GREG'S PICK OF THE WEEK

District 9 (Blu-ray)
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | 112 mins | Rated R | $39.95

It's not every year sci-fi fans get an intelligent, thought-provoking and action-packed piece of entertainment to rejoice over, but this past summer we got precisely that in Neill Blomkamp and Peter Jackson's District 9. Sony brings the politically-charged sci-fi sensation to Blu-ray Disc packing a DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack plus exclusive extras including an interactive map (“Joburg from Above”), Sony's Cinechat and movieIQ viewing modes plus a Digital Copy of the film.
