New Release Tuesday

Director John Carpenter returned to his low budget movie making ways and created this great sci-fi cult classic.  This stars wrestling great Rowdy Roddy Piper in a great turn as a guy down on his luck as he discovers some sunglasses that let him see what is really going on around him.  This is based on Reaganomics of the late 80s where commercials, ads, and labels had subliminal messages.  Contains what most say is the longest fight scene on film ever.  "I've come here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I am all out of bubblegum."  Nice job by Scream Factory once again.

Fat Steven Seagal and Stone Cold Steve Austin star in this action thriller that I have been reading good things about.  I read a long time ago this might be going theatrical but I guess fat Steve could not sell it so DTV this is.  Still looking forward to it.

This was director John Carpenter's USC film school film.  It was regarded so well he got some additional funds to add to it and got a theatrical release.  Co-written and stars the late great Dan O'Bannon.  (Alien)
