Guardians of the Galaxy
2-Disc Blu-ray 3D l DVD l Instant
Directed by James Gunn
Starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Bradley Cooper
Walt Disney Home Entertainment
Release Date: Dec. 9, 2014

The United States’ highest-grossing film of 2014 left moviegoers choosing some new figures to dress up as for Halloween. Peculiar and personable, the stars of Guardians of the Galaxy propose a new age of superheroes. Iron Man and crew are not the only saviors in this or any region. The multifarious beings that lead the pack in Marvel’s summer smash steer their way to a generally satisfying home release.

If there is a theme to this week’s edition of The Digital Wire – and I always try to find at least one – it must be blood. The four big new release announcements of the week share plenty of the warm red stuff that gives life. Blood is spilled, drank, and exploited for fun and profit in vast quantities. Whether it be in digitally enhanced, kid-friendly PG-13 form or in relentless and brutal hard-R form, that which is thicker than water (and much tastier as a barbecue ingredient, or so I’m told) is all over these upcoming releases.
