Another week, another edition of The Digital Wire. This week, some of the year’s finest and most entertaining films will soon be available for you to own, rent, stream, or just ignore in lieu of reading a good book. There’s also some total junk coming soon, too. I’ll leave it to you to decide which is which.

Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon. We would greatly appreciate it if you use those links to order because a small percentage of each order helps keep this website running at max power. The cover art for certain titles has yet to be finalized.
