DVD/Blu-ray for Week of February 21st
by 
After a weak set of releases last week there are number of good options this time around on DVD and Blu-ray. Puss in Boots got great reviews and excellent response from audiences, J. Edgar was thought at one time to be an Oscar contender but didn’t quite live up to that stature, and Tower Heist got some really respectable reviews for a comedy – there are also the latest seasons of two Showtime comedy series.
