This Week on DVD & Blu-ray (08-30-11)
August 30, 2011
It may seem like a slim week, but there are some fulfilling options on the menu this week. Give the revealing documentary “Forks Over Knives” a try, which should cause you to stop and think about what you’re devouring. The Blu-ray releases this week are pretty impressive, especially if you don’t have any Coen brothers in that format. “Good Will Hunting” sees Blu-ray for the first time, and if you feel taking a ride into the Danger Zone again, there’s the 25th Anniversary of “Top Gun”. I plan on seeing if David Hyde Pierce is indeed “The Perfect Host” and catching up with Oscar winner “In a Better World”. Well, there ya have it.

Nikita! Until now, it’s only been available as a really really expensive pack- I saw it in the UK a couple of years ago selling for over a hundred pounds…
