Your Weekly Source for the Newest Releases to Blu-Ray

There’s a lot to choose from this week. Criterion Collection adds three, two old and one new… Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis star in SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS about a powerful columnist who tries to keep his sister from marrying a jazz musician; SENSO is an Italian classic about a countess and a lieutenant who pursue a self-destructive relationship; FISH TANK tells an edgy, inspirational story of a disadvantaged British girl who longs to be a hip hop dancer. Relish in 80’s buddy cop cinema with Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in 48 HOURS. Admire the melding of nature and art in RIVERS & TIDES, a documentary about Andy Goldsworthy. Have a frighteningly silly time with the “animals attack” schlockfest fan-fave BIRDEMIC. Robert Duvall shines as an eccentric recluse planning his own funeral party in GET LOW, Vincent Cassell gets dangerous as the French gangster MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT, and Christopher Nolan’s fascinating mystery MEMENTO gets a 10th anniversary treatment.
