Today on Blu-ray - December 29th
Posted December 29, 2009 09:06 AM by Josh Dreuth

Rarely is the technology used to manifest nightmares of post-apocalyptic war zones, an unfortunate result of incorrect labeling of CG as always having to be child friendly. Today's Blu-ray release of ‘9' is an excellent example of a more adult focused animated film, and it goes a long way to change that stereotype.
