Ex Machina Blu-ray
Domhnall Gleeson and Alicia Vikander are both rising stars right now, and Ex Machina only helps to raise each actor’s profile. The science fiction film from Alex Garland sets the mood up early. Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) visits his boss Nathan Bateman’s (Oscar Isaacs) home and research facility miles from any other sign of human life. There, he is charged with rendering a Turing Test for an AI known as Ava (Alicia Vikander) who sports a human face but mesh and other mechanical pieces across most of her body. Ex Machina is a spooky sci fi thriller, sold by the desolation of the nature outside of Nathan’s home, the driven-but egotistic A.I. creator himself and web of lies and deceit that are being spun by the characters, human or robot alike. Lionsgate Home Entertainment’s set is as sleek as the technology-driven movie, featuring a lengthy 5-part featurette that’s chock full of information from the movie. For those who are super excited about Garland’s latest directorial effort, there’s even a SXSW Q&A with the cast and crew. You can order Ex Machina over at Amazon

The Water Diviner
Russell Crowe’s directorial debut is the perfect fit for the actor, following a character who is both steadfast and emotional when it comes to his family. The film opens in 1919, in the days following the end of WWI. Despite living away from the warfront in Australia, Joshua Connor (Crowe) has suffered a lot of loss. His three sons all perished in the hard-fought Battle of Gallipoli. Despondent over the loss, Joshua decides to travel to Turkey to retrieve the remains of his children, meeting Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko) and her son Orhan (Dylan Georgiades) when he gets there. While slow at the start, Turkey is a rich setting for a film and the post-WWI era leads to plenty of human moments, not to mention fighting sequences. But it’s Crowe that will leave the biggest impression, with a performance that should stay with you for days. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s set is Spartan, but if you are interested in world history "The Battle of Gallipoli" bonus feature is notable. You can order The Water Diviner over at Amazon.
