Picture: C+ (Woman: B-)     Sound:  C+ (Woman: B-)     Extras: B-/C+/B-/C+/C+     Features: B-/C+/B-/C+/B-

 

 

Tyler Perry has seen some of his theatrical releases hit Blu-ray, but several have been noticeably absent.  Five that we previously covered on DVD have now arrive don Blu-ray and at the same time.  Here are the links to our original coverage with notes below each link, followed by technical information:

 

Diary Of A Mad Black Woman DVD Set

http://www.fulvuedrive-in.com/review/5562/Tyler+Perry%E2%80%99s+Diary+Of+

 

The Blu-ray has the same extras as the double DVD set.

 

The Family That Preys DVD

The Blu-ray adds deleted scenes.

 

Madea’s Family Reunion Full Screen DVD

http://www.fulvuedrive-in.com/review/3925/Madea%27s+Family+Reunion+(2006/F

 

The Blu-ray adds three featurettes and stills.

 

Medea Goes To Jail DVD

http://www.fulvuedrive-in.com/review/8712/Madea+Goes+To+Jail+(2008/Tyler+Per

 

The Blu-ray has the same extras.

 

Why Did I Get Married? DVD
http://www.fulvuedrive-in.com/review/6633/Tyler+Perry+%E2%80%93+Why+Did


The Blu-ray doubles the featurettes.

 

 

All are presented in 1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition presentations, save 1.85 on Married and Reunion.  All have motion blur and softness limits, but are at least slightly warmer and better than their DVD counterparts.  Diary is the clear winner with the least blur, better color range and the best overall performance.  Diary is also the standout in the other dialogue-based mixes on all five Blu-rays, all presented in DTS-HDF MA (Master Audio) lossless 5.1 mixes with the best soundfields of all, though it too has limits.  The rest are too dialogue-based and sometimes too much towards the center.
