This week's DVD Tuesday is dominated by indie
offerings: Rachel McAdams, Pierce Brosnan, and Oscar winner Chris Cooper star
in the period drama Married Life; Helen Hunt makes her
directorial debut with the romantic dramedy Then She Found Me;
and John C. Reilly and Seann William Scott face off in the workplace comedy The
Promotion.
Our DVD pick for the week is Transformers,
which finally arrives on Blu-ray today. Now fans can scrutinize every frame of
Optimus Prime's transformation in sparkling hi-def while taking advantage of a
variety of special features, including a picture-in-picture "heads up
display," commentary by director Michael Bay, and a variety of featurettes
chronicling the making of the blockbuster film.
Fans can also go online with Sony's BD Live and
access a variety of web-exclusive content. Paramount promises to add Transformers-related
goodies on a regular basis (including, we hope, an advanced look at next
summer's much-anticipated sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).
