This week, Warner Bros. releases the Oscar-winning musical "Camelot" on Blu-ray. (The release is tied to the film's 45th anniversary.) We have an exclusive look at the special new edition of the Arthurian classic, along with the full breakdown of this week's entire slate of DVDs and Blu-rays.
Moviefone's Pick of the Week
"The Innkeepers"
What's It About? Two low-rent ghost hunters try to uncover the truth behind the real-life (and supposedly haunted) Yankee Pedlar Inn of Connecticut. Naturally, their ghostbusting ways are unprepared for the real supernatural horror that exists inside the hotel.
See It Because: It's only with the smallest bit of hyperbole that we're calling director Ti West, "The most interesting new voice in the world of American horror movies." With ominous art direction and creeping camera-work, West's filmmaking style has earned him more comparisons to Roman Polanski and Stanley Kubrick, than the slasher schlock of the genre.
