DVD New Releases – 9/1/2009
Every week I make a list of notable discs being released so I can figure out what I “need” to buy. ;) It’s a really weak week. There are a couple of “recent oldies” being released on Blu-Ray, like Monster and Braveheart, but those don’t appeal to me enough to have a High Def […]
