Blu-ray Highlights: Week of June 26th, 2016 – Purity of Ess

June started off with a big rush of new Blu-rays, including at least a couple of must-own titles. As if to give you a chance to catch your breath, the release calendar slows down dramatically this week.

Redemption, thy name is Ryan Reynolds. After several failed attempts, the actor finally headlined a successful (very successful) superhero movie this year. It hits Blu-ray and UHD this week. Beyond that… well, isn’t one big ...
