Finish The Day Off With Before Midnight On Blu-ray This October

One of the best films of the year is hitting Blu-ray on October 22.  Before Midnight is the third part in a trilogy from the minds of writer/director Richard Linklater and writer/stars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.  It is also one of the most exciting movies about people walking and talking that I have seen.  The film revolves around characters that have been developed over the course of 18 years, since they first shared the screen, and where they are now, as we watch them on a trip in Greece.  The film was a huge hit with critics and certainly lived up to the expectations of those who have watched Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.  Read on to learn about this upcoming Blu-ray release.

“GRADE A! An enchanting entertainment!”
– Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“The defining movie love story of a generation, flush with humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance.”
– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

“Warm, funny and rigorously truthful.”
– Farran Smith Nehme, NEW YORK POST
