Fox Searchlight has just announced that on April 17th it will release its highly controversial film Shame on Blu-Ray combo pack. The film, directed by Steve McQueen and bearing the unsightly NC-17 rating, has garnered a better-than-expected $10.6 million in worldwide box-office receipts. For those of you not wishing to be seen in public viewing the story centered around a New York professional who lives a life of sex addiction, you can now see what everyone is talking about in the comfort of your own home.
The film stars Michael Fassbender as a New Yorker who refuses to partake in intimate sex but constantly enjoys random connections. When his sister (Carey Mulligan) comes to town for a few weeks, his entire life is turned upside down as he attempts to shuffle his life to please all those involved.
The special Blu-Ray combo pack will include:

About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
