May is a really disappointing month for Blus!

[Veronica Mars]

I've wait for announcements to come that would change my mind, but after a pretty good start of the year, May is terrible imo. I'm getting 7 blus just in the last 2 weeks of April and catalogs like Armageddon (fun, popcorn blockbuster), Tombstone (one of the best films ever even if the release is a bit mediocre), and Minority Report. That's just 3 of the 7 , but pretty darned good for 2 weeks.

But May, this looks like it:
Leap Year (and I'm only getting this because I'm in love with Amy Adams)
Saving Pvt. Ryan (the best release of the month for me)
The Notebook (which really only replaces the version with the junk)
and
The Messenger

Everybody has different tastes, but all-in-all my tastes are pretty much in line with a lot of buyers and this is one lame month. With so many titles out there that need to be on blu, I can't understand how we even get months like this. There was that presser about Moulin Rouge and the Alien set in the 3rd and 4th quarter and I thinking, "what about May and June?"

Where are the catalogs?

Same.

[cinemaphile]

I for one could USE a slow month! My wallet needs the break!

[kdo]

I wanted to purchase "The Karate Kid" films...but it's just not happening without PART III included...

Also, "Escape From L.A." gets a release before "Escape From New York"... I know each picture is owned by a different studio...but c'mon...this is just wrong!

[Lepidopterous]

For me:
Saving Private Ryan
Nine
The Notebook
The Road
True Blood: Season 2

Agreed it's a slow month but these releases will keep me quite busy. SPR will be the new jewel in my collection (if they do it justice)

[Chaotic]

Only one im definitely getting is The Road

[SleeperAgent]

Getting for sure:
True Blood Season 2
Saving PRivate Ryan

If the price is right:
Daybreakers
Dragoball Kai
k-19 The Widowmaker

Agreed! March and especially April were huge for me. Gonna have to get Saving Private Ryan and Karate Kid parts I and II for sure. Maybe Carlito's Way too, but will be a total blind buy cause i don't even know much about it. Then War of the Worlds and Shutter Island for sure early June.

[recS-12]

I also could use a slow month, wallet needs a breather.

[gregmasciola]

I haven't been buying as rapidly as I did for awhile, but in May I can't wait to get my hands on The Edge with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. I'm not expecting one of the greatest transfers ever, but I'm sure it will blow away my non-anamorphic DVD.

[QuasidodoJr]

It certainly comes down to taste... May is a packed month for me.

Doctor Zhivago
The Edge
Hang 'Em High
Invictus
The Karate Kid
M.
The Magnificent Seven Collection
The Man in the Iron Mask
Marked for Death
The Messenger
The Road
Saving Private Ryan
Stagecoach
Walkabout

And last, but certainly not least...

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus!

I'm only getting The Notebook and True Blood Season 2. I could also use a slow month. Also because June is gonna kill me

[DMC86X]

Just The Road and Private Ryan for me.

June is better, but it's not great...imo. I'm still hoping that we might get something more. Something big...at least one more big catalog for that month would be nice.

I can see how people would want to rest their wallets...and it's not that I don't feel the same. But I'd rather have a few blus that I can't get right away, just as long as more catalogs are released. I mean, again, we all have different tastes, but I'm pretty sure the majority of people here would love many of the dvds I still have which I'm praying get a blu release relatively soon (or just soon). There's way too many in my opinion. Big names...guaranteed sellers...and then even the smaller or niche films I own.

I can't wait to see them in HD and it really seems like the studios are intentionally going very slowly. To the point that an expensive month is usually driven only be the number of NEW releases I want to purchase and not on too many catalog releases.

[hardtosayx]

Oh and possibly Dear John in May.

I think all of the movies out in June are pretty much blind buys, only one is definite. The rest I'll think about, all depending on price. But there's also two or three CD's coming out that I'm getting.

Most of the catalog movies out in May I've never seen. Actually a lot of the catalog movies in general I haven't seen.

Please save your money. As much as I'd love to add anything Amanda to my collection, this movie is not worth your money...at least until it's around $10 and, even then, if you don't mind not feeling like watching very often.

Leap Year is an ok movie at best but compared to this film, it's The Godfather.

Rent it and get something better with your money. Just trying to help.

Saving Private Ryan is enough for me to say it is NOT a disappointing month.

[Blaumann]

For me, True Blood S02 and Private Ryan will be the only highlights in may. Not much else i'm excited about. But some of the releases i want to see on Blu eventually like M, The Road or The Magnificent Seven.
