This movie may have boosted Tom Hanks’ career, but it’s not exactly doing anything for the Blu-ray industry.
There’s gold hidden in this plate of Western spaghetti served up on Blu-ray Disc from MGM.
Same-old extras and so-so audio/video can’t diminish the timeless power of corn. (That is, a mystical baseball diamond surrounded by a stalks of the sweet yellow stuff.)
