Welcome back to another addition of our weekly Blu-ray/DVD picks. This week shows quite a few older titles being brought to Blu for the first time and only a couple new releases. While it may not be an exciting week, there is a diverse crop of films to choose from, if that empty spot on the shelf is just begging to be filled.
