Strong combinations of stories, supplements
Viewers benefit as technology enhances pop-up commentary
On one hand, 2010 was a great year for fans of DVD supplements, as Blu-ray helped pop-up AV commentary really come into its own. On the other hand, the new tech ended up being used a little too often as just a flashy way of presenting the same old rote featurettes. Here are the discs that had the most to offer, from main attractions that commanded attention to extras that did the same.

Then the disc lures you right back with commentary by Jett, screen counterpart Kristen Stewart, and Dakota Fanning, who plays Jett’s bandmate Cherie Currie. Jett has no problem getting on details that have been tweaked, such as those leather pants she never actually wore. “It’s about creating the [icon],’’ Stewart offers. “What does leather do that jeans wouldn’t?’’ Jett says. You tell her, sister.
