My favorite Tina Fey movie (not that I had many) is coming to Blu-ray and DVD. “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” or WTF is releasing on Digital HD on June 14 & Blu-ray Combo Pack on June 28. This was one of the more surprisingly entertaining films for me this year.
Fey delivers a really nice performance playing Kim Baker (based on real-life journalist Kim Barker). It’s fascinating that this was based on a real events that Kim Barker experienced while being a journalist in Afghanistan. I appreciated the film for the blend of humor and drama, and the reveal behind closed doors of the life that foreign journalists and military members have in war regions. Oh and the mere mention of Margot Robbie is a sell in itself.
The Blu-ray extra features are as follows:
Blu-ray
- Feature film in high definition
- All In: The Making of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
- War Reporter: The Real Kim
- Embedded In Reality – Find out how the military played a pivotal role in bringing the movie to life.
- Wedding Party – Delve into the rich Afghan culture with a fun featurette on the joyous wedding celebration from the film.
- Laughing Matters – See how the characters relied on drinking, partying and other vices to cope with the constant threat of danger.
- Deleted Scenes
- Extended Scene
I’m interested in checking out the War Reporter: The Real Kim feature to hear more of Kim’s story. The Laughing Matters seems like an interesting and fun feature also. The good news is that the Blu-ray Combo Pack seems to have a variety of special features to keep you busy after watching the movie.
