It's time. After a long wait, AMC's Breaking Bad is back and kicking off its final half-season Sunday night. That's not all however, as a flood of Blu-ray discs come to shelves including Disney classics Robin Hood, Oliver and Company and Sword in the Stone, the infamous bomb Ishtar, Wing Commander, Action Jackson and more. HBO is also kicking off its annual Hard Knocks series, this time focusing on the Cincinnati Bengals. Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.
Breaking Bad
What else is there to say? If you're somehow not watching one of the best shows on TV right now, the first half of season five has just been added to Netflix streaming, so you've got all week to binge-watch and get up to date. There will only be a few more episodes before we say good bye to Walt, Jesse and the rest, so enjoy it. After the episode is over though, the network likely hopes you'll stick around for a new cop show it's debuting, Low Winter Sun -- check out a preview embedded after the break.
(August 11th, AMC, 9PM)
Oblivion
If the plot of director Joseph Kosinski's previous effort Tron: Legacy didn't grab you then Oblivion may be another disappointment, but there's one key feature on this Blu-ray that the other film didn't have: a music-only version of the film. With fantastic special effects and a soundtrack courtesy of M83, you can enjoy Tom Cruise's post-apocalypse adventures without little things like dialogue getting in your way.
