New Release Tuesday



Arrival- When twelve mysterious spacecraft appear around the world, linguistics professor Louise Banks is tasked with interpreting the language of the apparent alien visitors.  I did not catch this in the theater so I am glad this sc-fi thriller is out today.  I hope Amy Adams finally got away from romantic comedies for good.



The Yakuza- Harry Kilmer returns to Japan after several years to rescue his friend George's kidnapped daughter - and ends up on the wrong side of the Yakuza, the notorious Japanese mafia.  Robert Mitchum was a bad ass in his day and if you doubt me got watch the original Cape Fear.  I am wondering if Mitchum uses some martial arts in this 70s action flick?



One Million Years B.C.- In this remake of the 1940 film with a similar title, Prehistoric man Tumak is banished from his savage tribe and meets pretty Loana who belongs to a gentler coastal tribe but he must fight caveman Payto to win her favors.  An all-time classic.



It Came from Outer Space- A spaceship from another world crashes in the Arizona desert, and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strange.  I picked this up a long time ago when it was a Best Buy exclusive but now the Amazon masses can enjoy it.
