This summer’s Ghostbusters reboot took a lot of flak from die-hard fans for being unnecessary and departing from the established canon. There was also a lot of unfortunate vitriol targeting the female cast, but the film weathered the storm and ended up being one of the summer’s biggest earners, making more at the domestic box office than films like Independence Day: Resurgence, Alice Through the Looking Glass, and Warcraft. The movie heads to home video packed with extras including two audio commentaries, two gag reels, over thirty minutes of deleted and extended scenes, and six featurettes.

This could be the last we see of the Ice Age gang as the film, the fifth one in the series, became the lowest-earning even though it had the highest budget. That being said, it still made around $404-million worldwide but only 15% of that came at the domestic box office. If the international draw stays strong the franchise might still have legs beyond 2016. The home video release is available in 4K and features a handful of featurettes including “Scrat: Spaced Out Mini-Movie” and “The Science of It All: deGrasse Tyson deBunks”.

Bryan Cranston’s latest thriller is the perfect movie to watch at home. It had positive critical and audience reviews (69% and 76% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes) but wasn’t really something you would want to pay to see in a theatre. Another benefit of home viewing is the extra features, and this release has an audio commentary by director Brad Furman and Bryan Cranston, plus deleted scenes and two featurettes: “The Three Bobs” (above) and “How to Infiltrate”.
