Paramount Home Video have announced that the first three Indiana Jones movies — 1981’s Raiders Of The Lost Ark (since renamed Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark), 1984’s Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and 1989’s Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade — will be released on individual Blu-rays on December 17.
Previously, the movies had only been available on Blu-ray as part of the boxed set Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures.
You’d think that the release of a Monty Python’s The Meaning Of Life Blu-ray ($14.19) would be reason enough to celebrate, especially since this is the film’s first appearance on a high-definition format. Though it was the last movie that the British comedy troupe ever made, it still has some of the funniest bits they ever committed to film. Which makes it all the more painful that Universal Home Video didn’t do a better job with it.
Fox Home Video have announced that Family Guy: Volume 12 will be released on DVD on December 17.
Fox Home Video have announced that Futurama: Volume 8 will be released December 10 on DVD and Blu-ray, with an all-encompassing DVD boxed set called Futurama: The Complete Series released the same day.
Fox Home Video have announced that The Simpsons: The Sixteenth Season will be released December 3 on DVD, Blu-ray, and in a limited edition version of the DVD that comes in a package shaped like Professor Frink’s head.
For years, Adult Swim’s stop-motion sketch comedy show Robot Chicken has skewered everything from toys, video games, and other cartoons to movies, TV shows, and celebrities. But the reason it works so well is because it’s made by people who are big fans of the things they’re skewering. Which is good for fans of this show since it means their DVDs and Blu-rays are put together by people who know what fans of Robot Chicken would want on their DVDs and Blu-rays.
Scream Factory have announced that Saturn 3 — the 1980 sci-fi movie that starred Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, and Harvey Keitel — will be released in a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack on December 3.
