BLU-RAY TUESDAY: Fairy Tale Adaptation 'Jack the Giant Slayer' Ascends to New Heights on Blu-Ray

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum! Hollywood's latest fairy tale re-imagination, Jack the Giant Slayer, leads this Tuesday's pack of new release Blu-Rays. Directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men, Superman Returns), Jack the Giant Slayer expands on the classic "Jack and the Beanstalk" story, as poor farmboy Jack (Nicolas Hoult) joins an expedition up a beanstalk to rescue a princess from CGI giants dwelling above the clouds.

Jack the Giant Slayer is released in two formats on Blu-Ray from Warner Bros. including a Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital Copy, UltraViolet combo pack as well as a 3D edition that includes the standard combo pack discs. 

BLU-RAY TUESDAY: Disney's 'Oz' Sees Green, 'Hansel & Gretel' Battle Fairy-Tale Witches on Blu-Ray

The first major blockbuster of 2013 makes its way on Blu-Ray this Tuesday, roughly three months after its theatrical release in early March. Oz the Great and Powerful, starring James Franco, Rachel Weisz and Mila Kunis, is set before the 1939 classic when Dorothy arrives in the world of wizards, witches and singing Munchkins exploring how the Wizard of Oz became the mysterious floating head ruling from the confines of Emerald City.

Oz the Great and Powerful is released in multiple formats on Blu-Ray including a Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital Copy combo pack, a Blu-Ray, Digital Copy combo pack and a Blu-Ray 3D, Digital Copy combo pack.

BLU-RAY TUESDAY: 'Warm Bodies' Professes Zombie Love, 'Identity Thief' Continues to Steal on Blu-Ray

The first Tuesday of June is fully loaded with several new choices to check out this week. Four theatrical releases include Warm Bodies, A Good Day to Die Hard, Identity Thief and Escape From Planet Earth, while the latest seasons of Breaking Bad and Falling Skies also street for television audiences.

First up is Warm Bodies, a zombie apocalypse comedy that twists the Shakespeare's classic love story, Romeo & Juliet. "R" (a zombie iteration of Romeo) played by Nicholas Hoult falls in love with human Julie (Teresa Palmer). Together, the two are forced to hide their forbidden love from the humans and zombies, who are at war with one another.

BLU-RAY TUESDAY: 'Cloud Atlas,' 'Texas Chainsaw' Look to Find New Audiences on Blu-Ray

If you don't find success in theaters, there's always a second chance on DVD and Blu-Ray. That statement holds true to both of this week's top new releases, Cloud Atlas and Texas Chainsaw 3D.    

First up is Lana and Andy Wachowski's Cloud Atlas, an ambitious adaptation of the David Mitchell novel by the same name, which interlocks six narratives from six separate time periods. With top name actors, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving and a slew of others unable to draw audiences in on star power alone, Cloud Atlas exploits its complicated story to craft a story of intrigue and epic magnitude. 

Latest "Chainsaw" Slasher Forgets Its Terrorizing Past

Leatherface prepares for another round of killing in Texas Chainsaw 3D.

Four decades have been more than plenty to terrorize the citizens of Texas, but after going for an gratuitous seventh slaughter-fest, Leatherface needs to be put out to pasture. Technically, the chainsaw-wielding maniac should have hung up his mask and signature weapon a decade ago, perhaps even two. Texas Chainsaw 3D is proof that there are limits to how far a series can go, and now this cash-grab is by far the laziest tactic for prolonging it.

Texas Chainsaw 3D opens up by recapping the events of the original 1974 film. Executed as nothing more than a vague setup even for those familiar with Leatherface, the first few minutes preface the lack of directorial heart and cliché narrative expected to unravel over the following 90 minutes. This time around, Heather (Alexandra Daddario) and her stereotypical slasher tagalongs have business down in Texas over her inherited estate. For Heather, there's more than just an estate, but also her crazy cousin, Leatherface.

Pixar Returns Under the Sea for Another 3D Re-Release

You can't help but wonder why these sea turtles sound like surfer dudes.

Andrew Stanton is one of those few directors in recent cinema, who genuinely understands that animation is just not about the set the visuals bar and the abundance of Hollywood voice acting, but it's a medium of art that can bring generations together time and time again. Back in 2003, Disney and Pixar submerged audiences to a world of wonder and as enormous of a canvas as the ocean itself. Technically, it was the ocean itself. But if by chance you were one of the few to miss its original run nearly a decade ago, Disney is re-releasing Finding Nemo 

Finding Nemo starts off with an extremely dark opening for a G-rated film as two clownfish, Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Coral, are forced to defend their anemone home from a menacing barracuda. As a result, Coral is killed as are the majority of their eggs, leaving only Marlin and one egg, an unborn Nemo. The incident leaves Marlin as an overprotective single father. During his first day of school, Nemo (Alexander Gould) defies his high-strung father and ventures off with his classmates to a drop-off point, only to captured by an Australian diver. Frantic for his son's survival, Marlin teams with Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a Blue Tang with memory issues to find his taken son back into theaters with a gouging 3D premium. 

Timeless Disney Classic Returns in All Its Animated Glory

Disney's tale as old as time returns to big screen for the first time in nearly a decade. 

It should be no surprise to see the tale as old as time back on the big screen once more, particularly after the re-release of The Lion King 3D this past fall did more than exceed expectations and extended what was originally intended as a limited two-week engagement. With a Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray 3D releases on the shelf, Beauty and the Beast isn’t here to market these available options, but to give audiences the opportunity to see this classic on the big screen again or for some, the very first time. Disney is a business that constantly seeks to reach newer generations with their classics and re-releases are nothing new for the company. 

Beauty and the Beast is the timeless tale of Belle, an out-of-place village girl who wants so much more than what her little village has to offer. Under a series of circumstances, Belle finds herself the prisoner of the Beast, after taking her father’s place after he intruded upon his castle. What begins as an awkward living arrangement soon blossoms into one of the most touching romances in not just animation, but cinema as a whole.
