"A Conversation with Jerry Bruckheimer" isn't so much a conversation as it is a scene specific commentary. Clips of the movie play while he discusses his personal thoughts and some questions posed to him. In total, there are around twenty minutes of scenes.
There are two audio commentaries that run through the whole movie. Joel Schumacher leads the first one by himself while his writers, Carol Doyle and Mary Donoghue, take over the second. There is one deleted scene, an award ceremony from the Committee to Protect Journalists. If only having one deleted scene sounds odd, it has a purpose.
The actual video of the real event is the next feature. Blanchett copied the real life Guerin perfectly, almost word for word. Why the scene was cut from the film doesn't make much sense considering a little more running time would have been nice. The final extra is a "Producer's Photo Gallery," something Bruckheimer does with every film he works on. He narrates each one. It runs for seven minutes. The one thing missing from this disc is a documentary dedicated solely to Guerin herself. It's a shame one wasn't included. (***)
Though trying to find information on the real Guerin is tough since the movie came out and the internet is filled reviews for it, it's worth tracking it down if you're interested. Here's a nice link to a brief biography. It's probably better heading off to the library though. There's far more information on the movie out there and it's just easier to pick up a book.
