Top 10 Blu-ray Releases of the Week
By Arlen Schweiger
District 9, Family Guy, It Might Get Loud highlight this week's releases.

The week's short list of Blu-ray releases is highlighted by District 9, this year’s very well-received sci-fi thriller. And the reviews of the Blu-ray high-def disc are already matching the praise with the video quality—one review on Blu-ray.com mentioned that just about every frame (in 1.85:1 aspect ratio) features reference-quality video.

Combine that with what should be a stellar DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack and we may have a latecomer for demo disc of the year with District 9.

Speaking of quality audio, one movie you probably did not hear about but is definitely worth checking out is It Might Get Loud. If you’re a documentary fan and guitar fan, this is a must-have. It features guitar heroes Jimmy Page, Edge and Jack White talking about what they know best.

Here are our Top 10 Blu-ray Releases of the Week.



District 9
Thirty years ago, aliens made contact with Earth, and humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with them.

Family Guy: Something Something Something Dark Side
The story of The Empire Strikes Back is retold as only Family Guy can. Darth Vader (Stewie) is hunting the rebel Luke Skywalker (Chris) and his troops relentlessly. On the ice planet Hoth, Luke has a vision of his late mentor Obi- Wan Kenobi (Herbert), telling him to go to the Dagobah system to learn the ways of the Force under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl).
