Well, now we’re talking! After a not-so-stellar crop of Blu-rays last week (we didn’t even bother mentioning them), we finally have a few releases that may actually be worth whatever you’ve got in your wallet.

This week’s Blu-ray releases feature a steamy indie drama, an acclaimed HBO series, a crop of cute animal creatures, a huge blockbuster with mega-star Tom Cruise, and even a little (good) 3D. There’s certainly something for everyone here. Take a peek and see what might be worth adding into your collection.

Did we miss one of your favorites for the week? Have something to say about one of this week’s new releases? Sound off in the comments below. Otherwise, all of these titles are out now, except where noted. Enjoy!

Check out our Blu-ray Picks for the Week of April 17, 2012.
