Exploration is the theme in this week’s DVDs.  There’s a newly re-mastered version of the 1948 classic, Scott Of  The Antarctic, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar winner, The Revenant.  Plus Antonio Banderas leads the Chilean miners to safety in the true story of The 33, and there’s the would-be thriller, Go With Me.
