Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Universal, Classics, Family, Science Fiction, Home Entertainment,
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will be released in a digitally remastered edition to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
The Blu-ray of the Oscar winning movie - directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Drew Barrymore - will feature never before seen footage from the set of the movie along with an all-new interview with Spielberg. Other highlights will include two deleted scenes, a reunion with the cast and filmmaker, a featurette on the evolution and creation of the movie and a discussion with composer John Williams on the music of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
"When E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial premiered in 1982, it captured the imaginations of people young, old and everyone in between in a way that was unparalleled in modern movie history. A global cultural phenomenon-and the biggest box-office blockbuster of its day-E.T. brought out the child in all of us. We are thrilled audiences will now be able to experience the film in the astounding quality of Blu-ray," said Craigh Kornblau, President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Universal have confirmed the 1982 original rather than the 2002 update - which featured a number of controversial changes - will be remastered for the 30th anniversary. The Blu-ray release date is set for October.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition Blu-ray review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Disney, Animation, Classics, Family, DVD Reviews,
Not many people realize this, but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is Disney‘s very first full-length animated motion picture. Some would say it is the most prized possession inside the Disney Vault, since one could argue that this movie not only pushed the still-young Disney studio well on its way to being the global powerhouse that it is today, but it also expanded and legitimized the art of animation. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first movie to be released as part of the Disney Platinum Series, which has been around for a while now. However, when it came time to get the Blu-ray treatment, Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio were both released before Snow White, as Disney wanted to get this one just right. The result? The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition Blu-ray set.
Is it worthy of the title? Journey with us as we dig deep into the Snow White Diamond Edition and find out.
