Bluray Tuesday: Featuring Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, Behind The Mask & Scanners

March 27th 2018


This month has flown by and here we are at the last Bluray Tuesday of March. First up is Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, remastered and released from Scream Factory along with a few new bonus features. This one is must pickup for me and the slip cover is nice! Also from Scream Factory are Steelbook editions of Prince of Darkness and Assault on Precinct 13. 80's cult classic Scanners hits Bluray today as apart of the Criterion line and it's remastered as well. The remastered trend continues with Arrow Video re-releasing a new copy of Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I love this film and may double dip on this release. The biggest release today is Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi. This comes in a few different versions, standard Bluray, 4K Ultra HD and a few retailer exclusives. Target will carry a digibook packaging and Best Buy will carry an exclusive Steelbook. Mr. Robot season 3 and Marvel's Legion season one both drop today as well just in time to catch up before the new seasons air coming soon. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!

Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David's routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which David must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real.
