Magic Mike
While advertised as a riotous chick flick (which helped it trouser over $100m from a $7m budget), Magic Mike is more a low-fi drama – admittedly about male strippers – with Channing Tatum excelling in the title role and Matthew McConaughey providing beefy support. The Blu-ray's 2.35:1 1080p transfer is sharp, but director Steven Soderbergh's habit of given everything – be it the sky, the sea, someone's face – a yellow tint is distracting, while the TrueHD 5.1 audio pumps out the soundtrack but has little else to do. Extras include a behind-the-scenes doc and extended dance scenes.
