masoud90 · 01-06-2009, 05:53 PM

AUSTRALIA starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman will be released on blu-ray and dvd on Tuesday, February 24th.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE will also be released on blu-ray on the same day - right before the oscars =)

Wow Slumdog so soon!

Now I am excited!

masoud90 · 01-06-2009, 05:56 PM

Yep, I am so excited =)

Romulus · 01-06-2009, 05:57 PM

Holy crap seriously!? Slumdog Millionaire THAT early!? CAN'T WAIT!

Crim122 · 01-06-2009, 05:57 PM

It was such a good movie, and I enjoyed it more than my favorite of last year...and the release date will be right after I get my HTS so I will be rocking out to the score!

masoud90 · 01-06-2009, 06:00 PM

Yeah lol same here. Well SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, was released in theatres in late October around the country but got wide release in December...so I guess it was time? lol. I am sure they are doing it for the Oscars.

I have trouble believing Slumdog Millionaire will be out that soon. It still hasn't been released wide yet, and I would expect that there would be a post-Oscars jump in business, especially if it could pull out a Best Picture win. I would have guessed this would be an April/May release.

Keiths Light · 01-06-2009, 06:01 PM

they want it out around oscar time to take advantage of the hype it will receive. smart move.

I think they're anticipating it winning Best Picture.

I think it could, along with best director.

Romulus · 01-06-2009, 06:05 PM

What is the source for this?

Jeremy1983 · 01-06-2009, 06:08 PM

Great news!

Slumdog Millionaire is an excellent film! One of the best this year.

Australia, however, is a terrible waste of 3 hours IMO.

When I first saw this film I thought it was very good but it wasn't quite good enough for me to purchase. After digesting it for a few weeks I think it was amazing and deserves every bit of praise its getting.

Day 1 purchase when it hits the states.

I got a early screening and wanted to see it again after it was over LOL

had to wait a whole month for it to get here though

CobraTi · 01-06-2009, 06:15 PM

Excellent news for Slumdog. . .cannot wait for the release. It will join just 2 other blu-rays I've bought at normal store prices.

masoud90 · 01-06-2009, 06:15 PM

The first act just reminded me too much of City if God. I think the movie shined once the first act ended and the brothers were a wee bit older. It got even better when they were teens/young adults in the third act.

And I feel that the movie was original enough for my comment to be misleading...I just couldn't shake that feeling from the first act.

But when I left the theater I said it reminded me of a Indian City of God with a love story.

OMG! City Of God is what I thought of when I first saw it too! like all the visuals and camera work reminded me so much of City of God, but I had to realize the story was nothing like COG.

I wish City of God was on blu

masoud90 · 01-06-2009, 06:19 PM

Yeah City of God was a really good movie and you are totally right =)
