Talk about variety. This week on Blu-ray we've got everything from blockbuster films to Vietnam war footage in HD, to Shakira live in Paris. Starting in the action genre the most anticipated BD release might be Cowboys & Aliens, but we can't not mention the hi-def remastering of Tora Tora Tora, the 1970 dramatization of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Also in action, the Mission Impossible Giftset Collection hits shelves, no doubt timed perfectly with MI Ghost Protocol releasing on Dec. 21 this month.

Want a nice holiday gift? And a deal? Amazon is offering Disney's Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box Collection for $49.99. That's a 50-percent discount off the list price of $100.

If you're an Xbox 360 owner you'll be able to get an app for movie network EPIX when Microsoft launches the new LIVE interface on Dec. 6. The EPIX app will also utilize Kinect voice and gesture commands, enhancing the overall movie search interface. You'll need an EPIX subscription, of course, through your TV service provider.
