Final Thought: Blu-ray Releases January 2017
A good selection of old and new or classic and modern this week. It is great when classics such as His Girl Friday are restored and released on Blu-ray, its like rediscovering the film all over again.
Plus it makes these older films way more accessible to a younger audience.
