April 4th 2017
The first Bluray Tuesday of April has arrived! Not a whole lot of releases this week. The biggest today is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a prequel / sequel set in between episodes III and IV. I saw this in theaters and loved every moment of it. Definitely looking forward to episode VIII this coming December and they have plans to release Star Wars films throughout 2030! Best Buy will carry an exclusive steelbook edition of Rogue One. Target's exclusive will include a 3D disc, character cards in a digipack packaging. New droid K2-SO gets Walmart love as their versions will have an exclusive slipcover. So lots of Star Wars love today. On to the horror releases today are indie films Don't Kill It which looks pretty action horror and We Go On which is a supernatural drama horror film. Both have interesting premises and I look forward to seeing both of these. Scream Factory releases Invasion of the Bee Girls for the first time on bluray. I've never heard of this one and will check out in the near future. Last but not least is hilarious comedy film titled Office Christmas Party. If you want a good laugh this week I'd definitely recommend checking this out. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!
