Other recent big screen releases hitting Blu-ray include the historical courtroom drama Denial and, on DVD only, both the Taylor Lautner actioner Run the Tide and, a cousin perhaps of the Blair Witch, the faux documentary Operation Avalanche, which posits that America faked the moon landing.
From China, January 3 brings the fantasy action hit Monkey King 2 and, from Japan, the conclusion of the big screen manga adaptation trilogy Ruroni Kenshin III.
Fans of the tremendously poorly received Mariah Carey musical need fret not as January 3 finally brings Glitter to Blu-ray.
Small screen releases hitting January 3 begin with the complete fifth season of HBO‘s Girls. That’s just in time to catch up before the Lena Dunham series begins its final episodes next month. Likewise, Bones season eleven hits (on DVD only) just as the long-running series’ final episodes begin tonight on FOX.
January 3 also brings to DVD the third season of FOX’s Sleepy Hollow and the second season of TNT‘s The Librarians.
Arriving on Digital HD this week is Universal Pictures‘ thriller The Girl on the Train, the superhero family adventure Max Steel, and the stand-up comedy feature Kevin Hart: What Now? Additionally, there’s the digital release of HBO’s Issa Rae series Insecure.
