As we return from the President’s Day weekend, it’s bio-pic week on Blu-ray. A bunch of last fall’s Oscar bait movies hit video to either remind Academy voters of their existence, or to sulk about getting snubbed.

The tale of Boston crime lord James “Whitey” Bulger is so good that it’s surprising it took this long for someone to make a movie out of it… or at least an official bio-pic anyway. Martin Scorsese flavored his ‘Infernal Affairs’ remake ‘The Departed’ with Whitey’s legend and Joe Berlinger made a pretty fantastic documentary...
