It’s another solid week for Blu-ray.  There are Oscar winners, nominees, and a few classic films brought to Blu-ray for the first time.  There’s also a sequel to Free Willy starring Beau Bridges and Bindi Irwin, daughter of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.

Unless you’re into sparkly vampires, there’s not too much coming out this week.  Lackluster new releases like “Armored” and “Did you Hear About The Morgans” won’t get too many people excited, but there are a few gems if you dig down deep enough.

It’s an award winning week for Blu-ray releases featuring a pair of movies with four Oscar nominated performances between them.  This week also marks the Blu-ray release of one of the most unique and well put together television shows out there.

It’s a really cool week for Blu-ray.   Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster flick finally comes to the home, and a fine adaptation of a picture book comes to life on your screen.  But it’s the stuff you might not have heard of that really makes this week great.

Of all the companies pushing for 3D in the home, Samsung is clearly pushing the hardest.  Their CES showing was more than evidence enough.  They had 3D displays galore, most of which were showing the hit movie Monsters vs Aliens.  They talked 3D up big during their press conference and even brought out Jeffrey Katzenberg of Dreamworks fame to give a talk.
