DVD/BD Release List – 4/5/11
For those who don’t have DirecTV and can’t wait for NBC to start airing Friday Night Lights’ final season in two weeks, the DVD set arrives today. Watch the finale now, and then shoot smug, in-the-know looks at your slack-ass friends who haven’t seen it yet. Also today, the boring-but-beautiful-looking Tron: Legacy pops up on DVD and Blu-ray, paired with the less boring (but also less beautiful) Tron. Arthouse denizens are well-served this week, with Criterion’s set of silent films by Japanese master Mikio Naruse, and Milestone’s release of Margot Benacerraf’s gorgeous 1959 salt-mining documentary Araya. Finally, fans of the ‘70s film school brats can pick up new Blu-rays of Steven Spielberg’s divisive (but powerful) A.I., and Martin Scorsese’s feverish masterpiece Taxi Driver.
