Top 10 Blu-ray Releases of the Week
By Arlen Schweiger
Jeff Bridges' Oscar-winning performance in Crazy Heart, Cruise in Minority Report, highlight this week's new releases on Blu-ray.

Perhaps it was one of those “lifetime achievement recognition” type of honors, but Jeff Bridges topped some pretty good competition at this year’s Academy Awards to win the Best Actor nod for his role in Crazy Heart.

You can see the worthy performance in high-definition when it hits shelves on Blu-ray this week, with the story of a washed-up musician certainly one of the more interesting efforts out there for new releases.

While that one may be more of a character study than a visually stunning and awesome sounding movie for your home theater, we invite you to turn to Minority Report for those wishes. The futuristic Steven Spielberg-directed film starring Tom Cruise is already being cited for reference-quality HD video.

Here are our top picks of the week.



Crazy Heart
Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean, a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician.

Minority Report
This science fiction-thriller reflects the themes of concealed identity and mind control. Tom Cruise stars as John Anderton, a Washington, D.C. detective in the year 2054. Anderton works for “Precrime,” a special unit of the police department that arrests murderers before they have committed the actual crime.
