Amazon

Comments Alex: So – the box cover pretty much spoils the finish of the main event – Brock Lesnar interfering in Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman’s title match by ripping the door off the cage and laying out both competitors with F5s in order to set up a match at WWE Crown Jewel – a Pay Per View to be held this month in Saudi Arabia and paid for by a Saudi Prince who is alleged to have ordered the murder and ostensible dismemberment of a journalist in the Saudi conselate in Istanbul.

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Fans of not only anime, but animation in general will get a lot out of the Mamoru Hosoda Movie collection. Otherwise, someone looking for some spooky viewing in time for Halloween should pick up the new release of Halloween III.” Blaine says, “pick up Ant-Man and the Wasp from a retailer that gives access as my top pick. Of the library titles, Charade and Double Indemnity are both worth watching, although there are better editions available for both.”

  1. Until Disney/Amazon works their crap out, I’m going to keep getting these movies day of (or week of) release at Target.

  2. I had missed Ant-Man and the Wasp in 3D, so we waited to just watch it at home. I think the 3D would have really been worth it for those size-changing action scenes.

    • I saw Ant-Man and the Wasp in regular 2-D at the theatre, and it felt fine.

      Also: Dracula AD 1972 is no masterpiece, but it’s an interesting approach to the subject matter, and worth a look if you like Hammer films.

      I’ll be reviewing the most recent Halloween on Halloween, but, yeah, the Halloween follow-ups thus far have been pretty bad. Season of the Witch at least manages to be original.
