Watch out, incoming! BestFlick.com brings you notable DVD and Blu-ray releases to watch out for this October 2009. Here we go!

DVD Releases

Transformers

It’s a “more-than-meets-the-eye” October, as no less than 3 DVD releases come out for the famed Hasbro franchise. Firstly, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is coming out in a special 2-DVD set. There’s also a Transformers 2-movie set (which obviously includes the part 1 of the series), and they’re both coming out in Oct. 20. Lastly, there’s a Transformers 25th Anniversary DVD called “The Matrix of Leadership” edition which contains the complete animated series, also coming out on the same date. This just oozes with geekiness, but we love the franchise, so yeah we’re definitely getting these DVDs.

Year One

If you love Jack Black then we’re sure you’re gonna love this one. Year One: The Unrated edition came out October 6th, and is already available for you to purchase.

Drag Me To Hell

This DVD freak (yours truly) did not like this movie much, but I’m sure some of you are prepping up for the scary DVD marathons you’re gonna have this Halloween. Drag Me To Hell: The Unrated Director’s Cut came out this week, go and get it. I’ll stick to my cartoons this Halloween, thank you very much. And yeah, who are you calling a scaredy cat?

Blu-ray Releases

Natural Born Killers

Finally, this Oliver Stone classic (and written by a young but already excellent Quentin Tarantino) makes its way to high-def goodness. Experience again, the movie that started Woody Harrelson’s rise to stardom — proof that with pure acting talent, you can make it in Hollywood. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s still fugly in my book, but hey, that’s just me.  Natural Born Killers debuted in Blu-ray this week. Be sure to get it.

Horton Hears a Who

All you Dr. Seuss lovers out there (read: kids who never grew up), time for you to go and get Horton Hears a Who, as it came out in Blu-Ray last October 6th. No scary crap for me this Halloween. This is what I’m talkin’ ’bout, yo.

The Proposal

Sandra Bullock looked particularly old in this movie, especially when you notice that she’s partnered with a star on the rise — Ryan Reynolds. But no matter, they pull it off, Bullock helped by her experience and Reynolds by his innate knack for comedy. The Proposal is a good chick flick for your chick flick collection, especially in Blu-ray. And no, I DO NOT have a chick flick collection. (I maintain that they’re called “date movies”.)

Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead

Here’s another scream-a-thon for your Halloween purposes (no, Sean John will NOT be watching this one as well) — Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead Unrated version. I bet this just comes alive in high definition, Blu-ray is really good (or bad, depending) for scary and suspense movies like this one. You might like the way they seem so real, yeah, but I’ll leave you to your opinions. In any case, this comes out on October 20th.

So that’s that for October DVD and Blu-ray releases. Remember that even if you live the fast-paced live that we all have these days, it doesn’t give you an excuse not to stop and relax. What better than to enjoy these DVD releases on the go, using a USB DVD drive for you netbook or laptop. As for Blu-ray, well yeah, you need the full setup to fully enjoy these Blu-ray discs. But an external Blu-Ray drive would still do the job, provided that your laptop can hack the specs.

All things said, there is just NO excuse for you not to enjoy these movies, take it from us here at BestFlick.
