Blu-ray releases on April 14th 2009

By Ben Drawbaugh

It's a slow week for blockbuster new releases, but it's a big week for catalog titles. So rather than focus on the new day-and-date movies like Splinter, we will take a look at the awaited older titles. One that we really enjoyed the first time around is 8 Mile, but there is also Mean Girls as well as The Last Kiss. More documentaries are making their way to Blu-ray and one of our favorite sources (PBS) has The Story of India — although we'd rather see more episodes of Nova and Nature. Next week is already looking better though as there are a few X-Men movies as well as another instant classic, Sin City.
