The Blu-ray ‘Skin I Live In’

How about a hell yeah?  It’s Tuesday!  OK…why am I so excited?  I’ll tell you why!  It’s because the only film, besides Warrior, that I felt I missed out on in 2011 has finally been confirmed to be coming to Blu-ray this March.  Some call the movie “Scary, sexy and terrifically twisted.”  Others call it “Extraordinary beautiful!”  Whatever it may be, The Skin I Live In is a MUST-SEE in my opinion.  So that’s why I’m very happy to spread Blu-ray love, joy and happiness today with the following press release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.  Enjoy!
