New Release Tuesday

Mortal hero Bek teams with the god Horus in an alliance against Seth, the merciless god of darkness, who has usurped Egypt's throne, plunging the once peaceful and prosperous empire into chaos and conflict.  This looks bad and Gerard Butler must have scored a big check to be in this clunker.


Five sisters in 19th century England must cope with the pressures to marry while protecting themselves from a growing population of zombies.  This is a fantastic sounding concept and I need to check this out soon.

Jesse Owens' quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy.  This is a nice looking historical flick.

Terrorists who kidnap a child from a wealthy family are pursued by a deadly snake.  I wonder if this involves car chases?  And why does the snake care about the kidnapped child?  Let’s watch and find out.

One of several Rudy Ray Moore films, THE HUMAN TORNADO is part of the on-going adventures of Dolemite: a signifying' super-hero. Dolemite comes to the rescue of Queen Bee, whose primarily black Nightclub is threatened by White Mafia types.  I love these old 70s flicks.




Happy Birthday Clint Eastwood!

New Release Tuesday

Former FBI profiler Will Graham returns to service to pursue a deranged serial murderer named "the Tooth Fairy" by the media and gets assistance from an old foe.  Michael Mann introduced the cinematic world to Dr. Hannibal Lecktor who is played by Brian Cox in this classic thriller.  Mann brought over his Miami Vice look and feel to this movie and unfortunately that does stamp a date on the movie somewhat but it does not take anything else away as this movie is badass.  William Peterson has never been better as he is here and same goes for the underappreciated Tom Noonan.  This is a Collector’s Edition from Scream Factory that has some really nice, new special features on it.  This comes with the highest of recommendations.

The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt off the coast of Cape Cod after a pair of oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952.  Disney has already written this off as their bomb for this year as this tanked at the box office in January.  I  wanted to check this out but The Alamo did not carry it so a rental is worthy soon.

I am not the biggest Cronenberg fan but this is a nice set that has some of his early works making their blu ray debut.

No, No, No!
