The movie often called "Top Gun on Wheels" scored middling reviews with critics and doesn't hold up especially well, but will make a decent addition to your growing Blu-ray collection if you love racing, like over-the-top sports movies, and have ever considered naming a pet "Cole Trickle." The 1990 NASCAR flick starred a young, post-Maverick Tom Cruise (who also shared story credit) and boasted memorable supporting turns by Robert Duvall, Michael Rooker, and Dennis Quaid (not so much for the then-23-year-old Nicole Kidman, who played Cruise's leggy brain surgeon love interest). Unfortunately, Days of Thunder on Blu-ray lacks considerable bonus features, so the only reason to buy it (other than your ceaseless love of early '90s action flicks and/or obsession with celebrity Scientologists) would be to crank up the volume and listen to its AWESOME soundtrack in glorious, lossless High Def audio.
Next: Do you dare climb aboard the Event Horizon on Blu-ray?

ARTaylor writes: on Dec 29 2008 05:53 PM Anything really worth buying would have been released before Christmas. Lets face it, most people don't have any money left. Anyone who got money for Christmas will probably save it or get those things they put on their Christmas list and didn't get. This will probably be a pretty dead week for DVDs even if they had some decent stuff coming out. Which is probably why they don't have anything decent coming out. Save it for another week where people might actually spend money. (Reply to this) |

Saget was in "Full House" and AFHV", which are both popular, but horrible shows. This week should be filed as "ABSOLUTE SUCK!" (Reply to this) |
