If you thought last week was rough for DVD and Blu-ray fans, this week is more of the same. There is little to be excited about, but some titles present an opportunity to at least please fans of certain genres.

Four classic movies make their way to Blu-ray. The films range from the the dramatic, yet charming Rain Man to one of Robert Downey, Jr.’s best performances as Chaplin.

This week’s two new releases hit both DVD and Blu-ray and offer a variety of genres. Get Low and Unstoppable give this week an interesting range of choices for home entertainment.

The following titles can be found on both DVD and Blu-ray:

TIFF 2009 Must See Films: ‘Get Low’, ‘Precious’ & ‘The Road’

The madness continues at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.

The talk of the festival right now is the performance of Oscar-winner Robert Duvall in his new film, Get Low, in which he portrays a hermit with a dark secret who comes out of hiding to confront the rumors about him in a small southern town in the 30s. Directed by Aaron Schneider, the film is very much like a Horton Foote story, with those flawed yet all-too-human characters standing front and center.

It now looks like The Master of Horror’s next film will be The Ward with Amber Heard.

According to Variety:
