Busy month, so we’ll stick to the highlights. In (17 June, Blu-ray/DVD) a writer (Andrew Scott) visits his childhood home, only to find his dead (out now, 4K/Blu-ray/DVD), which sees Paul Atreides learning the ways of the Fremen so he can lead them into battle as their messiah. We said: “A landmark achievement… If David Lean had made a sci-fi film, it’d probably have looked something like this.” Extras: about an hour’s worth of behind-the-scenes featurettes. Another eight bonuses are digital exclusives. Boo! Written by ’s Diablo Cody, the ’80s-set (out now, Blu-ray/DVD) sees a goth outcast taking in a young Victorian man whose corpse was revived by a lightning strike. Dismemberment ensues. We said: “The production design is where it excels… But many of the jokes are about as funny as a funeral.” Extras include director’s commentary, three featurettes, and deleted scenes. Finally, a lonely dog buys a pet robot in (17 June, 4K/Blu-ray/DVD)… only for his new pal to rust up on a trip to the beach. Oh no! Oscar-nominated for Best Animated Feature, the film also got five stars from our reviewer, who called it “charming”. Extras include a director interview from podcast .
