Top 10 Blu-ray Releases of the Week
By Arlen Schweiger
Explosions, gunfights and stories set in the past, present and future highlight this week's new Blu-ray releases.

If it’s action you want, then it’s action you’ll get in high-definition this week. After a couple of ho-hum weeks this month, April is ending with a bang - and we’re not even counting Avatar, released last Thursday, in our Top 10 Blu-ray releases of the week.

There’s plenty else to get the testosterone flowing and the home theaters cranking. For big-time explosions, Bruce Willis and Armageddon make their way onto Blu-ray. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack from our favorite action director Michael Bay should be enough to make any theater rattle.

If you want a more low-key suspense movie starring Mr. Willis, check out the game of wits as he matches against Richard Gere in The Jackal.

Here are our top picks of the week.




Tombstone
Former U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp’s plan for peace, quiet and prosperity misfires when he, his brothers and the rogue Doc Holliday encounter a ruthless band of outlaws, the Cowboys.

Armageddon
A low earth orbit space station is in the middle of a repair mission with the space shuttle when an unforeseen meteor shower obliterates them both. This sudden event sends fireballs hurtling to Earth and scientists scurrying to telescopes. With 18 days to impact, NASA frantically tries to find a solution, and Harry Stamper and his team of oilmen are called upon to save the planet.
