Blu-ray & DVD: The Digital Dread Report for 5/9

In a world where streaming movies in HD is growing in popularity, it gets harder and harder to justify spending hard earned money on physical media. The fact is though that when done right, nothing makes a movie look or sound better on Blu-ray, so we bring you The Digital dread Report to help you figure out what's worth buying, and what you're better off streaming.

• It gets no better this week than the Director's Definitive Edition of the Michael Mann classic, Heat, being released on Blu-ray. It's an excellent crime thriller that is just about perfect from start to finish, and now that it's got new footage and a ton of supplements, it's well-worth adding to any movie lover's collection. 
• If you don't own them already, then The Godfather movies are a no-brainer of a purchase. 
• And now for the best Horror release of the week! The Frank Henenlotter exploitation flick Brain Damage is hitting Blu thanks to the folks at Arrow Video, and let me tell you that if you've ever wanted to see a sleazy, bloody, crazy flick from the 80's about a parasite that attaches itself to a guy's brain stem where it gives him endless pleasure as long as he kills for it, then this is the flick for you. This Blu-ray is going to be great. 
• And everything else, as always, is a crap-shoot.
