Fox announced today that the classic (depending on who you ask) Holiday film ‘Jingle All the Way,’ starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, will make its Blu-ray debut on December 2, 2008.
The 1996 film was a hit at the box-office and has recently become somewhat of a classic, airing annually on various television networks. Sure, it’s no “It’s a Wonderful Life” or “Miracle on 34th Street” but it is a nice, heart-warming story of the what a father would do for his son.
TURBOMAN!!!

Mark your calenders for November 18th as Sir Paul McCartney makes his Blu-ray debut in his concert fim ‘The Space Within Us.’ The movie was shot during Paul’s 2005 sold-out US tour with 25 HD cameras.
