Blu-Ray/DVD Releases: January 29, 2013

Posted by on
Those who are looking for a few light-hearted films to cozy up with this week are out luck. The majority of titles are looking dark and gritty, with the exception of Hotel Transylvania. If that's what you are looking for, there are plenty of flavors to choose from. Seven Psychopaths and Paranormal Activity 4 are probably the standout titles, and while I personally can't attest for PA4, Psychopaths is a must see.  

 In addition to the "new" releases, there are some cult classics getting the hi-def treatment, so hit the jump to get the full rundown of my picks this week.
