I can’t keep up with the massive amount of release news that hits on a weekly basis. And quite often, I just don’t really care about the titles being announced and therefore have a tough time forcing myself to make time to post about them.

Sigh…

So, I’m going to try to do one of these “Round-Up” posts once a week or so to give you a look at some of the other films coming to Blu-ray. I actually really like most of these films here, in today’s list. Just don’t have the time to give them all individual posts. And in some cases, the studio has yet to give us all the information about the Blu-ray disc.

Let’s get off to the races, then. Title news and announcements follow:
