After 25 years in the industry, Joel and Ethan Coen have filmmaking down to a fine art. And as such, A Serious Man plays like a meticulously orchestrated symphony.
With equal parts reverence for and mockery of suburban Jewish society in the 1960s, A Serious Man is unlike any other movie from 2009. Then again, each and every one of the Coen brothers’ films stands out from its contemporaries. In this updated Job story, Michael Stuhlbarg plays Larry Gopnik, a middle-aged Jewish physics professor who doesn’t know how good he’s got it until his world comes crashing down at his feet. The film hits DVD this Tuesday, and it’s definitely one for the collection. Follow the jump to see why.

On one hand it’s great Fox has been releasing their catalog titles in 1080p and in DTS looking great. On the other hand, they haven’t put in that much work to jazz it up for audiences buying it a second time. None of the films here have anything new, but all look appreciably better in their Blu-ray iterations. After the jump are my reviews of “Predator 2″, “Fargo” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” on Blu-ray.
