My Favorite Blu-rays of 2012
The Avengers
This fun flick translates very well to home theater. Super picture and sound plus, plenty of extras. An excellent release.
The Muppets
Missed it in theaters because I did not think if could re-capture the old magic. I was wrong. A true love letter to The Muppets and the fans.
The Cabin In The Woods
A movie that rewards multiple viewings. great picture and sound, nice extras.
John Carter 3D
An interesting tale that does justice to the source material. Excellent video and surround, lots of extras.
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol
A breathless action movie with a razor sharp transfer.
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter 3D
Another book adaptation that stuck close to the source novel. A guilty pleasure, extremely well done. The few extras are interesting.
Prometheus 3D Collectors Edition
With a few large lapses in logic, this mostly intelligent sci-fi epic gets better with multiple viewings. This edition has a 3.5 hour, slickly produced, documentary plus the usual assortment of extras. If the movie had been better, this would be the Blu-ray of the year.
Looper
Great movie, accurate transfer, immersive sound and cool extras. Worthy all the way around.
Ted
My favorite comedy of the year gets a very solid Blu-ray release.
A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas 3D
Better than the second one with great 3D effects. Extras are a little light.
21 Jump Street
The surprise comedy of the year, who knew it would be this funny?

It will never be the prettiest picture due to it's low budget nature, but it sure looks better than ever. Plus, a digital copy to take the laughs anywhere!
