On Blu-ray this week: July 20 to 26, 2008

We’re pretty sure that you had great viewing fun with the Blu-ray releases last week. This week will keep the music playing by giving you a ton of thrills along with other offerings to add variety. You can see the full list along with movie summaries in the full article up next.

If you liked what you saw from last week‘s Blu-ray releases, wait til you see what’s cooking in the high-def kitchen this week. Thrill seems to be the name of the game from July 20th to the 26th as we’ve got enough incoming blockbusters to keep you gasping for more.

We start things off with Brendan Fraser as he assumes a treasure hunter’s role out to find riches in the Sahara in The Mummy: Deluxe Edition. Along with his family, he discovers an ancient tomb which houses a 3,000-year old horror.

A mummy sentenced to spend an eternity among the living dead has come back to take what is his by restoring his ancient Egyptian kingdom. Fraser’s unwitting crew accidentally take part in setting the fiend loose and now they must find a way to take it back to the underworld before all is lost.

Incidentally, the sequel to The Mummy is also in this week’s list of releases. The Mummy Returns: Deluxe Edition is also here to stay and it brings back the cast from the original with some cool additions.

In the sequel, it’s all-out war as the mummy is resurrected and he’s on a rampage to take control of the armies of Annubis which the Scorpion King once commanded. Fraser and his gang are out to thwart his plans. Don’t miss this one because Dwayne”The Rock” Johnson also makes his film debut here.

And yes, by that we mean WWE legend The Rock. Don’t think that he’s in this week’s Blu-ray releases just for a cameo. Oh, no. Not The Rock. The most electrifying man in sports entertainment got so big that the creators of the two The Mummy films decided to make a movie spin-off starring him and what we have now is The Scorpion King. Follow the prequel and delve into the Scorpion King’s side story for an epic adventure that will leave you sweaty. And did we mention he has an ultra hot leading lady here?

If you like your thrills a little less ancient and bit more psychological, then the classic I Know What You Did Last Summer will definitely warrant a revisit in high-def. Follow what happens when a bunch of teens accidentally kill a man and don’t tell anyone about it. A serial killer is on the loose and it knows their little secret. Will they live to tell about it? Find out for yourself.

Craving more psychos? This week has another one. Urban Legend is another story of a serial killer and a group of teens. When strange killings started happening in campus, a group of students led by Brenda start looking into it. Little do they know that they’re the ones next in the killer’s diabolical list.

And this week’s goodies just keeps on coming. Documentaries, musicals, and other great movies are available and you can see the full list below:
