\"bluray-paranormal300\"Surprise horror hit ‘Paranormal Activity’ along with CGI pleaser ‘9’ mark this week’s scant Blu-ray releases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously the studios just figured if you were going to be purchasing some new Blu-rays for your collection or as gifts, you had everything you needed by the end of last week.<\/p>\n

In this case, Blu-ray has saved the worst for last, as in this could be the worst release week of the year (though we did pick at least one for our Top 50 Blu-ray Releases of 2009) in the final week of \u201809.<\/p>\n

Oh well. If you\u2019re into horror flicks, you won\u2019t be disappointed at least. The low-budget hit Paranormal Activity might make you a little dizzy the way it was filmed, but content-wise it seemed to be more entertaining than the low-budget thriller it was most often compared with, The Blair Witch Project.<\/p>\n

The Blu-ray version details include the theatrical version, as well as an unrated version with alternate ending. Audio will keep you engaged, too, with the DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack in surround sound.<\/p>\n

Another horror movie on tap for this week\u2019s release is Jennifer\u2019s Body, about a demonic cheerleader. As if we haven\u2019t seen that one before. Only this time it stars Megan Fox … in 1080p high-definition, of course.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re more into animation and CGI, you may want to check out 9, which might have been in the theaters for about two weeks in case you missed it. Tim Burton didn\u2019t direct it, but he was a co-producer, and the animation feel of 9 seems to be taken somewhat from Burton\u2019s Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride films. In other words, very good eye candy.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full short list for this week, courtesy of Blu-ray.com:
\n9 Assembly
\nHome Front
\nJennifer\u2019s Body
\nThe Marine 2
\nMetallica: Orgullo Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches en Mexico
\nParanormal Activity
