Captain Phillips is out on blu-ray today and is by far the best of the bunch in the new release pile. Shamefully snubbed by the recent Oscar nominations in Director and Actor (although still a Best Picture nominee), this is a great movie, an exciting and visceral thriller about the hostage taking of Captain Richard Phillips by Somali pirates in 2009. Tom Hanks gives one of the best performances of his career in one of the best movies of the year, so if you didn't see it in theaters, now's the time to check it out.
