The powerful presence of Spielberg hangs over every frame of "Super 8." J.J. Abrams makes the film an outright, full-blown homage to The Beard's career, leaving Super 8 standing as only a shrine to Spielberg’s talents rather than Abrams’ own.

This Tuesday offers a huge amount of Blu-ray releases... but it’s a mixed bag to be sure. What should you consider for your HD library and viewing pleasure? Here’s what we recommend for this Tuesday, June 7th:

This week the word on the street is giving high recommendations to the following Blu-ray releases:

We're focusing on Green Zone this week here at HD Report, but there are of course other releases for June 22nd. Suffice to say, you can never go wrong with Criterion, though sometimes other distributors give their releases just as much love...

In the final analysis, Green Zone is a top-notch film with an interesting political thriller edge, though the action and chase sequences get the most attention. The Blu-ray release is a nicely packaged treat with a generally impressive picture and an extremely pleasing sound mix.

This week looks like a dump of lesser titles, tv/cable series offerings and some B-grade genre grinds, but there is one must-own title, for indie-fans (or fans of what was once called Independent Cinema) and one truly spectacular little gem of a horror film. There’s also a real stinker from the 80’s that somehow still has legs as trash cinema cult fave.

This week's picks offers one absolutely must-have disc for your hi-def library, three if you're a really keen cineaste with a yen for the experimental and if you don't mind a little digital dusting (aka DNR) marring an otherwise classic epic. The rest of the bunch are a mixed batch of titles you're probably better off renting.

Tuesday the 27th brings us plenty of new Blu-ray releases that might be worth a rental, but hardly any that demand a purchase.

This week's 4/13/10 Blu-ray street date offers three major releases for those wishing to upgrade, and though one of them may not be essential ("Apollo 13"), two of them are ("Gone With The Wind" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street"). As for the rest, caveat emptor.
