Blu-Ray Review: Spectacular Release For Superior Version of ‘The Wolfman’
Submitted by BrianTT on June 6, 2010 - 8:34pmCHICAGO – A great Blu-ray can come from the most unexpected places. Who would have guessed that the relatively disappointing “The Wolfman” with Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, and Anthony Hopkins would result in one of the best Blu-ray releases of the year to date? With a superior version of the film, perfect HD, and amazing special features, this is a spectacular release.
‘The Wolfman’ With Benicio Del Toro Misses By a Hair
Submitted by BrianTT on February 14, 2010 - 2:04pmRating: 2.5/5.0 |
