Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Western Fans should check out the new Kino Lorber releases of A Fistful of Dollars, and people with 4K TVs (and 4K Blu-Ray players) should go with the 4K release of The Matrix.” Blaine says, “The Matrix and Bad Day at Black Rock are the most compelling titles this week, if you have the compatible hardware.”

  1. I’m curious to see whether The Matrix holds up in 4K. Sadly it’s one of those movies that is harder and harder to watch because, frankly… it’s kinda boring. You just sit there waiting for the (rarer than you remember) action sequences. The movie is like 85% Keanu Reeves listening intently.

  2. I was intrigued by the trailer to I Kill Giants, so I may take a look. And I’ll watch Game Night since I’m a sucker for all things Jason Bateman (though Arrested Development is still on the To-Watch pile).
