Amazon Launches Saving Private Ryan Blu-ray Pre-Orders

11 hours ago | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Online retailer Amazon.com has begun taking pre-orders for Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks and Matt Damon on Blu-ray Disc.

Neither Paramount nor Dreamworks has made mention of this film coming to Blu-ray this year. Typically when films move into active pre-order state, their arrival is imminent within the next few months.

Studios love to release World War II themed films in the weeks leading up to the anniversary of D-Day on June 6 as well as Father's Day which this year falls two weeks later on June 20. That would speculatively put its release in the mid-May time frame.

Will Saving Private Ryan on Blu-ray eb a Sapphire Series release like Forrest Gump? Or will it be a two-disc set like Spielberg's recently announced Minority Report? We'll pass along any further developments on Saving Private Ryan coming to Blu-ray as they happen.

Broken Embraces (US)
Los abrazos rotos
Sony Pictures | 2009 | 127 mins | Rated R |

A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life. This man used two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signed the films he directed. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he can't direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena. In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from Diego, her son, his secretary, typist and guide. Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self-induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco. One night Diego has an accident and Harry takes care of him (his mother, Judit, is out of Madrid and they decide not to tell her anything so as not to alarm her). During the first nights of his convalescence, Diego asks him about the time when he answered to the name of Mateo Blanco, after a moment of astonishment Harry can't refuse and he tells Diego what happened fourteen years before with the idea of entertaining him, just as a father tells his little child a story so that he'll fall asleep. The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of amour fou, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and a guilt complex. A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.

When he kidnaps Agatha (Samantha Morton), one of the precogs, he begins to formulate a theory about a possible frame- up from within his own department.
