\"hangover300\"‘Boogie Nights,’ Tarantino’s ‘Basterds’ and ‘The Hangover’ highlight this week’s selections.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s batch of Blu-ray releases offer quality over quantity. Unlike some weeks, there aren\u2019t a big slew of choices. But there are several solid picks to make for some worthwhile viewing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always noteworthy when Quentin Tarantino makes a film, and while \u2018Inglourious Basterds\u2019 is certainly no \u2018Pulp Fiction\u2019 it does have its share of entertaining moments and the usual eyebrow-raising storytelling that the director has become known for. Plus Brad Pitt offers up another quality performance, as does Christoph Waltz as the movie\u2019s main villain.<\/p>\n

Coming off the heels of Tarantino\u2019s success in the mid-90s, Paul Thomas Anderson began delivering equally entertaining epics. His breakthrough film \u2018Boogie Nights\u2019 hits Blu-ray this week, with its fast-paced look at the porn industry of the 70s and 80s. Should be a winner for your sound system, too, with a classic 70s soundtrack setting the tone for the movie.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something a little lighter, or a lot lighter, check out \u2018The Hangover,\u2019 which could make a strong case as funniest movie of the year. And if that\u2019s not enough humor for you, there\u2019s an enormous Mel Brooks Collection due out this week that ought to keep you laughing for days featuring nine movies.<\/p>\n
