Welcome Back to The Stack! I'm your host Dave Canfield and this week I'm looking at home video releases from the first two weeks of January.

What's included? Jaume Belaguero's masterful thriller Sleep Tight, the sci-fi comic book based actioner Dredd, and the brand new 3 disc set of Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer. Also new to Blu-ray are a Digibook of Driving Miss Daisy, and Grand Hotel and Miss Miniver, winners of the Best Picture Academy Award for 1931/32 and 1941, respectively.
