Home Screening Room - It's Monsters This Week

It's Monsters This Halloween Week. 

Big Releases from Theaters

Monsters University – Rated G (voices of Billy Crystal, John Goodman)

R.I.P.D – Rated PG-13 (Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds)

Two movies that had totally different results in the box office both come home on the same day. R.I.P.D. bombed at the theaters, but that can sometimes mean good things for the DVD release. Haven’t seen the extras here just yet, but the movie itself…well it bombed for a reason. On the other hand, Monsters University comes from a successful run in the theaters with a Blu-ray that is loaded with extras. I HAVE explored this one and will have more about it in another column.

Also New This Week

The Bible: The Eipc Miniseries – Not Rated (Diogo Morgado, Amber Rose Revan)

Byzantium – Rated R (Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan)

Don’t Trust the B…in Apartment 23: The Complete Series

Home Alone: The Holiday Heist – Not Rated R (Christian Martyn, Eddie Steeples)

Raising Hope: The Complete Third Season

What a cross-section here. From the Bible to another B and yet another turn with Home Alone? Remember the first Home Alone took the box office by storm in November of 1990 (23 years ago now).  

Final Score

The Monsters University Blu-ray / DVD combo pack needs to be in your collection. Every fan of Disney / Pixar films should see the background here that looks behind the scenes of the absolutely cool Pixar Studios..

Pop Popcorn, Do the DietDew, and Bust out the Blu and remember to Save Me A Seat!
