New on Blu-ray/DVD

The latest in the DC Universe’s Animated Original Movies brings the explosive “All-Star Superman,” which finds Superman recognizing his approaching death and dealing with saving the Earth one last time and revealing himself to the one he loves the most: Lois Lane. The Blu-ray is packed with illuminating special features and the disc looks great. B+

Wesley Snipes is at it again; kicking butt and paying off his debt to the IRS. It would at least be interesting if that were the actual plot of his latest direct-to-Blu-ray release “Game of Death.” But alas, the movie is just another run-of-the-mill actioner that finds Snipes as a CIA agent out to clear his name and take down powerful assassins. Snipes, per his usual, looks bored, and frankly, so are we. F

Woody Allen is back, but unfortunately, it’s one of his dreary dramas coming to Blu-ray and DVD with his latest, “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.” Again, intertwining stories dealing with unhappy marriages (Anthony Hopkins and Gemma Jones, Josh Brolin and Naomi Watts), infidelity (Hopkins and Brolin, again) and blatant unethical behavior (the two men, yet again). For all the dour examination of relationships, no revelations can save this movie. The only diversion is the fantastically loopy performance of Lucy Punch as Hopkins’ new wife. The disc contains no bonus features (per Allen’s usual). D+
