TOP PICK
Bridge of Spies
Rated PG-13
Studio: DreamWorks
Formats available: BD, DVD, VOD
Steve Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated film about the negotiation for a prisoner exchange during the Cold War is a slow burn but very effectively done, featuring some fantastic performances by Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance. If you missed this one in theaters, it’s very much worth checking out in your home cinema. Special features include behind-the-scenes featurettes about the Cold War and the effects of the U-2 plane crash.

Mary Costa Interview
A Conversation with Mary Costa of “Sleeping Beauty”
BY KEVIN CARR
This week, the Walt Disney Company is releasing the 2-disc Platinum Edition of Sleeping Beauty to commemorate the movie’s upcoming 50th anniversary. It’s also available for the first time on BluRay in a 3-disc set (which includes hi-def versions of the first two discs, along with a bonus standard DVD of the film).
Mary Costa, who provided the voice for Princess Aurora, as well as a life-action reference for the animator, saw the film this September in high definition at the El Capitan theater.
“I was absolutely enveloped in what I thought was a perfect film,” she said. “I’ve seen it through the years, and I thought Walt Disney must be smiling because he was a perfectionist, and for the first time, it was perfection.”
