Posted May 1, 2007 by Josh

Paramount Home Entertainment has announced that they will be bringing two more goodies to Blu-ray this summer. For June 26th, Black Snake Moan stars Samuel L. Jackson as a god-fearing bluesman who cares for an over-sexed young woman played by Christina Ricci. The second is the classic John Woo directed action film Face/Off, starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, which is scheduled to street August 28th. No specs have been officially announced for either title, but it is expected that both with feature 1080p MPEG-2 video encodes with Dolby Digital soundtracks.

Black Snake Moan: When ex-blues musician Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) finds the town nymphomaniac Rae (Christina Ricci) left for dead on the side of the road, he vows to nurse her back to health…and cure her of her wickedness. Until then, she'll be chained to the immovable radiator in his home. But Lazarus has demons of his own: his wife just left him for his own brother. While Lazarus and Rae struggle to fix their broken lives, the situation threatens to explode as Rae's boyfriend Ronnie (Justin Timberlake) — a roughneck soldier just back from Iraq — comes searching for his missing lover.

Face/Off: FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) knows how to stop elusive terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage). He'll become him. Archer undergoes a futuristic surgery and has Troy's face mapped onto his, then infiltrates the terrorist's world to discover his deadly secrets. But as much as Archer looks and acts like Troy, he doesn't really know him. He never figures Troy will retaliate and force doctors to transform him into Archer. Now the agent faces a shattering nightmare: his archrival is living with his family. The Travolta/Cage star-power comes on strong and so does the excitement in this roaring thrill machine of a movie directed by John Woo (Broken Arrow). So buckle up. It's going to be a furious fight.

Can't wait to see these on Blu-ray!

And yet another huge disappointment coming from Paramount. No doubt these are two very good titles that most of us will want to see on Blu-ray. But no lossless audio track....you've got to be kidding me.

Especially when she's all tied up like that

But seriously, have you seen it? Is it any good? I only saw the trailer, and by the look of it, it's is either really good or sucks big time, can't imagine it to be anything in between.

Face Off is extreme action and the catch phrases are priceless. I wonder if Cage really could eat a peach for hours.
