I love the Blu-ray format. I think the crispness in audio/visual quality is a substantial upgrade from regular DVD. As a result, I've become the snobby guy who thumbs his nose at regular releases and go straight for the Blu-ray titles. I'm hooked on the higher quality, and I can't stop myself.

That said, not every film warrants a Hi-Def upgrade. I own at least three different DVDs of "Clerks", one of my favorite comedies (damn you, Kevin Smith and your wicked marketing schemes!) However, unless he throws in a free walk-on role and the final chapter to that unfinished Daredevil comic book miniseries, I'll never buy a Blu-ray of "Clerks." What would be the point? All Hi-Def will do is further expose the technical flaws of one of indie film's biggest hits (something Smith himself told me during a visit to RT awhile back when I asked him about Blu-ray).

But you know what movie was just crying out for a Blu-ray release? "Sin City." This is a feast for the eyes and ears in theaters, and it has finally arrived on Blu, and it is a spectacular piece of work. The 2-disc set features 2 cuts of the film, the theatrical version and an extended one, along with 8 hours of bonus content! Not just behind-the-scenes featurettes, but an interactive game and a green screen tutorial from Robert Rodriguez. This is how you make your high-definition debut.
