CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE [BLU-RAY] (2017): "Though the title might lead one to believe it’ll shoot solely for a super-young audience, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie offers a delight for all ages.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION [BLU-RAY] (1977): "Close Encounters of the Third Kind remains a classic, as Steven Spielberg tells an enchanting story of our first formal meeting with aliens.

Sony, $19.99, 9/19/2017.
