New Release Tuesday


Skyscraper- A security expert must infiltrate a burning skyscraper, 225 stories above ground, when his family are trapped inside by criminals.  This is no Die Hard but it is a good action movie.  The Rock said this was a throw back to Die Hard so I would expect a good Hans Gruber villain but the bad guy in this absolutely sucks on the page and the screen and that almost brings the whole building and movie down.  The Rock is good as this saves the movie and Neve Campbell is awesome in it and makes a bad ass mom and wife.  Give this a spin, you will enjoy it.



Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation- Count Dracula and company participate in a cruise for sea-loving monsters, unaware that their boat is being commandeered by the monster-hating Van Helsing family.  It’s October so it is time to watch anything Halloween related, and this is good for the whole fam.


Trick ‘r Treat- Five interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.  This is the best horror movie of the last decade.  It is an awesome horror anthology movie that ties itself all together at the end and if you have not seen this do it now.  This is a new release from Scream Factory so it will be great and worth the upgrade.



Bad Ronald- A perverted teenage boy who lives in the walls of a house finds the house sold to a family after his mother dies, and he falls for one of the new residents.  I have never seen this made for TV movie and it has gained quite the cult status of late and is getting a blu ray release from Warner Archive.  It’s in my wish list now. 


Ninja Zombie- Orlan Sands is threatened by an evil spider-themed karate cult seeking the location of an archaeological dig unearthing a rare magical artifact , so he turns to his best friend Jack, a martial arts champion, for protection. But when Jack is killed, he has no choice but to seek out a voodoo witch doctor who brings Jack back to life as Ninja Zombie. Now, the undead warrior foil the plans of the cult and its leader, who will stop at nothing to succeed, even if it means kidnapping Jack's fiancee.  I mean, why not?
