This week's new DVD & Blu-ray

Jaws Do you really need another copy of Jaws? It is seen as the film that heralded in the modern blockbuster age, but it wasn't made with that intention, according to the comprehensive documentary, The Shark Is Still Working, which is included here. While Jaws still seems fresh, in many ways it couldn't be more different from our current multiplex fodder. Is there any character as memorable as Quint in this summer's haul of movies? Any dialogue as impacting as his USS Indianapolis speech? You'd kill for such quality today. Jaws wasn't a hit because of the advertising, celebrity starpower, the simplicity of its concept or its distribution. It hit big because it's really, really good. It's astoundingly well made, with the fingerprints of a talented director, the then relatively unproven Steven Spielberg, all over it rather than bearing the uneven marks of being steered by a committee or market research – just look at the cast, all middle-aged apart from Richard Dreyfuss, that wouldn't happen in a summer movie today. Seen in this new HD version the film hasn't aged at all. It's like seeing it again for the first time. Scenes that were murky on previous formats are crisp and clear here. So, yes, you really do need another copy of Jaws. Blu-ray, Universal Boardwalk Empire: Season Two An improvement from the good first season as the show becomes part gangster epic, part Greek tragedy. DVD & Blu-ray, Warner The Hunger Games Some of the film-making isn't up to scratch but Jennifer Lawrence's performance saves it. DVD & Blu-ray, Lionsgate [REC] 3 Genesis Third outing for the Spanish horror franchise – synced to a brief cinema run. DVD & Blu-ray, Entertainment One Filthy, Rich & Catflap Brilliantly squalid 80's comedy show set on the bottom rung of the showbiz ladder. DVD, Acorn Media
