It seems as though July just started, however, we are more than half way through the month and it is about time to start thinking about August.

In August, we will be treated to several big hit movies including Rio, Soul Surfer, Paul, Something Borrowed and many more! Please keep in mind that we can pre-order movies so if any titles from August pique your interest, please call or email us and we will pre-order a copy for you!

For now, let’s see what debuts on DVD and Blu-Ray this week…
