Coming out on DVD and Blu-ray this week are several films worth a watch including Focus, McFarland, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and Jupiter Ascending.

After longtime con man Nicky Spurgeon (Will Smith) meets Jess Barrett (Margot Robbie), he decides to train her in the art of the con, bringing her in on his network of theft, misdirection and discretion. In Focus, it’s all about the art of the steal whether it be a picked pocket, a stolen credit card or a watch taken right off the wrist. When it is time to part ways, Nicky takes the group’s money and gambles it all at a football game. Following the game, Nicky and Jess part ways, only to find themselves on opposite sides of a job a few years later. When Nicky and Jess team up again it’s a matter of life and death to see if they can get away with their lives.
