We’ve got another round of Blu-ray releases for you this week and this batch really spells variety. While last week was dominated by Disney and Pixar flicks, this week is just brimming with titles from a number of genres. We’ve got three complicated heists and the perfect crew to do them, animals from four continents, aliens, blond muscle-bound fighters from another planet, an assassin, more Masters of Horror, and prisoners plotting to escape.

We’re sure you know most of the people we’re talking about: Danny Ocean and his crew, Son Gokou, Roy Neary, and Michael Scofield. For those who aren’t familiar with them, they are from Ocean’s Eleven (Twelve and Thirteen), Dragon Ball Z, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Prison Break, respectively. Let’s discuss some of them, shall we?

     

Michael Scofield is pretty weird. We say so because most people want to get out of prison, Michael on the other hand, wants exactly the opposite. He wants to get in in order to bust his brother out. Of course, that won’t be easy. That’s basically Season One of Prison Break. Will Michael’s elaborate plans succeed or not?

Danny Ocean assembled the perfect crew to pull off intricate and complicated heists. Be it to steal money from a Las Vegas casino, make a contest out of stealing the Coronation Egg, or avenge an old friend, the Eleven is up for it. Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen are all included in Warner Bros. Blu-ray Gift Set for this week. So, are you ready to get cracking with some heists?

Roy Neary was mistaken for a nut job. Who wouldn’t? He made a plateau made out of paper mache. Who wouldn’t assume that Roy regularly wears tinfoil hats? Well, if you watched this Steven Spielberg classic, you’d know just what happens when you’re always skeptical of things that are beyond explanation.
