Home Market Releases for April 2nd, 2019
April 3, 2019
Bumblebee is the last of the major winter release to hit the home market and with that we enter the summer doldrums. Fortunately, it is a great movie, even if it can’t live up to its Tomatometer Score, but it is still worth picking up and a contender for Pick of the Week. The only other contender is A Silent Voice on Blu-ray. It wasn’t a really close contest and A Silent Voice truly earns that honor.

The screener arrived on Monday. That’s technically not late, but too late to get a review done on time. I will be watching it as soon as I’ve done this story.
A spin-off of The Bletchley Circle, but it’s earning terrible reviews. Stick with the original.

The first film in the Transformers franchise to earn overwhelmingly positive reviews. It was also the weakest at the box office. Did it deserve a bigger box office? Or were critics overly generous? Read our review to find out.
Anime is weird. There are shows that despite earning incredible acclaim and are beloved by fans, only get one, maybe two seasons. Then there are shows like Dragon Ball that never seem to end. Shows that have runs somewhere in the middle are strangely rare.
It is very rare for concert DVD to appear this high up on the sales chart.
The penultimate season of the longest-running BBC comedy and one of the longest-running live-action TV shows of all time.
It’s a Hallmark Channel Original Movie. There are no reviews, but if you are in the target audience, then you know if you want to see this one or not.
Video on Demand
This film is better than it should be, especially given that name, but it is merely good and not great. There are some who will love this film and it has major cult classic potential. Extras include an audio commentary track, a substantial making of featurette, deleted scenes, interviews, and more. It is worth picking up and nearly a contender for Pick of the Week.
Busted Oscar-bait. Given its pedigree and its release date, most assumed it would be a major player during Awards Season, but that didn’t happen. In fact, its reviews weren’t even strong enough to be Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Additionally, the only extras are a making of featurette and a music video. That’s disappointing.
An HBO TV show about the friendship between two women that started in Naples in the 1960s. The reviews are amazing, but it is only coming out on DVD with substantial extras.
This movie has an average review of just over 9 out of 10 on My Anime List. It is about a deaf girl who was bullied until she had to leave her elementary school. Her bully becomes a social outcast and years later tries to find her to make amends. Extras are limited to promos and music videos, which is too bad, as apparently the U.K. version has some interviews and even a look at some of the real-life locations in the movie. Even so, it is easily worth picking up and a contender for Pick of the Week.

This should have been busted Oscar-bait, as its reviews were barely in the overall positive level. However, Awards Season voters loved it a lot more than critics or regular audiences did.

There’s a lot of Anime on this week’s list, including straight up Hentai. Castle Town Dandelion is arguably the best of those. However, I’m most interested in The Great Buster and Terra Formars.

There are only two 4K releases this week, but one of them is the biggest release of the week.
No megasets this week.
Glass - Reviews - Video on Demand
There’s only one secondary VOD release on this week’s list and I’m not particularly interested in seeing it.
