This week’s MSN DVD column is about the paucity of Canadian films on Blu-ray, and — HEY! WAKE UP! THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE HERE!

Ahem.

This week’s MSN DVD column is about the paucity of Canadian films on Blu-ray, and how it’s nice to see a label actively trying to fix that. So props to Alliance Films for bringing “Exotica” and “The Sweet Hereafter” to BD in lovely HD transfers, and boo to everyone else who shrugs and says, “Yeah, they’re doing something, so we don’t have to.”

Point is, you can have my all-region UK edition of “Pontypool” when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. Or when you ask to borrow it, which is probably easier.
