In this edition of This Week in Blu-ray, it is time to usher in the month of September with a swath of TV-on-BD, a forecast for the weeks to come as the fall television season heats up.

Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves training friends and strangers alike in the deadly and mystical way of Jewish martial arts. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. This week we have Sin Nombre, Good Dick, and Israeli Martial Artists!

A little less than a year ago Brea Grant was still relatively under the radar, making her debut on Heroes as the speedy Daphne Middlebrook. How the times have changed.

Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) faces off against Sylar (Zachary Quinto) to keep him from meeting the President (Michael Dorn). Sylar has his own plans for his new partner.

Sylar continues his unusual partnership and begins to have an unexpected identity crisis. Hiro and Ando take measures toward bringing down Building 26.

An alliance is formed between Sylar and Danko, wounds are healed between Peter and Angela and Claire and Nathan, and Heroes prepares to make the next move.

HRG convinces Emile Danko, a.k.a. The Hunter, to release Tracy from Building 26, in hopes that she will lead them to Rebel. As Angela evades capture, she turns to an old friend for help. In Los Angeles, Hiro and Ando continue on their latest mission from Rebel to protect the newest hero.

When Sylar (Zachary Quinto) comes face-to-face with his long lost father (guest star John Glover), the reunion proves to be what he least expected.

After receiving a tip from Rebel, Matt (Greg Grunberg) and Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) race to Building 26 to rescue Daphne (Brea Grant) and recover files that will expose the government’s plans for those with abilities.

While being held hostage, HRG is subjected to Matt Parkman’s unique brand of interrogation, revealing how he became involved with Nathan’s government plot to capture those with abilities. Meanwhile, Matt’s discoveries bring Peter face-to-face with “The Hunter”.

I have to admit that we are a little dizzy writing this review, as Heroes seems to be running around in circles when it comes to their story.

Following a chain of unexpected events, the heroes are on the run from Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) and the Hunter (Zeljko Ivanek). A series of prophetic paintings reveals the tragic fate of someone close to Matt (Greg Grunberg). Elsewhere, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) continues the search for his father and encounters an outcast with information and an ability of his own.

Three weeks after the destruction of both the Primatech and Pinehurst, and the death of Arthur Petrelli (Robert Forster), the now-villainous Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) returns with a vengeance by persuading the U.S. President and the government to round up all people with abilities.

A film based on an autobiography in which the hero plays himself. To Hell and Back is a gritty war story of a man who goes well beyond the call of duty and earns the Medal of Honor and Hero Status in the process.

On today’s installment of The Diversion, we celebrate ‘Lost’ returning to TV screens everywhere.

The following clip — from the upcoming sci-fi flick Push from director Paul McGuigan — is being called the ‘telekinetic gun fight.’ In truth it is more of a telekinetic beat down scene…

Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) has to choose what side of the forthcoming war he is on, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) tries to find a little monster in all of us and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) has to choose who lives, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) or Angela Pertrelli (Cristine Rose).

Hiro (Masi Oka) and Claire (Hayden Pannetiere) change the course of the catalyst 16 years ago, while Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) experiments with it in the present.

I am no longer calling this season Heroes: Villains. It will from here on out be better known as Heroes: Smoke and Mirrors, because everything we have come to believe was true is now being revealed as a lie.

The heroes prepare for the impending solar eclipse that will change everything. The only question is: are you still watching?
