Growing up, one of my favorite movies was Superman The Movie. Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me, just as Roger Moore will always be 007. I’ve tried to watch the flick when it came on TV a few times, but I just can’t stand the blurry and crappy picture the movie has compared to films of today.

With the advent of HD and 4K streaming video, you may think that physical disks are obsolete. But frankly, most of the 1080p Blu-ray discs I’ve played on my home theater system look better than even 4K streamed content out there because of the compression streaming services apply to reduce bandwidth usage.

Back to the Future is one of my all-time favorite films. In fact, the whole trilogy is pretty awesome. But it’s the 1985 original that really kicked things off, and it’s celebrating its 30th anniversary now.

In Back to the Future II, Marty and Doc jump forward by 30 years, and the date set on their DeLorean time machine was October 21, 2015. That date is nearly upon us, and to celebrate, a new Back to the Future Blu-ray box set is coming to a store near you.

This is just what I need to hold all of my X-Men films. It is just perfect. All of your Blu-Rays are displayed nicely, with Magneto in the center, holding up the most recent. This awesome display comes from the mind of Dave Delisle of Dave’s Geeky Ideas.

Both of my kids play Minecraft; they think it is the coolest game out there. My son plays it on the Xbox 360 and his iPhone. My daughter has a tablet that she carries with her to play on the go and likes the PS3 version on occasion.

If you decide that you want the complete Breaking Bad series on Blu-ray, check this out. It will arrive in a money barrel – just like the ones Walt hid his money in. Instead of burying it, you can just buy it.

This Doctor Who series Blu-Ray set not only comes with all of the episodes from series 1 through 7, it also comes with a remote control that looks like the sonic screwdriver. Shut up and take my money.

If you were thinking about buying a Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-Ray set, check this out. This could be the Dark Knight Trilogy Blu-ray Ultimate Collector’s Edition box set. And it is awesome. This amazing edition is expected to go on sale sometime in the third quarter of this year.

Star Trek: Into Darkness has just hit theaters with mixed reviews, but even so it is making a lot of money. Now we have some details about some new collectibles from QMx. There are Starfleet badges, the Federation flag, a Starfleet class ring, Federation ship models and a special limited-edition Amazon.com

So you bought a new Mac or Ultrabook in the last couple of years, but you’ve yet to plug anything into its Thunderbolt port. A company called Sonnet shows you what that little hole can do for you.

Season three of The Walking Dead may still be airing, but it is never too soon to get a sneak peek at the case for the limited-edition Blu-ray set. MTV Geek has outed the collectible packaging, and it’s nice and gruesome and features a replica of the Governor’s head-filled aquarium.

I know of many people these days who use their PS3 gaming consoles as their main Blu-ray player, but this new standalone player from Sony looks pretty cool too. Eschewing the curvaceous lines of the PS3, the Sony S5100 Blu-ray Player has a sleek angular design.

Avengers is a massive box office hit, having already grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. People really love superhero flicks – so much so that some people are already thinking ahead to the Blu-Ray release. And for a hit movie like this, you know they are going to have a special collector’s edition.

In my area, one of the only places to rent physical movie discs is at Redbox kiosks, so I’ve been a big fan for a while. I never liked the fact that you couldn’t get some new releases for weeks and weeks after they were available to purchase.

If you recently got your Star Wars Blu-ray box set, you’ll probably recognize these awesome digital paintings by Tony Hsu. You can find them inside the booklet and on the discs themselves. They look quite amazing.
