BEST-SELLERS

We bid farewell to the Wolverine
this month with the release of
Logan
. The mutton-chopped
mutant's swan song is the best
film in the standalone series to
date, and has been appropriately
afforded a lavish Limited Edition
Steelbook featuring artwork by
original comic book artist Steve
McNiven – exclusive to JB Hi-Fi.
This Steel won't last long, so make
it a priority to get your claws on
it without delay! Bonus features
– over 80 minutes of them –
comprise Making Logan, audio
commentary by director James
Mangold, and deleted
scenes (with optional
director commentary).
Out June 7.
Animated block-buster
The LEGO Batman
Movie
is another Limited Edition
Steelbook exclusive to JB that will
be quickly be, err, snapped up by
collectors. It's also available in a
3D version as well as 4K UHD, and
all three editions are loaded with
extras including original animation
shorts, a making-of doc and
deleted scenes. Out June 28.
The live-action version of
Disney's
Beauty and
the Beast
is also available in
a beautiful Steelbook edition
featuring distinctive rose artwork,
with standard Blu-ray and 3D
editions also available. Extras
include an Enchanted Table Read,
deleted scenes, and a look behind
the scenes at the making of the
musical sequences. Out June 21.
John Wick is
back, shooting
up cinemas
in the sequel
to the 2014
breakout
action hit
that was
the perfect
comeback vehicle for
Keanu Reeves. The
original quietly slipped
under the radar and if
you've yet to discover
why this is one of the
best hitman thrillers in
years, check out
John
Wick
on Blu-ray and
4K UHD – the Keanu
revival starts here!
The War for the
Planet of the Apes
begins in cinemas July
27 so now is the time
to revisit the first two
chapters –
Rise of the
Planet of the Apes
and
Dawn of
the Planet of
the Apes
–
preferably in
these freshly
minted 4K
UHD editions
that bring
every strand
of Caesar's
hair into sharp
relief. Out
June 28.
One of the
best and craziest occult
thrillers of the '70s is
finally out on Blu-ray.
The Sentinel
(1977)
takes its
cues from
Rosemary's
Baby
, with
a fashion
model renting
a Manhattan
apartment that
happens to
be built over
the gates of
Hell. Featuring
makeup effects
by the legendary
Dick Smith and an
incredible cast (inc.
Burgess Meredith,
Jeff Goldblum,
Ava Gardner and
Christopher Walken),
this controversial chiller
belongs in every horror
collection.
With the new version of
The Mummy
hitting cinemas on June 8, now is the
time to brush up on your Egyptology and
mummy movie lore. Universal's iconic
monster has been around almost as
long as the pyramids themselves (well,
maybe not quite that long), and
The
Mummy: Complete Legacy Collection
(1932–1955)
features six films that
chart his rise from the tomb, all wrapped up in
a Blu-ray set that's exclusive to JB Hi-Fi while
stocks last. The horror begins with the original
1932 classic starring Boris Karloff and continues
with
The Mummy's Hand
(1940),
The Mummy's Tomb
(1942),
The
Mummy's Ghost
(1944) and
The
Mummy's Curse
(1944). Satirical entry
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy
(1955) rounds out this impressive collection, and
also lightens the mood after a marathon
on Mummy madness. And don't forget
the 1999 Brendan Fraser adventure
and its two sequels –
The Mummy
Returns
and
The Mummy: Tomb of
the Dragon Emperor
– which are now
available in glorious 4K UHD.
