DMC AWARDS 2009!
"On my ship, excellent performance is standard, standard performance is substandard, and substandard performance is not permitted to exist." - Humphrey Bogart, The Caine Mutiny, 1954
Our staff put our heads together to come up with this year's finest. It wasn't easy, because there were a lot to choose from, and now we've even added Blu-ray to the mix. But, the more the merrier, we always say!
In fact, to show what a quality year this was for disc releases, there actually were no shared titles whatsoever for the Best Overall Disc from either myself, Gordon or Ed...there were enough winners for us each to have a completely distinctive list!
So now, DVD Movie Central proudly brings you the best of the best for 2009...
