Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “There are a lot of good movies out this week. If you already own Back to the Future, I’d recommend, strongly, picking up the Criterion Collection release of Kwaidan on Blu-Ray (if you’ve got something that plays it).” Blaine says, “I also strongly recommend Back to the Future if it isn’t already in your collection, or if you just want to upgrade.”
