Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “This week is pretty weak. I’m going with WWE Presents OMG 2, as it looks like an interesting mix of some of the great moments in WCW history, with some of their more absurd moments (like Robocop saving Sting from The Four Horsemen).” Blaine says, “restricting myself to titles I’ve seen, I recommend Out of the Past. I also recommend Doctor Who (2005): Series 8, sight unseen, based on the strength of previous seasons.”
While I haven’t seen “Bears,” my family and I have loved the DisneyNature films. They are gorgeous. One of those times that the upgrade to Blu-Ray has been noticeable and worth it.
