Like most recent weeks the Blu-ray Disc releases have dwindled down to a few hit titles and maybe a good TV show boxed-season. But at least this week we’re treated to a handful of Sly Stallone movies from the 80’s and 90’s now transfered to hi-def Blu-ray: Cobra (1986) capitalized on Stallone’s success with the Rocky and Rambo series and at the time starred a very familiar Brigitte Nielsen (Red Sonja); Wesley Snipes (Blade, U.S. Marshals) stars with Stallone in the futuristic Demolition Man (1993); Assassins (1995) pits Sly as hitman Robert Rath against a younger but more reckless assassin Miguel Bain played by Antonio Banderas. And, the beautiful Sharon Stone stars along with Stallone, James Woods and Eric Roberts in The Specialist (1994).
