New Release Tuesday 7-26

Hey, give me a break!  I was on vacation last week and there were some mention-able releases last week, please see below and have a good rest of the summer.

In a last-ditch effort to stop a diabolical plot, a dead CIA operative's memories, secrets, and skills are implanted into a death-row inmate in hopes that he will complete the operative's mission.  This sounds a little like Face-Off and it has a really great cast to boot.  I am liking this Kevin Costner action man ala Liam Neeson.

Henry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers. This is an interesting looking, first person point of view action movie.

There is really no need for a description here.  It’s Chuck Bronson shooting punks in all of its glory.  I love the story about this action sequel from the documentary Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Stories of Cannon Films where Cannon producers were claiming they had this sequel from one of the 70s greatest movies.  One movie goer thought it was a Godfather sequel and it turned out to be this classic.  The original Death Wish was quite a hit but not so sure about being one of the 70s greatest.  This is from Shout Factory and this is the first time this unrated cut has ever been delivered on home video.  Jimmy Page did the soundtrack for this action classic.  Highly recommended.

I have always thought this title looked more like ‘The Boy Who Cried Chewbecca!”  but this did come out in 1973 so it beat the original Chewie by four years.  Make sure that dude has some Wookie cookies.
