Welcome to a new edition of Pick-Ups!

There’s so much going on, including tons of reviews for the site, that it’s difficult to keep track of it all and still be standing at the end of the day.

There’s no Blu-ray 3D version announced, which probably means that one will be released next year (following the pattern with Disney’s recent The Jungle Book and Star Wars: The Force Awakens).  [Read on here…]
