Blu-Ray/DVD Releases: December 18, 2012

Posted by on
It's that time of the week again, which is rather convenient as Christmas is just around he corner. There are multiple titles to choose from this week - though a couple of them are not available until Friday. The biggest names are probably the remake of Total Recall - one of the most expensive and boring remakes to be produced as of late, and the cinematic wet fart that is Resident Evil: Retribution. At least they will look good on Blu-ray...right?
