How To Make Blockbuster Blu Rays Look Legitimate In Your Collection

As many of you probably know blockbuster is a dying company. With many of the stores closing they are selling Blu rays at very low prices. But many collectors get turned off by the ugly DVD packaging. But here is a step by step process to convert the blockbuster release into a legitimate looking blu ray.


STEP 1.

Get out the blockbuster movie you have purchased 

STEP 2. 

Get a blank Blu Ray case. You can buy these on Amazon or Ebay for very cheap. Here is a link to where I purchase mine.

STEP 3. 

Remove the original artwork from blockbuster insert. They use a stick plastic substance, just be carefull not to rip the original artwork.

STEP 5.

Insert the artwork and disc into the new Blu-Ray case.

STEP 6.

Make sure the artwork is level and up to your satisfaction. 

There you have it you can go from gross looking rental Blu-ray to a commercial release style Blu-ray, that will look great on the shelf.


Post a comment on the best pick ups you have bought at a Blockbuster or anything else 

WHAT I'VE WATCHED

Community Season 1 (DVD)

I think this is one of the best shows on television right now. This show pays homage to all sorts of styles of shows, genres, and movies. While being funny, clever, and true to the predecessor without ever mocking it. It's so clear how this show has developed a cult following. Though the creator of the show was just recently fired and Chevy Chase has been having a lot of conflict with the producers. It's unfortunate because I feel the show will probably take a turn for the worst with the newest season. At a point where this should be where the shows peaks. Overall I would recommend the purchase of Community Season 1. OVERALL RATING 4 out of 5
Funny People (Blu Ray)

Directed and produced by Judd Apatow. This is the story of Adam Sandler basically playing himself but if he was complete and utter asshole and terminally ill. While Seth Rogen is his assistant and aspiring stand up comedian and the film takes place from there. This got mixed reviews I personally enjoyed it. It's a good story, Adam and Seth I thought had a funny and believable onscreen chemistry, and it does look great on blu ray. Mainly because it was shoot by the same person that shoot shawshank redemption. Though this film is no where near perfect. It seemed it Judd didn't know if he wanted to make comedy with some drama or vice versa. It just never finds that happy medium. Also I feel we some aspects and characters should have more developed Adam's family situation and Seth's roommates. So I'd recommend that's worth a rent or a purchase if you find it for cheap. OVERALL RATING: 3 out 5
Drive (Blu Ray)

Wow this movie was great to say the very least. If you have made the mistake of putting this movie like I have don't. This is a must own and watch for any blu ray collector. First off Ryan Gosling gives one of his best performances to date. His character Driver is so distant and has very few lines but at the same time just enough. His physical acting is just outstanding the only recent thing I can compare it to is Michael Fassbender's role in Hunger. Carey Mulligan is also amazing as the love interest and damsel in distress. Lastly Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks both give equally outstanding acting performances. But Nicolas Refn gives us such a great pulp thriller all the way around. The styling shot of L.A. are so gritty and real not to the glamourous overdone shots we ussually see. Then the score acts as almost as a character in the movie. I was born in the early 90's so I didn't even regonize any of the songs, but they fit the movie so supberbly it's uncanny. If you are a fan of Tarantino's films or any pulp style thrillers then this will not dissapoint. Though in no way should this be directly related to a Tarantino film, the writting and directing ar far from the same. This movie by far was one of my favorites of 2011 and is an essential watch. OVERALL RATING: 4.5 out of 5 


As always is you have seen any of these titles post a comment on your thoughts or reviews. Thanks!

Upcoming Movies Worth Checking Out

•  DJANGO UNCHAINED

My Thoughts : Tarantino is back and is stepping into the western genre. I personally can not wait for this film. Like many others I'm sure Tarantino is one of my all time favorite directors.  He has not missed with me yet, and from the looks of this trailer he still hasn't. Finally we get to see  Leonardo Dicaprio playing a charismatic villain. Its a role I've wanted to se him play for a while. I expect Tarintino to provide a great script, great pacing,an epic yet at the same time real feeling story, and as always he should make sure we get great performances from great actors. By the way it was rumored Will Smith turned down the role of Django, post a comment on who you would have rather seen play the role Jaime or Will?

• THE WATCH 

My Thoughts: We've got Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and England's actor Richard Ayoade all hunting Aliens in leather jackets with tigers on the back, what else can you ask for? I personally think this has the potential to be the comedy of the summer. At first I thought this was just another quick through together comedy with big name actors. But it was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The same guys that brought us Super Bad, Pineapple Express, Goon, and the Green Hornet. So if you like their type of comedy I'd say based of the trailer it's worth seeing. What's your favorite Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have written?

• MOONRISE KINGDOM

My Thoughts: If your a Wes Anderson film fan then it looks like you won't be disappointed with his newest film Moonrise Kingdom. I personally love Wes Anderson's story telling and his usage of colors I believe is like no other directors in hollywood. As always we see the familiar faces like usual Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. But there also some new faces most notably Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, and Harvey Keitel. All great actors/actresses but can Wes bring them to heights? 

• BRAVE 

My Thoughts: Last off we have Brave.We all know Pixar paved the way for CGI animation with all of their classics and is still setting the bar. Although after getting just "okay" reviews with their last film Cars 2, how will they respond with their newest film Brave? I personally don't blame them for Cars 2 out of the films it was the easiest and probably most profitable sequel available. For the children audience it achieved its goal. Though the older generation grew to expect just a bit more from pixar. I feel this one though has a ton of potential and will probably pass Madagascar 3 for animated film of the year. For opening in just a little over a week though there hasn't been much advertisement for this one. So let me know do you think Pixar will deliver with Brave?
