So we get three musicals, Alien and Aliens (forget the other two) on Blu-ray for the first time, and arguably Michael Mann’s greatest directorial achievement. Now is it too much to ask for proper 16:9 anamorphic releases for The Abyss and True Lies? Maybe when the Ultimate Edition of Avatar comes out on Blu-ray. Oh, and some movie called Star Wars.
