The Amazing Spider-Man
It doesn't actually hit DVD and Blu-ray until Friday, November 9, but this week will see The Amazing Spider-Man find its way to shelves for you to own, but are you buying? I have been quite open with my feelings on this film, which I didn't think was very good, but I know there are fans out there that enjoyed it, but did you like it enough to shell out $15-20?
Rashomon (Criterion Collection)
An excellent film from Akira Kurosawa and while I have yet to watch this new Blu-ray transfer I can only assume it is up to Criterion's typical lofty standards and I absolutely love that cover art, not that packaging is a reason to spend $25, but it sure does look good.
Sunset Boulevard
I wrote about Sunset Blvd. recently and mentioned this new Blu-ray transfer, which looks great, just don't go expecting any new special features outside of a rather non-consequential deleted scene.
Arthur Christmas
It has been almost a year since Arthur Christmas hit theaters and it was wrongly ignored when it was first released, but I hope people will find it now that it's on home video. It isn't a great film, but as a satisfying holiday watch it certainly satisfies.

Spidey fan, will buy any Spidey movie even if ASM (really love Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield as actors) wasn't the best of the franchise. Already pre-ordered the Blu-ray last month. Will pick it up Friday.
Excited to finally check out Arthur Christmas around the holidays. Was kind of bummed when I was looking for it on Netflix last winter, but makes sense they waited until now to release it.
I actually enjoyed the new Spider-Man movie. The story definitely had problems, but I thought Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were great, the relationships were much better handled than in the Raimi trilogy, and the action sequences were pretty cool. I am a sucker for the web-slinging scenes in Spider-Man movies though, but the ones in the remake were much better. I dont think I would buy it, but I could watch it again without complaint.
I missed Arthur Christmas last year and still regret doing so. I'll definitely give it a watch soon, but probably after Thanksgiving. Once the Christmas season kicks into gear, then I'll be in the mood to watch it.
At last, 'Arthur Christmas'. It caught me off guard last year, one of the best animations last year.
I kind of liked 'Spider-man', but it had a million problems. The second one should be good though.
I liked The Amazing Spider-Man, but I don't think I liked it enough to want to own it. I saw it twice in theaters and that was enough. The only superhero movie I'd buy from this year is The Dark Knight RIses.
I think the 3 super-hero movies of 2012 are all worth owning. TDKR, Avengers, and Amazing Spiderman.
I'll def by buying Amazing Spiderman. Extras look pretty solid compared to other superhero releases and I didn't mind the film. I heard the bluray is a pretty solid release as well video/audio-wise, so I'm down.
