Stop-Loss, Mad Men: The First Season, Batman: The Movie
Stop-Loss
(Paramount, $34.99)
When released, Stop-Loss was written off as just another film about the Iraq war, said New York. But director Kimberly Peirce’s “satisfying rabble-rouser” about a controversial military policy turns out to be a “heartfelt follow-up” to her 1999 debut Boys Don’t Cry.

Mad Men: The First Season
(Lion’s Gate, $49.99)
One of TV’s “best dramas” is now on Blu-ray disc, said Alan Sepinwall in the Newark, N.J., Star-Ledger. AMC’s series about the power trips of ad executives in the early 1960s is an “astonishing achievement.” The commentary and chic packaging make this deluxe set “absolutely worth the purchase price.”
