[/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Universal is preparing 'Bad Moms' for Blu-ray on November 1.

However she's over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she's about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms (Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn) on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities – going on a wild, un-mom-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence – putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate) and her clique of devoted perfect moms (Jada Pinkett Smith and Annie Mumolo). The combo pack will feature 1080p video, lossless 5.1 audio, and supplements include a gag reel and interviews.

Gabriel Carrer's 'The Demolisher' Announced for Blu-ray[teaser]The vigilante thriller is headed for Blu-ray in October. [/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, MPI and Dark Sky Films will be bringing 'The Demolisher' to Blu-ray on October 4. Tormented by a crippling sense of responsibility for his disabled wife Samantha, an ex-policewoman, seemingly ordinary cable repairman Bruce channels his sense of injustice into a dark path of vigilantism. Donning riot gear and taking to the streets to right the seemingly infinite number of wrongs committed every day, Bruce becomes The Demolisher, a one-man wrecking ball tearing through a neon-lit city blighted by crime and hatred. As his tenuous grasp on reality weakens with each foray into the urban decay that surrounds him, Bruce's rage eventually reaches a boiling point that may cost him his own life as well as the lives of the innocent he thought he was protecting. Like the stylistically brutal films of Nicolas Winding Refn, The Demolisher is an unapologetic portrayal of what can happen when a fragile mind is pushed too far. Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price is $29.98.
