Get Low (Aaron Schneider, 2009) - Starring Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Bill Murray, and Lucas Black, the film is the story of a Tennessee hermit (Duvall) who decides to throw a funeral party while he is still alive, inviting locals to come and tell their stories about him.
Format: DVD - there are a few special features, but nothing sets the Blu-ray version apart other than the fact that it is BD Live-enabled.
Mesrine Part 1: Killer Instinct (Jean-François Richet, 2008) - Vincent Cassel portrays Jacques Mesrine, a real-life, notorious French gangster whose career of bank heists, prison breaks, and kidnappings throughout the 60s and 70s spanned three continents. This is part one of a duology; the second part is slated for DVD/Blu-ray release on March 29th.
Format: DVD - the release is bare-bones, sporting only a theatrical trailer; the Blu-ray is no different, and from what I can tell, it appears to even contain the same quality audio track.
The Stieg Larsson Trilogy (Niels Arden Oplev [
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, 2009], and Daniel Alfredson [
The Girl Who Played With Fire and
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, 2009]) - though the film adaptations of Stieg Larsson's
Millennium Trilogy have already been released individually on DVD and Blu-ray, a boxed set containing all three films - as well as a bonus disc of special features - was released today on both formats. The features, exclusive to this set, include:
-A 53 minute documentary detailing the phenomenon of the
Millennium Trilogy and the personal history of author Stieg Larsson up until his tragic death before
The Girl With the Dragon Tatttoo was published.
-A 20 Minute interview with Noomi Rapace (Lisbeth Salander).
-A 15 Minute Interview with Michael Nyqvist (Michael Blomkvist).
-A 9 Minute "Making of" the fight scene between Niederman and Paulo Roberto in
The Girl Who Played with Fire.
-15 Minutes of Interviews with the Cast and Crew of
The Girl Who Played with Fire and
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.

Format: DVD - it is significantly cheaper to purchase the DVD set, and the content is the same as the Blu-ray release. Right now, the DVD boxed set is only $34.99 on Amazon.com, which is $12.00 cheaper than the Blu-ray version.
Eyes of the Mothman (Matthew J. Pellowski, 2007) - a feature-length documentary about the legend of the Mothman in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Though made in 2007, apparently the filmmaker had trouble finding distribution for the film until now. You can visit the
official website for a more information, including a trailer, detailed history of the legend, and a synopsis of the documentary.
Format: DVD - only available on DVD.
