DVD/Blu-ray Release: Hugo

Paramount Home Entertainment is proudly releasing Martin Scorsese’s Hugo on DVD & Blu-ray today.  Winner of five Academy Awards, this is a visually breathtaking and spectacularly produced love letter to classic cinema that reminds us why we love movies.  One of the best of last year, this film won’t soon be forgotten.  We reviewed Hugo when it opened in theatres on November 23rd, all awarding it our highest recommendation.  Our overall consensus was:

“With beautiful visuals that are made even more immersive by the flawless 3D and a heartfelt story filled with endearing characters, Martin Scorsese’s Hugo is a modern classic about the importance of old movies.  **** (Out of 4)”

The DVD includes a fascinating 20-minute “behind the scenes” featurette.  The Blu-ray release is more loaded in terms of bonus material.

Hugo is 126 minutes and rated PG.
