Last week’s Blu-ray release slate had the potential to bankrupt anyone foolish enough to buy every title worth owning. While this week may not be quite as financially devastating, the studios haven’t let up releasing some great titles.
\n<\/p>\n
Here’s what we’re up against:<\/p>\n
The two best releases of the week are both catalog titles. Paramount offers the Audrey Hepburn classic ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/strong>‘, while Disney gives ‘Dumbo<\/strong>‘ a 70th Anniversary Edition.<\/p>\n Of the day-and-date titles, ‘Bridesmaids<\/strong>‘ is by far the most appealing. The R-rated comedy was a big hit over the summer for writer\/star Kristen Wiig. <\/p>\n Back to catalog titles for a minute. Despite being a fairly obvious ‘Sixth Sense’ knockoff and having a twist ending that’s pretty easy to figure out in advance, ‘The Others<\/strong>‘ is still a classy and atmospheric ghost story starring Nicole Kidman. Beyond that, a pair of campy ’80s cult flicks also make their high-def debuts: ‘Dead Heat<\/strong>‘ and ‘Vamp<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n The second season of ‘Modern Family<\/strong>‘ leads the TV offerings this week. HBO’s ‘Hung<\/strong>‘ is perhaps an acquired taste, but I enjoy it. On the other hand, I just couldn’t get into ‘How to Make It in America<\/strong>‘ and had to give up after the first couple of episodes. I’m really surprised that HBO renewed that one for a second season. <\/p>\n Finally, the Criterion Collection brings out two Claude Chabrol classics from the 1950s: ‘Le Beau Serge<\/strong>‘ and ‘Les Cousins<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week’s Blu-ray release slate had the potential to bankrupt anyone foolish enough to buy every title worth owning.
