Blu-Ray/DVD Releases: October 23, 2012

Welcome back! You're probably clamoring for those new releases, so I'll make this quick. We  have five standout titles this week, which includes Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Magic Mike, and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. There isn't really anything noteworthy in the classic reissue section, so this week will be rather short. Still, there should be a little something for everybody.  Hit the jump for this weeks releases!
