My Fair Lady is a musical classic that I wasn’t totally enamored with but can appreciate Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison along with the costumes and music choreography.
MagGuyver: Season 4 (and final season) arrives on DVD on June 9th and stars Lucas Till, Tristin Mays, Justin Hires, Meredith Eaton, Levy Tran and Henry Ian Cusick.

Happily is a dark comedy-drama starring Joel McHale, Kerry Bishe, Natalie Zea, Natalie Morales and Stephen Root and comes to Blu-ray (likely MOD) and DVD from Paramount on May 25th.
Son stars Andi Matichak and Emile Hirsch in what is a bit of a combination of Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen. RLJ Films released this on Blu-ray on May 18th.
