Bluray Tuesday returns! Next week is Black Friday week and Best Buy and Targets ads have been dropped a few days early. There are many great deals on blurays next week, so if you haven't checked them out they are posted on their respective sites. So back to this week, we have a few re-releases and new releases to add to our growing collections. Scream Factory releases an awesome edition of  David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers that I'm excited to add to my collection. Scream Factory is on a roll with these releases. Next up is inde thriller Bachelor Games. I watched this earlier this year and for the most part enjoyed it.  there are a few twists and the acting is okay but ending reveals kinda threw me off. I would recommend a watch. Finding Dory is one of the biggest releases today. I loved Finding Nemo and am definitely looking forward to this sequel. I missed it in theaters so it's a day one purchase for me. Target will carry a steelbook packaging that includes 4 lithographs and Best Buy's version will include an activity book. Star Wars Fans can get The Force Awakens 3D in a cool light up collectible packaging that looks pretty epic. Last but not least is the complete sixth season of Game Of Thrones, which is released a bit sooner than usual for its bluray and dvd releases. So what will you be buying, renting or skipping this week? Let us know in the comments and dont forget to follow our Instagram page. Until next week!
