Now, the Blu-Ray picks:

• 2012 (Single Disc Edition)
• Alice (2009)
• Clash of the Titans (1981)
• Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers
• Gentlemen Broncos
• Kurokami Vol. 1
• The Neverending Story
• Ponyo (Two Disc Edition): Alex: This is the first Miyazaki film to my knowledge to be released stateside on Blu-Ray.
• The Private Lives of Pippa Lee

• Yozakura Quartet: Complete Collection: Anime series about a group of four teenagers protecting their town from supernatural threats.

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Take your pick of the ‘Award Winning’ collections to taste.” Alex says, “So much Miyazaki. If I had to pick just one, I’d go with Totoro, because that’s probably the perfect Miyazaki kid’s film, and I’d say it’s absolutely impossible to go wrong with that movie. Ultimately though, any Miyazaki film this week will work. On the Blu-Ray front, Neverending Story is good, though I’ll be adding 36th Chamber of Shaolin to my Netflix Queue.”
