With Christmas just around the corner, there are some festive treats released by Warner Brothers on Blu-ray this week. The Polar Express hits Blu-ray this week, complete with 3D glasses. Those looking to get a bit more surreal can also get a Blu-ray copy of The Wizard of Oz, which I personally find grows ever creepier with each successive viewing. Both The Polar Express and The Wizard of Oz come as part combo-pack releases which also feature the DVD format versions.
January 18th see the Blu-ray release of Vietnam flick The Green Berets. Starring John Wayne, it was Hollywood's first go at committing the Vietnam war to celluloid. A Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack and a ton of "making of" featurettes bolster the package.
The multiple Oscar-winning Mystic River has also been given a Blu-ray release date. Trailers, interviews and a featurette on how the book was adapted for the big screen are just a few of the extras set for inclusion. You can pick Mystic River up from February 8th.
