Garv’s Pick of the Week: Ready or Not (20th Century Fox)
For the release week of December 3rd:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: Ready or Not [Blu-ray / 20th Century Fox]: I rarely choose a new movie as my “Pick of the Week,” but this clever horror/thriller/comedy deserved a bigger audience than it received in theaters. Samara Weaving has the worst… wedding… night… ever, and she proves she has a true movie star presence.
Additional Titles of Interest —
Big Trouble in Little China [Blu-ray / Scream Factory]: This John Carpenter/Kurt Russell cult favorite has been on Blu-ray before, but now it gets the Scream Factory Collector’s Edition prestige treatment with lots of extras.

The Story of Temple Drake [Blu-ray / Criterion]: A scandalous 1933 Pre-Code drama finds its way into the Criterion Collection.
Tunes of Glory [Blu-ray / Criterion]: One of Alec Guinness’ best performances also gets the Criterion Blu-ray treatment.
