Hey-oh it’s Tuesday and that means new blu-rays. This week is delivering some good releases, I think. This week’s picks are The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Thank You for Your Service, that’s right two picks this week and I haven’t seen either of them. The only release out this week I’ve seen is Jigsaw, it was alright but don’t buy it.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Dr. Steven Murphy is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon who presides over a spotless household with his wife and two children. Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin, a fatherless teen who insinuates himself into the doctor’s life in gradually unsettling ways. Soon, the full scope of Martin’s intent becomes menacingly clear when he confronts Steven with a long-forgotten transgression that will shatter his domestic bliss forever. – A24
Thank You for Your Service
Sgt. Adam Schumann tries to readjust to civilian life after returning home from the war in Iraq. Fellow soldier Tausolo Aeiti must deal with the aftermath of a bombing that left him with a traumatic brain injury. Will Waller searches for normalcy after surviving several explosions, while Michael Emory must deal with the effects of a sniper’s bullet to the head. With memories of the battlefield still lingering, the soldiers soon begin their long journey to physical and emotional rehabilitation. – Universal Pictures
Same old song and dance, I wanted to see both of these while they were in theaters but I never got a chance. I heard they were both good and they both have Rotten Tomatoes scores above 75%. We’ll have to take other people’s opinions on these two but I am interested in both for sure.
