Forget “The Da Vinci Code”, “Cinderella Man”, “A Beautiful Mind”, and the three-and-a-half million other movies and television shows he’s played a part in, actor/producer/writer/director Ron Howard’s crowning achievement is “Apollo 13”, save for his work portraying the affable little Opie Tayler back in the ’60s.  Lucky for us, the 15 anniversary of “Apollo 13” is out today for the first time on Blu-ray, allowing us to relive every tension filled second of the fateful Apollo 13 mission (depicted by Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris) in full 1080p clarity.  At $19 on Amazon, it’s money well spent.

If you’ve been watching “Mad Men” and want to add season 3 to your home Blu-ray collection or you’re like me and are too lazy to watch a television show weekly and instead prefer to cram it all into a weekend 10-hour viewing marathon, “Mad Men” season 3 is out tomorrow for your viewing entertainment.  Season 3 takes us back to 1963, where answers to season 2’s questions will be revealed.  What’s Don’s future at the agency?  What impact will Betty’s pregnancy have on her and her husband’s marriage?  Want an even better incentive to watch?  Check out these photos of the beautiful January Jones – need I say more?   You can pick up “Mad Men” season 3 on Blu-ray from Amazon for $33.
