Are you waiting for a grand blu ray movie to watch? Do you want to make a date with your partner to watch a hd blu ray movie in the theater to enjoy a romantic night? All things that we need to do is just believe nothing is impossible for us. Just do it.
As the summer’s first franchise reboot, “X-Men: First Class” failed to fully invigorate the movie season. But on home video, studios are redoubling their efforts to find way to breathe new life into older film series, starting with high-definition upgrades, and continuing with new extras and extended editions. Take a look at our choices for this week’s top releases on Blu-ray : Superman.

Along with Fox’s release last year of its Alien Anthology, The Superman Motion Picture Anthology (1978-2006) is perhaps the best Blu-ray box set I’ve yet encountered. Similar (though not identical) to the DVD set released in 2006, this Warner Bros. effort (in stores this Tuesday) includes all seven versions of the five films that were produced over the course of a quarter-century. If you are also a movie fan, you can rip this blu ray movie to your own home video by using a bluray ripper.

Superman Anthology (Warner Home Video) – Making audiences believe a man can fly was Richard Donner’s challenge when he undertook the original “Superman” in 1978, but some 20-plus years later the only question that remains is “how good can high-definition make that man flying look?” The answer is surprisingly satisfying, thanks to transfers which, although some of them have existed for several years, do a wonderful job of creating a vivid and authentic comic book world on screen. (This set marks the debut of the “Superman” theatrical cut as well as “Superman III” and “IV” on Blu-ray, and all look terrific regardless how bad the latter two are as movies.) At the same time, this set carries over all of the extra materials of the 2006 SD set, which means that it comes almost overstuffed with documentaries, featurettes, interviews, commentaries, cartoons, and much more.

For my money, Superman (1978) still remains the best superhero movie ever made, full of humor, heart, and an iconic performance by Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel. An Oscar winner for its visual effects, this exciting adventure also contains one of John Williams’ best scores, a rich screenplay by the heavyweight team of Mario Puzo (The Godfather), Robert Benton (Bonnie and Clyde), David Newman (ditto) and Leslie Newman, and terrific performances down the line, including Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane and Valerie Perrine as Eve Teschmacher (the last-named making my teen heart race during the picture’s original run).

Superman II (1981), in which our hero squares off against three super-foes (Terence Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O’Halloran), is slam-bang entertainment, capturing the style of an actual comic book better than just about any other adaptation that comes to mind. The first movie’s director, Richard Donner, was famously replaced on this sequel (by Richard Lester) after ample filming, an occurrence which finally gave way in 2006 to Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut.
