

Igor [Blu-ray]

Amazon Price: $7.96 (as of 02/18/2012)Buy Now
List Price: $19.99

This movie was released on September 19th, 2008, and received a Parental Guidance rating for thematic elements, scary images, action and mild language. The reviews I read suggested that is not appopriate for young children because of the inappropriate content. A light-hearted, kid-friendly movie.

Spotlight On THE NOTEBOOK

The Notebook (Limited Edition Gift Set) [Blu-ray]

Amazon Price: $17.54 (as of 02/18/2012)Buy Now
List Price: $39.99

An old-fashioned tearjerker? Yes. An "impassioned and great-looking adaptation" of the novel written by Nicholas Sparks has wonderful actors including Ryan Gosling, CRachel McAdams, James Garner and Gena Rowlands who play the same couple in the 1940s and in current times in North Carolina. One poor, one rich; one devoted, one suffering from dementia. Their enduring love is the story here. A true romance.

Spotlight on THE BOURNE TRILOGY

The Bourne Trilogy (The Bourne Identity / The Bourne Supremacy / The Bourne Ultimatum) [Blu-ray]

Amazon Price: $31.92 (as of 02/18/2012)Buy Now
List Price: $119.98

Now this is a set, I am guessing, that will be very popular. I expect there are three men in my home that would love to have this threesome. The Bourne movies are excellent and contain plenty of action, suspense, bad guys plus a love story. The actors include Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, Franka Potente and Chris Cooper.
