DVD Tuesday: Central Intelligence, Warcraft and The Shallows

Here are three new releases that I'm interested in: Central Intelligence, Warcraft and The Shallows. I love watching movies just as much as I love reading books but I don't always get a chance to see them when they're actually in the theater. So I wait for when they're out on DVD/Blu-ray.

The trailer for Central Intelligence looks like it's going to be fun to watch. Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson, kind of hard to go wrong with that combination. As for Warcraft I've never played the World of Warcraft game which leaves me with no knowledge of what going on other than what I see in the trailer. I know this movie wasn't necessarily a fan favorite, I remember hearing about how much some fans despised this movie. However, I'm willing to give it chance to see if it's any good. For the last movie, The Shallows it seems interesting despite the mixed reviews I've seen and the fact that I'm tired of seeing sharks being shown as monsters and villains. What can I say I like sharks.

These are the three I'm going to try to pick up, are there any movies you're picking up this week?
