While we haven't seen official press releases on them, Universal is releasing the following 3D and catalog during the first part of the year. No pricing on the 2/8/11 catalog titles but they are listed as budget Blu-ray so hopefully they will be inexpensive.

UNCLE BUCK







Product Source: Theatrical
Theatrical Studio: Paramount
Theatrical Release: 8/16/1989



Synopsis: John Candy stars in Uncle Buck, the outrageous comedy written and directed by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club). As an idle, good-natured bachelor, Uncle Buck is the last person you would think of to watch the kids. However, during a family crisis, he is suddenly left in charge of his nephew and nieces. Unaccustomed to suburban life, fun-loving Uncle Buck soon charms his younger relatives Miles and Maizy with his hefty cooking and his new way of doing the laundry. His carefree style does not impress everyone though - especially his rebellious teenage niece, Tia, and his impatient girlfriend, Chanice. With a little bit of luck and a lot of love, Uncle Buck manages to surprise everyone in this heartwarming family comedy.

I love The River Wild. A great thriller and Meryl Streep once again proving she can do anything.

Don't be embarassed about Barb Wire. If you explain to people that you appreciate its references to Casablanca (Barb is essentially Bogart in Casablanca), you sound more like an artiste and less like a voyeur.
