Comment by Dr. Loomis – Cinema Releases January 5 2018
I hope you all had a great Christmas and watched lots of great films on the television or at the cinema. I’ll watch the latest instalment of Insidious but that’s only out next week in the UK.
Nothing else really stands out but I may give Hostiles a go if I have time over the next few days otherwise I have more than enough exceptional Blu-ray titles from Arrow Video, Indicator and Studiocanal to still watch. In fact you can find out more by taking a look at the Popcorn Cinema Show Blu-ray Awards 2017.
