Blu-ray Highlights: Week of May 21st, 2017 – Paint It Black (and White)

Can you believe we’re expected to pay full price for a Blu-ray that leaves out all the movie’s colors? These Hollywood studios are getting to be real penny-pinchers. What’s next, are they going to forget the sound too? New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Logan‘ – Despite having neither ‘X-Men’ nor ‘Wolverine’ in the title, Hugh Jackman’s third...

New Blu-rays this week close one franchise and reopen another. More importantly, a cult rock-and-roll musical finally gets its proper due.

Weekend Roundtable: Best and Worst Actor/Directors
