Hey Disc Head! New to Blu Ray and DVD: March 19, 2010

March 19, 2010 Posted in Entertainment, Movies

Don’t give up your favorite seat on the couch just because the weather is getting nicer. There are a few worthwhile movies coming out this week on Blu Ray and DVD, especially for fans of the supernatural and martial arts. Looking for a manly movie that will impress your friends and get your martial arts skills up to par? Check out the COED pick of the week, Ninja Assassin.

The Fourth Kind

There has been an unusually high amount of mysterious abductions over the past 40 years in a remote region of Alaska. Dr Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) sets out to investigate, only to uncover evidence of Alien involvement. The fourth kind is the next step on from contact with aliens (ie. Encounters of the Third Kind). Makes you wonder what encounters of the fifth kind are…maybe some hot, steamy Alien Lovin‘?

Ninja Assassin

A young boy, Raizo, is taken from the streets and trained to be a top assassin by the evil Ozunu clan. He escapes and goes on a revenge mission, helped by a Europol agent, to kill his trainer and former master. Packed full of ninja stars, swords, Kung Fu experts, guns, and all out action… basically it’s awesome.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Robert Pattinson returns as a moody vampire, in the second installment of The Twilight Saga, in an effort to single-handedly destroy the horror genre. This time there’s more than just the vampires to worry about — there’s also a variety of supernatural creatures showing up. While I’m sure every 13-year old girl out there is wetting her pants in anticipation for this release, I’m going to pass.

Armored

A group of armored transport officers decide to plan a heist against their own company. Everything is planned to perfection until a witness interferes and everything starts to go wrong for the crew. This action-packed thriller has tons of well-known faces that include Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno, and legendary “Graboid” hunter Fred Ward.

Did You Hear About The Morgans?

Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant team up in this rom-com drivel as a near perfect couple who have to run for their lives when a contract killer comes after them. Hilarious antics ensue and we’re sure there’s an awkward sex scene in there somewhere. Without a doubt, this is our number one pick to avoid this week.
